## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## iCIMS Jobs Scraper: iCIMS portals and iCIMS Attract career sites

Scrape jobs from employer career sites on **iCIMS**, both kinds in one Actor: classic iCIMS-hosted portals
(`https://careers-<company>.icims.com`) and **iCIMS Attract** (Jibe) sites on the employer's own domain
(`https://careers.costco.com`, `https://careers.mountsinai.org`). The kind is read from the address. Each row has the
title, place with ZIP, posting date, job type, category, pay when the employer states it, the full description and,
on Attract sites, the apply link. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or use the API.

**USD 0.39 per 1,000 jobs.** No login, no browser. Not affiliated with iCIMS.

### What you get

- **Attract (Jibe) sites:** the site's own search, newest first, up to 100 full jobs per request (description, address,
  employer, categories, apply link): no job-page requests.
- **Classic portals:** every open job from the portal's sitemap, then one framed job page each (39 KB instead of the
  367 KB full page) with its structured data and the portal's own field list ("Job Type", "Min Pay Rate",
  "Posted Pay Range"...), kept in `extra.portalFields`.
- **Pay as the employer states it:** structured pay with its unit from the page's own pay text, else the portal's pay
  fields ("Min Pay Rate USD $25.00/Hr."), else a pay sentence in the description ("The salary range for the role is
  $58661 - $73530 Annually."). In our tests: pay on 14 of 20 Pinkerton rows and 16 of 20 Mount Sinai rows.
- **Cleaned portal data:** "UNAVAILABLE" placeholders (company, street, city, country) are never output, the place
  comes from the portal's Location field when the address is empty ("AR-LITTLE ROCK" becomes Little Rock, AR), and
  dates that some portals stamp with the time of the request (a posting date exactly two years before the visit) are
  dropped instead of being reported as real dates.

### Which sites

There is no public list of iCIMS employers, so you give the ones you want: open the employer's careers page, click
through to its job search and copy the address. These answered on 20 Oct 2026:

| Site | Kind | Jobs |
|---|---|---|
| `https://careers.costco.com` | Attract (Jibe) | 20,539 |
| `https://careers.mountsinai.org` | Attract (Jibe) | (one page read) |
| `https://uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com` | classic portal | 31 |
| `https://clinical-emory.icims.com` | classic portal | 919 |
| `https://careers-commonspirit.icims.com` | classic portal | 5,922 |
| `https://careers-securityusainc.icims.com` | classic portal | 14 |

### Input examples

```json
{ "sites": [{ "url": "https://careers.mountsinai.org" }], "keywords": ["nurse"], "maxJobs": 200 }
```

A portal that prints no company name, with the name set and new jobs only (daily schedule):

```json
{ "sites": [{ "url": "https://uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com/jobs/search" }], "companyName": "Pinkerton", "onlyNewJobs": true }
```

### Example row

From a saved Pinkerton sitemap and job page, with "Company name" set to Pinkerton because this portal prints
"UNAVAILABLE" (empty fields left out, description shortened):

```json
{
  "jobId": "icims:uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com:3204",
  "title": "Emergency Response Agent",
  "company": "Pinkerton",
  "location": "Santa Clara, CA, US",
  "city": "Santa Clara",
  "region": "CA",
  "postalCode": "95053",
  "country": "US",
  "remote": false,
  "workplaceType": "onsite",
  "salaryMin": 60.77,
  "salaryMax": 60.77,
  "salaryCurrency": "USD",
  "salaryPeriod": "HOUR",
  "employmentType": "FULL_TIME",
  "category": "Protective Security",
  "datePosted": "2026-10-16T04:00:00.000Z",
  "validThrough": "2027-10-16T04:00:00.000Z",
  "descriptionText": "Overview 170+ Years Strong. Industry Leader. Global Impact.At Pinkerton, the mission is to protect our clients. To do this, we provide enterprise risk management services and programs specifically designed for ...",
  "jobUrl": "https://uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com/jobs/3204/emergency-response-agent/job",
  "sourceBoard": "iCIMS career sites",
  "duplicateKey": "1627acc2d6d9c676",
  "extra": {
    "requisitionId": "3204",
    "portal": "uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com",
    "lastModified": "2026-10-19T18:21:52-04:00",
    "route": "classic portal sitemap",
    "directApply": true,
    "salarySource": "the page's structured data",
    "portalFields": {
      "Category": "Protective Security",
      "Position Type": "Full-Time",
      "Min Pay Rate": "USD $60.77/Hr.",
      "Max Pay Rate": "USD $60.77/Hr.",
      "Job Type": "On-Site"
    }
  }
}
```

### Good to know

- **The Actor identifies itself on iCIMS** with a bot User-Agent (`UsefulApiJobsBot`, with a link to our Apify page).
  In our tests the portals' firewall answered a captcha page to browser-like scripts and answered the identified bot
  normally. If a portal still blocks a run, the run summary says so.
- **Search words on classic portals** must be in the job title as written in the job's web address (those portals have
  no usable search page): a job whose address says only "agent" matches only "agent". On Attract sites the site's own
  search runs over titles and descriptions.
- **Places on classic portals** are known only after the job page is read: jobs in other places are read but not saved
  or charged. On Attract sites the place filter runs on the list.
- **Posted within (days)** on classic portals uses the sitemap's last-change date. Portals with request-time dates
  (Emory and Security USA in our tests) give no posting date at all.
- Some portals give no company (Pinkerton): set "Company name". A pay line with only "$" and no known country gets no
  currency (CommonSpirit).
- Attract sites follow a robots.txt crawl delay of 5 s: a 20-job run is one list request and takes about 9 s. A classic
  portal reads one job page per job, about 1.1 s each.
- Costco's list includes records from its own catalog of typical positions, which its descriptions say are not
  necessarily open; they are Costco's data and are delivered as listed. Mount Sinai's apply links lead to its Oracle
  site.
- Keep "Open each job page" on for classic portals: without the job page a row has only the title from the address
  and the link.

### Who uses it

- **Recruiters and staffing agencies:** new jobs at target employers every day, with stated pay.
- **Healthcare and security hiring research:** openings and pay by employer and place.
- **Job boards and aggregators:** clean iCIMS feeds with pay.

### Output: one row per job

Every Actor in this family writes the same columns, so you can merge boards in one sheet or database.

| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| `jobId` | The board's own job id |
| `title`, `company` | Job title and hiring company (as the board shows them) |
| `companyUrl`, `companyLogoUrl` | Company page and logo on the board, when given |
| `location`, `city`, `region`, `postalCode`, `country` | Location as shown, and its parts; `country` is an ISO code (FR, DE, US...) |
| `remote`, `workplaceType` | `true`/`false` and `remote`, `hybrid` or `onsite`, only when the board says so |
| `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryCurrency`, `salaryPeriod`, `salaryText` | Salary range as numbers, ISO currency, `HOUR`/`DAY`/`WEEK`/`MONTH`/`YEAR`; empty when the board gives none (never guessed) |
| `employmentType`, `employmentTypeText` | `FULL_TIME`, `PART_TIME`, `TEMPORARY`, `INTERN`, `APPRENTICE`, `CONTRACTOR`, `FREELANCE`..., and the board's own wording |
| `experienceLevel`, `category`, `skills` | When the board gives them |
| `datePosted`, `validThrough` | ISO 8601 dates |
| `descriptionText`, `descriptionHtml` | Full description as plain text and as HTML |
| `applyUrl`, `jobUrl` | Where to apply, and the job's page on the board |
| `sourceBoard`, `searchLabel`, `scrapedAt` | Which board, which of your searches found it, when |
| `duplicateKey` | The same key for the same ad posted on several boards (or reposted): title without (m/w/d) or H/F tags, company without legal form, city, country. Use it to merge results from several of our board Actors |
| `extra` | A few fields only this board has |

Contact email addresses and phone numbers inside descriptions are removed: this Actor never collects recruiters'
personal contact details.

### Job alerts: only new jobs, sent where you work

1. Switch on **Only new jobs since the last run** and schedule the Actor (daily, hourly). It remembers the jobs it
   has already delivered for the same searches and filters, in a key-value store on your own account (named job-boards-seen-<board>), and saves only
   new ones. The first run delivers everything and remembers it. **Memory name** shares one memory between schedules,
   or starts fresh.
2. Paste a **Slack or Discord webhook** (or a Zapier or Make webhook, which can email you) into **Send new jobs to**.
   After each run that found new jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links.
   Free: the message is never billed.

Apify's own integrations (Google Sheets, email, webhooks) work too.

### Pricing

Pay per job saved: **USD 0.39 per 1,000 jobs** (USD 0.00039 a job), plus USD 0.002 per run start. No
monthly rental, no charge for jobs skipped as duplicates, already seen or filtered out. Set a maximum cost per run in
Apify and the Actor stops just before it, keeping everything saved so far.

### Use it through the API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/usefulapi~icims-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"sites":[{"url":"https://careers.costco.com"},{"url":"https://uscareers-pinkerton.icims.com/jobs/search"},{"url":"https://careers.mountsinai.org"}],"maxJobs":20}'
```

Python: `ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN").actor("usefulapi/icims-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={...})`, then read the dataset items.

### Good to know

- **Polite by design:** one request at a time per site with a pause between requests, and the site's robots.txt is
  followed. Runs read public job pages only: no login, no candidate profiles or CVs.
- **What a run summary tells you:** the `OUTPUT` record has jobs saved per search, jobs skipped (duplicates, seen
  before, too old) and why a run stopped early, if it did.
- **Is it legal?** The Actor reads job ads that the board publishes openly, the same pages a job seeker sees. You are
  responsible for how you use the data (for example, the board's terms and data protection rules in your country).
- **Found a problem?** Open an issue on the Issues tab: we answer quickly.

# Actor input Schema

## `sites` (type: `array`):

Career sites, one per line. Two kinds work: (1) iCIMS-hosted portals, https://careers-<company>.icims.com/jobs/search (any \*.icims.com address), and (2) iCIMS Attract (Jibe) sites on the employer's own domain, for example https://careers.costco.com or https://careers.mountsinai.org. The kind is read from the address. Open the employer's careers page, click through to its job search and copy the address. There is no public list of iCIMS employers, so you give the ones you want.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

One search per line. On Attract (Jibe) sites the site's own search runs over titles and descriptions. On iCIMS-hosted portals every word must be in the job title as written in the job's web address (security officer, nurse); those portals have no usable search page. Leave empty to read every job.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose place contains one of these (Texas, Seattle, NY). On Attract sites this is checked on the list; on iCIMS-hosted portals the place is only known after the job page is read, so unwanted jobs are read but not saved or charged.

## `companyName` (type: `string`):

Attract sites and most portals name the employer in their data; some portals print 'UNAVAILABLE'. Write a name here to use it for every row of the run instead.

## `maxJobs` (type: `integer`):

Stop after saving this many jobs (across all searches). You pay only for jobs saved.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Only jobs published in the last N days. 0 = any date.

## `onlyNewJobs` (type: `boolean`):

Remembers the jobs already delivered for these searches (in a key-value store on your account) and saves only jobs not seen before. Ideal for daily or hourly schedules and job alerts. The first run delivers everything and remembers it.

## `stateKey` (type: `string`):

Use the same name on several schedules to share one memory, or a new name to start fresh. Letters, digits, - and \_. Empty = one memory per set of searches.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Reads each job's own page for the full description and extra fields. Turn off for faster runs with list fields only (same price per job).

## `notifyUrl` (type: `string`):

Paste a Slack or Discord webhook link, or a Zapier or Make webhook (which can email you). After each run that saved jobs you get one message with the count and up to 10 jobs with their links. With 'Only new jobs' on and a schedule, this is a free job alert. Not billed.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Plain text, HTML, both, or none (smaller datasets).

## `maxJobsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Cap for each search line, so one broad search does not use up the whole run. 0 = no cap.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Not needed for iCIMS career sites in our tests. Apify datacenter proxy or your own proxies only; residential proxy is not supported.

  "sites": [
