What does StepStone Jobs Scraper do?

This Actor scrapes public StepStone search pages and job ads on stepstone.de, stepstone.at and stepstone.be (including .be locale paths /jobs, /emplois, /vacatures). You get one flat row per job: title, company, location, predicted or stated salary, labels, skills and provenance. Turn on Include full details to open each job page for description sections, company facts and contacts printed in the ad.

It does not cover UK StepStone brands (Totaljobs, CWJobs, Jobsite, Caterer), stepstone.nl, website email enrichment, or chat/Slack notifications.

Why scrape StepStone jobs?

• Recruiting & talent sourcing — Role lists across DE / AT / BE without copying from the browser.
• Job-market research — Titles, cities, predicted salaries, remote mix, sponsored vs organic.
• Lead generation — Companies that are hiring, plus contacts that employers print in the public ad.
• Job monitoring — Schedule a search; pay only for new or changed ads.
• Automation — Apify schedules, API, webhooks, Zapier / Make / n8n; export JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

How to scrape StepStone jobs

1. Open the Actor and click Try for free.
2. Set Keywords (e.g. software engineer) and optional Locations (e.g. hamburg), or paste Start URLs from the site (filters included).
3. Choose Country de / at / be when building from keywords.
4. Set Max jobs (start with 25).
5. Optionally turn on Include full details.
6. Click Start. Download JSON / CSV / Excel, or send the dataset to an integration.

Start URL types

URL	Behaviour
Search / filtered listing	Paginated listing scrape
/work/… keyword URL	Same as search
/cmp/…/jobs company list	Only that employer’s jobs
…--<id>-inline.html job page	Single job (details fetched)

When Start URLs are set, keyword / location builders are ignored.

Monitoring on a schedule

1. Set the same search input and a stable Monitoring key (or leave empty for an auto hash).
2. Set Sort by to Date.
3. Enable Only new or changed.
4. Create an Apify Schedule (e.g. daily). Unchanged jobs are not saved and not charged.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is pay-per-event. Configure amounts in Console → Publishing → Monetization. The Actor emits these event names:

Event	Suggested price	When
job (primary)	$0.001 ($1.00 / 1,000)	Row saved without full details
job-detail	$0.0018 ($1.80 / 1,000)	Row saved with full details — instead of job, never both
apify-actor-start	Platform synthetic	Run start (memory-based)

Worked examples

• 250 listing jobs → 250 × $0.001 = $0.25
• 1,000 jobs with details → 1,000 × $0.0018 = $1.80
• Daily monitoring of a search with ~50 new jobs/day (listing only) → ≈ 50 × 30 × $0.001 ≈ $1.50 / month

Do not enable apify-default-dataset-item, or every row is billed twice. Unchanged monitoring rows are free. Apify compute and proxy are billed separately by the platform.

Non-paying Apify users are capped at 20 rows per run (clear log message).

Input

See the Input tab for the full form. Highlights:

Field	Default	Notes
startUrls	—	Search, /work/, company /cmp/…/jobs, or job URLs
keywords / locations / country	software engineer / (empty = whole country) / de	Prefill location hamburg; cartesian product of searches
radius	—	km around the location
postedWithin	any	Verified: 1 (24h), 7, 30
remote	any	remote / hybrid / onsite via StepStone wp= facet
minSalary	—	Yearly filter (us=)
applicationMethod	any	Quick apply vs company website
sortBy	relevance	Or date
includeDetails	false	Opens job pages; charges job-detail
descriptionFormat	text	text / html / markdown / all
maxItems	25	Max saved (= max charged) rows
onlyNewOrChanged / monitoringKey	off	Monitoring mode
proxyConfiguration	Apify Proxy	Datacenter by default; escalates to residential DE after blocks

Working hours, experience level, and job-language filters are not exposed until verified live — paste a filtered Start URL from the site instead.

Limitations

• Broad searches may advertise a high pageCount; if pagination stops early, the run summary records it — split by location or date.
• Many salaries are StepStone estimates (salaryIsEstimate: true); employer-stated figures are kept apart when present.
• On some DE /jobs/ listings workFromHomeCode is null; use the remote filter and/or detail workType text.
• postCode is often missing on listing rows.
• Region-restricted ads may keep listing data with detailError and charge job instead of job-detail.
• Public pages only. No login, CAPTCHA solving, or CV/candidate data.

FAQ

Can I scrape Austria and Belgium?

Yes. Set country to at or be, or paste start URLs from those hosts. Belgium supports /emplois/, /vacatures/, and /jobs/ paths.

Do you charge for failed detail pages?

If the ad is offline or blocked after retries, the Actor keeps listing fields, sets detailError, and charges job, not job-detail.

How do I keep costs down?

Use listing mode for discovery, lower maxItems, avoid residential unless needed, and use monitoring so unchanged jobs are free.

Is this affiliated with StepStone?

No. It is an independent Apify Actor for public pages.

For AI agents

Minimal input

{
  "keywords": ["software engineer"],
  "locations": ["hamburg"],
  "country": "de",
  "maxItems": 25
}

Behaviours

• Empty / schema-default runs probe a small DE Hamburg search.
• Deduplicates by job id across searches in one run.
• Drops recommended sections unless includeRelatedJobs is true.
• Monitoring state lives in named key-value store stepstone-monitor.
• Writes RUN_SUMMARY (and MONITORING_SUMMARY when monitoring).

Billing

• Exactly one of job or job-detail per saved row.
• Never emits apify-default-dataset-item.
• Respects ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD / charge-limit stop.
