Workday Jobs Scraper

What does Workday Jobs Scraper do?

Workday Jobs Scraper automatically collects open job listings from public Workday career sites — the same pages job seekers see on myworkdayjobs.com and myworkdaysite.com.

Paste a company's public careers URL, run the Actor on Apify, and export a clean dataset to Excel, CSV, JSON, or connect it to Google Sheets, Zapier, or your own app via the Apify API.

It works with public career pages only — no login, no employee portals. It does not support Greenhouse, Lever, or other non-Workday ATS sites.

Why scrape Workday job listings?

Workday powers career sites for thousands of large employers. Manually checking those pages is slow; this Actor turns them into structured data you can filter, schedule, and integrate.

Use cases:

• Recruiting & talent teams — Track openings at target employers
• Job boards & aggregators — Keep listings fresh without manual entry
• Competitive intelligence — Monitor who is hiring and where
• Sales & lead gen — Hiring activity as a buying signal
• Market research — Build datasets for dashboards and reports

Platform advantages on Apify:

• ⏱ Schedule daily or weekly runs to catch new postings
• 🔗 Integrate with Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, or webhooks
• 📊 Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML
• 🔄 Compare runs to flag new jobs since your last scrape
• ⚡ Fast listing-only runs — skip descriptions for quick results

How much does it cost to scrape Workday jobs?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing on Apify — you pay only for what the run produces. See the Pricing tab on this Actor page for current event rates and plan-specific pricing.

Event	Charged when
job-listing	Each job saved to your dataset
job-detail	Each job where Include job description is enabled
apify-actor-start	Once per run (Apify default)

How to keep usage predictable:

• Leave Include job description off for faster listing-only runs.
• Set Max items to cap how many jobs are saved per run.
• Set a Max spend per run limit in Apify Console.

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab after each run.

The Actor also writes a run summary to the key-value store (visible on the Output tab) with counts for jobs saved, new jobs, and runtime.

Sample output (one job):

{
  "title": "Senior Software Engineer",
  "company": "Example Corp",
  "location": "Austin, Texas, United States",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "remoteType": "Hybrid",
  "seniorityHint": "Senior",
  "postedDate": "2025-01-15",
  "jobUrl": "https://company.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External/job/Austin/Senior-Software-Engineer_JR-123456",
  "isNew": true,
  "jobId": "JR-123456",
  "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Use the built-in dataset views — Overview, New jobs, and Remote & hybrid — to browse results without exporting.

For programmatic access, use the API tab on this Actor page or the Apify API to fetch dataset items after each run.

Tips and advanced options

Get faster runs

• Leave Include job description off until you confirm URLs and filters work.
• Start with one URL and Max items: 25, then scale up.
• Use Deduplicate results when scraping multiple URLs for the same employer.

Monitor new jobs on a schedule

1. Create a Schedule (e.g. daily at 6:00 AM).
2. Enable Compare with previous run and paste your previous run's dataset ID (from the Storage tab).
3. Open the New jobs dataset view to see only new postings.

Send results to other tools

• Google Sheets — Use Apify's Google Sheets integration on the dataset.
• Slack / Zapier / Make — Add a webhook on run success, then pull dataset rows.
• Your app — Call the Apify API or download CSV/JSON exports.

Improve filter accuracy

• Use Keywords and Locations arrays for broader OR-style matching.
• Posted within (days) works best on sites where Workday exposes posting dates.
• If filters return too many results, narrow keywords or reduce Max items.

FAQ

Why did my run return zero jobs?

Confirm the URL opens a public Workday job list in your browser without logging in. Try the main careers page (External, careers, or jobs). Remove keyword, location, and date filters temporarily.

Why are some fields empty?

Not every employer publishes salary, remote type, or exact dates on public pages. Title, job link, and location are usually available.

How do I get full job descriptions?

Turn on Include job description in the Input tab. This fetches each job's detail page and uses additional events per job.

Can I scrape Greenhouse or Lever career pages?

No. This Actor supports Workday-hosted career URLs only (myworkdayjobs.com, myworkdaysite.com).

How do I track only new jobs?

Enable Compare with previous run, provide Previous dataset ID from your last run, and filter by isNew: true or use the New jobs dataset view.
