Swiss Jobs Scraper: jobs.ch and jobup.ch with salary and workload %

Scrape jobs.ch and jobup.ch, Switzerland's biggest job boards, in one run. For every job you get the title, company, place with postcode, street and canton, workload % (Pensum), contract type, position level, required languages, benefits, publication dates and the link. Turn on Include full details to add the full job description (with the site's translation into English, German or French), the site's salary estimate in CHF per year, category, industry, work hours, expiry date, how to apply and the application link, plus the employer profile (website, size, rating). Search by keyword and place, filter by workload, contract type, position level and publication date, paste search or job URLs, and run it daily with Only new jobs. A job listed on both sites is saved once. No login, no cookies, no account.

What you get

Job	Title, job URL and ID, the site's standard job title, category, skills, published and first-published date, expiry date, start date, sponsored flag
Workload and contract	Workload from–to in % (e.g. 80–100%), contract type (permanent, temporary, freelance, internship, side job, apprenticeship), position level (executive, specialist, employee), work hours per week
Place	City, postcode, street, canton, region, country, coordinates, and every workplace when an ad has several
Salary	jobs.ch / jobup.ch's salary estimate for the job: min and max in CHF per year, whether it's based on the canton or all of Switzerland, and how many reported salaries it's built on
Requirements	Required languages and levels (e.g. German, native; French, fluent)
Benefits	The benefits the employer lists: working from home, flexible hours, public-transport ticket, parking …
The ad	Full description as text and HTML in the ad's language, plus the site's translation into your chosen language when the ad is in another one

Employer	Name, profile page, logo, website, switchboard phone, size, founding year, city, industry, rating and number of reviews

The listing fields come with every job. The salary estimate, description, category, industry, work hours, application link and employer profile come from each job's own page, so they need Include full details (or a pasted job URL).

How to use it

1. Enter one or more keywords, e.g. data analyst, Pflegefachfrau, comptable, software engineer.
2. Optionally enter a place — a city, postcode, canton or region such as Zürich, 8001, Genève, Bern, Ticino.
3. Pick the sites (both by default), set Max jobs, and run.
4. Optional: Include full details, filters (Workload, Contract type, Position, Published), Only new jobs for scheduled runs.

Pricing

Pay per result, no monthly fee:

• $1.40 per 1,000 jobs saved (listing fields).
• + $1.40 per 1,000 jobs whose full details were read (only with Include full details or pasted job URLs) — $2.80 per 1,000 with everything.
• $0.10 per 1,000 search pages that gave no new job (a search with no results, or pages of jobs you already have) — $0.0001 each.
• $0.002 per run (start).

Examples: 10 jobs ≈ $0.016; 1,000 jobs ≈ $1.40; 1,000 jobs with full details ≈ $2.80. Jobs dropped as duplicates, jobs your filters leave out and jobs skipped by Only new jobs are never charged. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options and the scraper stops before it.

Use cases

• Recruiters and staffing agencies: daily feeds of new Swiss jobs by role and region, with the employer's apply link.
• Salary benchmarking: the sites' salary estimates by job title, canton, workload and contract type.
• Labour-market research: hiring volume by canton, industry, category, workload and language requirements.
• Job alerts and job boards: a scheduled run with Only new jobs feeding your own site, newsletter or Slack.
• Sales prospecting: which companies are hiring for what, with their website and size.

Tips

• Workload is the Swiss "Pensum": a job listed as 80–100% matches "Workload from 80" and "Workload up to 80".
• Each search lists at most 2,000 jobs (100 pages). For more, split by place, workload, contract type or publication date; the status message tells you when a search hit the limit.
• jobs.ch and jobup.ch share many ads. Keep both sites on for the widest coverage — the duplicates are saved once and never charged twice.
• Language changes the labels (contract types, categories, benefits, regions) and the job links. The description stays in the employer's language; with full details you also get the site's translation into the language you picked whenever the ad is written in another one.
• With Only new jobs and the default newest-first order, a search stops as soon as it reaches jobs saved last time, so a daily run reads about one page per search.

FAQ

Do I need a jobs.ch or jobup.ch account? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees. It never logs in and never applies to anything.

Where does the salary come from? Most Swiss employers don't publish a salary. jobs.ch and jobup.ch show their own salary estimate on each job page, based on salaries reported for similar jobs in the same canton (or all of Switzerland). The scraper returns that estimate with salaryType: "estimate", the basis (salaryRegion) and the number of salaries behind it (salarySampleSize). It needs Include full details.

Why are some jobs marked isSponsored? The sites show a few promoted ads at the top of the results. They are real jobs and are saved like any other (once), flagged so you can filter them.

What happens if a run is cut short? Everything saved so far stays in the dataset and the run still ends successfully with a message saying what happened. Raise the timeout or lower Max jobs for big runs.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If the sites refuse datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them.

Is it legal to scrape jobs.ch and jobup.ch? This Actor only collects publicly available data: job ads that anyone can see on jobs.ch and jobup.ch without an account, such as the title, company, place, workload, contract type and the ad itself. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Job ads describe roles, not people, but an ad sometimes names a contact person; the scraper removes those names, personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers from the description (company switchboards and role mailboxes such as jobs@ stay). You must follow privacy laws such as the Swiss FADP, GDPR and CCPA, as well as the sites' terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages jobs.ch and jobup.ch show to any visitor without logging in. It never touches accounts, saved jobs, alerts or applications, and it follows the sites' robots.txt.
