SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper

SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper

Scrape SmartRecruiters job listings from any company career site, up to a million per run. Every post comes with its title, location, department, and full job description. Filter by country or department. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

SmartRecruiters powers the career sites for thousands of employers, and browsing openings across dozens of companies by hand is a full-time job. This actor reads the public job feeds for any SmartRecruiters company identifier and returns matching listings in one flat table. Feed it the company slug from the URL, set optional country and department filters, and decide how many results you need.

Who uses it	What they scrape SmartRecruiters for
Talent intelligence analysts	Tracking hiring velocity and role expansion at target companies.

What it does

This Actor collects SmartRecruiters job listings from a single company career site and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🏢 Company-driven scraping: supply one company identifier slug and pull every public job on their SmartRecruiters career site.
• 🌍 Country filtering: pass an ISO alpha-2 country code and keep only roles posted in that country.
• 🏷️ Department filtering: narrow results to a specific department label the employer uses on its career site.
• 🔢 Hard cap on results: set a max items limit to control exactly how many listings the run returns.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "companyIdentifier": "BoschGroup",
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "companyIdentifier": "BoschGroup",
 "maxItems": 200
}

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

First confirm the company identifier is spelled and cased correctly. Then remove country and department filters. If the unfiltered run returns listings, the filter value may not match what the employer uses, or no jobs exist in that slice.

The actor fails immediately with an error.

Check that the company identifier field is not empty. The input requires a string. Also try a known-good slug like BoschGroup to confirm the identifier you are using is valid.

I receive fewer results than I expected.

The public feed shows only live postings; closed, filled, or unpublished roles are not included. If you see a listing on the human website but not in the output, it may be hosted on a different ATS or only visible after a JavaScript interaction the feed does not serve.

Country filter ignores my code.

Use the exact two-letter ISO lowercase code. Some employers populate the location field with city or region strings that the filter treats as a string match. Verify the format they use by running once without the filter and checking the location column.

Max items stops before collecting all jobs.

Raise the max items value. The actor respects the cap you set, and if the career site has more listings, it will stop at the number you entered.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is a SmartRecruiters company identifier?	The company slug in the career site URL. For careers.smartrecruiters.com/BoschGroup, the identifier is BoschGroup. It is case-sensitive, so copy it exactly from the address bar.
Can I scrape more than one company in a single run?	No, this actor processes one company identifier per run. To scrape multiple companies, start a separate run for each or use the actor inside an Apify workflow that loops over a list of slugs.
How do I filter jobs by country?	Use the country field with an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 lowercase code. For United States jobs, type us. For Germany, type de. The filter matches the country field SmartRecruiters returns for each posting.
Does the actor pull the full job description?	Yes. Every row includes the complete job body text as it appears on the public listing, along with title, location, department, and other metadata.
How many jobs can I scrape per run?	Set the max items field anywhere from 1 to 1,000,000. The actor stops once it reaches that number. If the career site has fewer listings than your cap, it returns everything available.
Do I need an account or API key for SmartRecruiters?	No. The actor reads the public job feed that powers the company’s own career site. No registration or authentication is required.
Can I get only new or changed listings?	The actor itself does not track changes between runs. You can use the dataset’s unique job ID and the Apify scheduler to diff two exports and isolate new, removed, or modified rows.
What export formats do I get?	Datasets export as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify console, or you can push results to your own storage via the API.
Does the filter apply before or after the max items cap?	Filters run as each job is read. The max items cap stops the run once that many matching records are collected, so you only count rows that pass the filter.
Why is my country filter returning no results?	Check the casing of the code. Use lowercase us, not US. Also confirm the company posts jobs in that country. Some global employers list every role under the headquarters country.
