## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### 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. |
| Recruitment marketplaces | Sourcing fresh listings to backfill job boards with direct employer posts. |
| Sales teams | Spotting accounts that are hiring for a newly funded department or product line. |
| Competitive intelligence researchers | Cataloguing the roles a rival is opening to infer strategy shifts. |

### 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.

### What you can do with SmartRecruiters data

**📊 Monitor hiring activity at a target account.**

A sales development team runs the actor weekly for a prospect’s company slug and watches for new department openings that signal budget.

**🌍 Build a country-filtered job feed for a niche board.**

A job board operator passes the country code to pull only Germany-based roles and feeds them into a regional aggregation site.

**🏷️ Track roles in a specific department.**

An analyst filters on the Engineering department label to measure how fast the employer is growing its technical headcount.

**⚖️ Compare job descriptions across employers.**

A compensation consultant scrapes listings from multiple companies to compare language, requirements, and posted salary bands.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Single identifier input** | One slug scrapes the whole career site; no page URLs or search terms needed. |
| **Country and department filters** | Prune results before they hit your dataset so you export only matching rows. |
| **Full job descriptions** | Each row includes the complete body text the employer wrote, not a snippet. |
| **Flat row output** | Every listing lands as one clean row for CSV, JSON, Excel or XML export. |

### How it compares

Two other Apify actors can extract SmartRecruiters listings as part of broader multi-ATS offerings; here is where they overlap and differ.

| Feature | ParseForge | Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby Job Scraper 💰 $0.95/1K | 💼 Career Site Jobs Scraper - 25+ ATS & RMP Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| SmartRecruiters company identifier input | Yes, single slug field | Yes | Yes |
| Country and department filters | Yes, alpha-2 country code and department label | Not listed | Not listed |
| Hard max items cap | Yes, 1 to 1,000,000 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Full job description body text | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Incremental new/changed tracking | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |
| Flat row export to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a SmartRecruiters company identifier slug, and run optional country and department filters while a max items cap stops the run once you have enough. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

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

A larger pull:

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

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0449 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $4.49 |
| 1,000 results | $44.90 |
| 10,000 results | $449.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [SmartRecruiters Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to SmartRecruiters through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### 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. |
