Seek Jobs Scraper

Jobs & Hiring

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A web scraper that extracts job listings from Seek for Australia and New Zealand, returning structured job metadata and content for each posting. It collects title, full description (HTML and plain-text), short teaser and employer highlight bullets; employer identity and company profile link; suburb-level location plus broader area/region and country code; advertised salary or hourly rate as published; work type and work arrangement (remote/hybrid/on-site); Seek classification and sub-classification; exact UTC posting date; application phone number when provided; and the direct job URL. The connector supports keyword and location queries, filters for work type, salary range and recency, optional inclusion of full job descriptions to control run speed, automatic pagination and resume across runs, and operates without login, cookies or an account.
