ADP Jobs Scraper

Extract public job postings from ADP Workforce Now career centers on workforcenow.adp.com. This jobs and recruiting data scraper turns public ADP career-center URLs into structured job rows for recruiting intelligence, job-board backfills, market research, and hiring monitors.

At a glance

• Primary job: Collect current public ADP Workforce Now job postings without browser automation or credentials.
• Input: Public ADP recruitment page URLs or public ADP job-requisitions API URLs containing cid.
• Output: One dataset row per job with title, requisition IDs, location, dates, job URL, tenant identifiers, and optional raw ADP JSON.
• Best for: Recruiting intelligence, competitor hiring tracking, job-board sourcing, lead generation, and scheduled monitoring.

Common workflows

• Backfill ADP-hosted openings: Export all current jobs from an employer's public ADP career center.
• Monitor hiring changes: Schedule repeat runs for the same ADP tenants and compare dataset exports over time.
• Feed recruiting systems: Send requisition IDs, job URLs, titles, and locations into spreadsheets, CRMs, data warehouses, or automation tools.
• Validate source URLs: Keep emitErrorItems enabled to receive stable diagnostic rows for missing cid, unsupported URLs, empty tenants, or unexpected responses.

Input recipes

• Small smoke test: Use the default ADP URL with maxItems: 20 and includeRaw: true.
• Direct API URL: Paste a public ADP job-requisitions URL and set includeRaw: false for a compact dataset.
• Multi-company monitor: Add several public ADP career-center URLs to startUrls, keep maxItems bounded, and schedule the run.

Tips for best results

• Use public ADP URLs: Open the URL in a private browser window first. If the job list is public, the Actor can usually process it.
• Keep examples small: Start with maxItems: 20 until you confirm the output shape for a tenant.
• Keep raw data when exploring: Leave includeRaw: true for first runs so you can inspect source fields beyond the normalized columns.
• Check diagnostics: If a row has itemType=error, inspect errorCode and errorMessage before retrying.

Limits and responsible use

This Actor collects public job postings only. It does not log in, submit applications, access applicant profiles, retrieve candidate data, or use employer/admin sessions. Make sure your use follows ADP's terms, the target employer's terms, and applicable laws.

API usage

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor("fetch_cat/adp-jobs-scraper").call({
  startUrls: [{ url: "https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?ccId=19000101_000001&cid=070b2b3d-d077-4d73-b340-6055055056a6&lang=en_US" }],
  maxItems: 20,
  includeRaw: true,
  emitErrorItems: true
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/adp-jobs-scraper").call(run_input={
