Workday Jobs Scraper

Extract public job postings from Workday-hosted company career sites, including titles, URLs, requisition IDs, locations, employment type, remote signals, categories, and descriptions.

Use it to build hiring intelligence datasets, monitor competitor job pages, track role demand, enrich sales triggers, or keep public Workday job feeds synced through the Apify API.

At a glance

• Workday career site export: Paste one or more public Workday career site URLs and save structured job rows.
• Keyword filtering: Send optional search text such as engineering, remote, sales, or analyst.
• Job detail enrichment: Include description text, exact locations, Workday IDs, employment type, and category fields.
• Company normalization: Let the actor infer a company name from the Workday tenant or set your own override.
• Automation-ready output: Download CSV/JSON/Excel exports or stream hiring data into dashboards, agents, CRMs, and warehouses.

What can it do?

Workday Jobs Scraper calls public Workday career-site endpoints, paginates through job listings, optionally fetches each job detail page, and saves one dataset row per public job posting.

• Extract public jobs: Save titles, URLs, company names, Workday IDs, requisition IDs, locations, and timestamps.
• Search within Workday: Use searchText to narrow a company career site by keyword.
• Include descriptions: Keep includeJobDetails enabled for description HTML, plain text, categories, and employment fields.
• Handle multiple companies: Process more than one Workday career site in the same run.
• Control spend and size: Use maxItems to cap saved jobs across all supplied start URLs.

Common workflows

• Competitive hiring intelligence: Track roles, locations, seniority patterns, and remote signals from public Workday sites.
• Recruiting market research: Export job titles and descriptions for skill, role, or location analysis.
• Sales trigger monitoring: Watch target accounts for hiring in relevant teams or regions.
• Talent analytics: Compare job families, employment types, and posting volume over time.
• Job board ingestion: Feed public Workday postings into downstream search, alerting, or enrichment systems.

What data can you extract?

The actor returns one dataset row per saved Workday job posting.

Tips for best results

• Use the public career site URL: Start from a Workday-hosted careers page, not a private applicant portal.
• Search narrowly first: Test with one company, one keyword, and maxItems: 25.
• Keep details on for analysis: includeJobDetails gives cleaner locations, descriptions, and IDs.
• Turn details off for speed: Use includeJobDetails: false for quick list-level monitoring.
• Use company overrides: Set companyName for cleaner dashboards when Workday tenant names are abbreviated.

Limits and practical notes

• The actor extracts public Workday-hosted job postings only.
• It does not access private applicant accounts, candidate data, saved applications, or login-gated pages.
• Some Workday tenants use custom site names, regions, or posting fields, so a few fields can be empty.
• remoteType is inferred from location text and may be empty when Workday does not label a role as remote or hybrid.
• Source career pages can change structure or availability over time.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available job postings from Workday-hosted career sites.

Use the data responsibly, follow Workday site terms, Apify's terms, and applicable employment, privacy, and anti-spam laws.

Do not use the actor to access private candidate data, applicant accounts, or login-protected workflows.

Support

If a run fails, returns no data, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page.

Please include the Apify run ID or run URL, input JSON, one example public URL, query, or input item, what you expected, and what the dataset returned. Small reproducible inputs make parsing or site-layout issues much faster to fix.

Need help?

Start with one Workday career site, one keyword, and a small maxItems value. If parsing fails, confirm the URL is a public Workday career site and not a login-protected applicant page.
