CareerBuilder Jobs Scraper

Collect job listings from CareerBuilder. Search by keyword and location or paste links, then get a clean, flat record per job: title, hiring company with its profile, location with coordinates, salary range, employment type, apply link, posting dates, and the full job description.

Why this scraper

• Rich, flat records: 40+ fields per job, including the hiring company's profile (logo, website, size, description), map coordinates, salary min/max with currency and unit, remote/onsite, and the direct apply link.
• Two ways to start: search by keyword and location with a date sort, or paste search-result and job-detail URLs.
• Full descriptions on demand: turn on detail enrichment to attach each job's complete description.
• Multi-search: give several keywords and several locations, and every combination is searched.
• Optional export: pipe results straight into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify via MCP connectors.

  "mode": "search",
  "queries": ["software engineer"],
  "location": ["New York, NY"],

  "fetchDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Paste URLs:

{
  "mode": "url",
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.careerbuilder.com/jobs-registered-nurse-in-chicago,il",

  "maxItems": 20
}

Input

Field	Description
mode	search (keywords + locations) or url (paste links).
queries	Job titles or keywords to search (search mode).
location	Optional locations as City, ST or a city name; each keyword is searched in each location.
sortBy	relevance or date (most recent first).
startUrls	CareerBuilder search-result or job-detail URLs (url mode).
fetchDetails	Attach each job's full description.
maxItems	Total jobs to return (the run cap).
resumeFromRunId	Continue one specific interrupted run — skips jobs already collected by that run/dataset.
incrementalMode	Recurring monitoring of the same search: only NEW/UPDATED/REAPPEARED jobs return by default.
stateKey	Name a monitoring campaign, or leave empty for an automatic key derived from the search + detail settings.
emitUnchanged	Also return unchanged jobs (incremental mode). Off by default — returns and bills extra rows.
emitExpired	Also return jobs no longer found since the last run (incremental mode). Off by default, and only produced after a complete, non-resumed, non-capped scan.
proxy	Connection settings (see below).
mcpConnectors	Optionally pipe results into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify.

Resume & recurring updates

Two different features, both optional:

• Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one specific interrupted crawl: paste a previous run or dataset ID and this run skips every job already collected there. No state is kept between unrelated runs.
• Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for scheduling this same search daily/weekly and getting only what changed. The actor remembers its own baseline for the search (keyed by stateKey, or an automatic key derived from the search/URL and detail settings) and classifies every job as NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, or EXPIRED. By default only NEW/UPDATED/REAPPEARED jobs return; turn on emitUnchanged/emitExpired to also get those (both return — and bill — extra rows). EXPIRED jobs are only produced after a run that scanned its full search with no cap hit and no Resume.
• Output then carries changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt, and lastSeenAt. Change detection ignores description (only present with detail enrichment on, so it can't be compared across runs where that setting differs) and dateRecency (a relative-to-now label like "3 days ago" that drifts daily on its own); datePosted, salary, and every other field are real data and do trigger UPDATED.

Reviews

CareerBuilder does not expose company reviews or ratings on its job data, so review fields are not part of the output.

Connection

CareerBuilder serves the United States market. For reliable results, use Apify Residential proxy with country = US. On datacenter connections or the free tier, results may be less reliable, so residential is recommended.

Plan Requirement

This actor runs on any Apify plan, including the free tier.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe every job straight into the apps you already use via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize a connector under Apify then Settings then API & Integrations, then select it in the mcpConnectors input. Notion gets a page per job; Linear, Airtable, and Apify get a best-effort write. Leave it empty to skip.

Pricing

You are billed per run start, per job returned, and per job enriched with its full description (only when detail fetching is on). See the Store listing for current rates.
