GulfTalent Scraper

Search and scrape job listings from GulfTalent.com — the Middle East's leading professional job site. Search by keyword, category, country or city (or paste any listing URL) and get clean, structured rows: job title, company, location, structured salary with USD conversion, industry, role, employment type, posted/expiry dates, the full description, plus any emails and phone numbers found in the ad. One complete row per job. No browser.

Why use this scraper

• Search built in — keyword(s), category, country and city inputs; no URL hunting. Unknown keywords automatically fall back to a filtered browse, so every query returns what exists.
• Complete rows, not stubs — every job's detail page is fetched and merged in, so each row already has company, location, salary, industry, role, employment type and the full description.
• Structured salary + USD — 16000 - 20500 AED becomes salaryMin/salaryMax/salaryCurrency/salaryPeriod plus monthly-USD equivalents (Gulf currencies are USD-pegged, so the conversion is exact).
• Contacts for free — extractedEmails[] and extractedPhones[] pulled from every description; optional enrichEmails adds verified employer contact emails on top.
• Incremental (diff) runs — schedule it and later runs emit only NEW/UPDATED jobs; already-seen jobs are skipped before their detail page is even fetched, so you only pay for the diff.
• Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook, out of the box. Pair with incremental mode for daily new-job alerts.
• Result filters — must/exclude keywords, posted-date window, max age, minimum monthly USD salary, Easy-Apply only. Filtered-out jobs are never billed.
• All Gulf markets — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman — one country or all six in one run.
• Pure HTTP, no browser — fast and cheap; no Playwright, no headless Chrome.

What it does

Give it a search (keyword / category / country / city) and/or GulfTalent listing URLs. It resolves the search to GulfTalent's own listing pages, paginates through the results, fetches each job's detail page, applies your filters, and emits one complete dataset row per job — up to Maximum items matching jobs (the cap counts kept rows, not scanned ones).

Supported inputs

Input	Example
Keyword search	query: "accountant" — or "accountant, auditor" for multiple
Category browse	category: "sales" (18 categories in the dropdown)
Country	country: "uae" — or all for every Gulf market
City	location: "Dubai"
Listing URLs	gulftalent.com/uae/jobs, /jobs/category/sales, any on-site search URL

Use cases

• Job alerts & monitoring — incremental mode + Telegram/Slack/Discord webhook on a schedule = "new Gulf jobs in my niche, every morning".
• Gulf labour-market & salary research — structured USD salaries across countries, industries and roles.
• Lead generation — company names, emails/phones from ads, plus (with enrichEmails) verified employer contact emails.
• Recruitment & sourcing — track who's hiring, for what role, at what salary.
• Aggregation & job boards — pull fresh Middle East postings into your own product.

How it works

1. You enter a keyword/category/country/city (or paste listing URLs).
2. The actor resolves them to GulfTalent listing pages (probing and falling back automatically), paginates, and collects each job's detail URL.
3. It fetches every job's detail page, normalises it into one flat row (structured salary, ISO dates, extracted contacts), applies your filters and incremental diff, and pushes it to the dataset.
4. If configured, it posts a digest to your Telegram/Slack/Discord/webhook.

FAQ

How do I search by keyword? Set query (e.g. "finance manager"). The actor uses GulfTalent's own title pages; if a keyword has no dedicated page it automatically browse-scans the selected market and keeps only matching jobs.

Do I get the salary? Yes, when the employer publishes it — both the original text and the structured salaryMin/Max/Currency/Period plus exact monthly-USD equivalents. minSalaryUsd filters on it.

How do the diff runs work? Turn on incrementalMode and run on a schedule. Already-seen jobs are skipped before their detail page is fetched, so later runs only pay for genuinely new jobs (incrementalStatus: "NEW"). detectUpdates re-checks known jobs for edits; emitExpired reports jobs that disappeared.

Can it message me the results? Yes — set a Telegram bot token + chat id, a Slack/Discord webhook, or a generic webhook URL. With notifyOnlyNew (default) and incremental mode, you get pinged only about new jobs.

Is the full description included? Yes — every row includes the complete job description from the detail page. Use descriptionMaxLength to trim it, or compact for core fields only.

Do I need a proxy? No — the actor ships with a built-in proxy. The proxy field is only an override.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/gulftalent-scraper).

Purpose: Searches and scrapes GulfTalent.com job listings (keyword/category/country/city or listing URLs), fetching each detail page so every row is complete — with structured USD salaries, ISO dates, extracted contacts, incremental diff runs and webhook notifications.

Minimal input:

{
    "query": "accountant",
    "country": "uae",
    "maxItems": 25,
    "compact": true
}

Output: one row per job — portal, jobId, url, country, jobTitle, company, location, salary, salaryMin/Max/Currency/Period, salaryMinUsd/MaxUsd, companyIndustry, jobRole, employmentType, postedDate(Iso), validThrough, easyApply, extractedEmails, extractedPhones, description, details. compact: true returns core fields only (ideal for LLM context). With enrichEmails on, adds contactEmail and contactWebsite.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• query accepts a string, comma-separated list, or JSON array; unknown keywords fall back to a filtered browse automatically (no error).
• maxItems caps KEPT rows (default 1000) — always set a small value for test runs; filters (includeKeywords, minSalaryUsd, maxAgeDays, …) drop rows before they are stored or billed.
• incrementalMode: true + a stable stateKey makes repeat calls return only new jobs — the cheapest way to poll.
• compact: true and descriptionMaxLength control payload size for LLM contexts.
• No anti-bot on GulfTalent; the actor ships with a built-in proxy, so the proxy override is optional.
• Billing: pay-per-event — see the Pricing tab on the actor page; enrichEmails is billed per email found and never charged for misses.
