Tips

• Use residential proxies for best results -- StepStone has strong bot protection (Akamai)
• Start with category pages like https://www.stepstone.be/jobs/it for sector-specific scraping
• Keep maxResults reasonable (100-500) to balance speed and completeness

Cost estimate

This actor uses approximately 5-10 compute units per 100 results due to browser-based scraping. At standard Apify pricing, that's roughly $0.25-0.50 per 100 jobs.

Limitations

• StepStone uses aggressive bot protection (Akamai); residential proxies are strongly recommended
• Salary data is only available when employers choose to disclose it (roughly 30-40% of listings)
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly
