BuiltIn Jobs Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

BuiltIn (builtin.com) is a tech/startup job-listing aggregator that pulls in postings from thousands of employers — not a single company's own careers page. This Actor scrapes builtin.com/jobs and its keyword/category/city filter variants into structured rows: title, company, location(s), work mode (remote/hybrid/onsite), salary band, seniority, category tags, top skills, and a description snippet. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation and Apify Proxy rotation.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not Python.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when the target pushes back, we slow down instead of getting banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Recruiting-agency sourcing — surface fresh tech/startup roles across many employers in one feed, filterable by keyword, city, or category.
• Talent-market research — track salary bands, seniority mix, and remote/hybrid/onsite split for a given role or region.
• Sales intel for HR-tech vendors — spot companies actively hiring for a target function as a buying signal.
• Competitive hiring watch — monitor a category or city's job volume and salary trends over time.
• Job-board aggregation — feed a normalized BuiltIn slice into a broader multi-source job dataset.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.
