Personio Jobs Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Personio is Germany's leading HR/recruiting SaaS, and every company that uses it to publish open roles gets a career page at https://{company}.jobs.personio.de. Behind that page sits a public, unauthenticated XML feed (legacy workzag-jobs branding) that lists every currently-open position for that employer — job title, office, department, employment type, seniority, years of experience, keywords, and the full job description split into named sections.

This Actor walks that feed for any list of company subdomains you supply, resolves full career-page URLs down to the bare subdomain automatically, and emits one normalised, Pydantic-validated row per open position. It absorbs the retry/backoff and per-company failure isolation this feed needs in production so one bad subdomain never derails the rest of your run.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ We rotate browser fingerprints — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox TLS handshakes so the target sees a browser, not a bare Python client.
• 🔁 We retry with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per company, Retry-After honoured.
• 🌐 We rotate Apify Proxy sessions on every block — fresh session ID, fresh exit IP.
• 🧱 Per-company failure isolation — one company's request failure never stops the rest of the run; the final status message reports exactly how many of N companies returned data.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable (company, position_id) keys, JSON / CSV / Excel export straight from the Apify Console.
• 📝 Flexible company input — a bare subdomain ("chrono24") or a full https://{company}.jobs.personio.de URL, with or without the trailing /xml path, resolves the same way.
• 📄 Optional full HTML descriptions — keep the plain-text description always, or opt into the raw HTML sections for richer downstream rendering.
• 💰 You pay only for results that land. No data → no charge (only the small actor-start warm-up fee).

Use cases

• DACH-region recruiter pipelines — pull every open role across a portfolio of German, Austrian, and Swiss employers into one normalised feed alongside teamtailor-jobs-scraper, workday-jobs-scraper, and the rest of this fleet's ATS coverage.
• Hiring-intent signal for sales and BD teams — track headcount growth, new-market entry, and tech-stack changes visible in job descriptions as a lead-scoring input.
• Job-board aggregators — fold Personio-hosted postings into a multi-ATS aggregator alongside Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and Teamtailor feeds.
• Competitive intelligence — monitor a competitor's open roles over time to infer strategic priorities (which office is scaling, which department is hiring hardest).
• Academic / labour-market research — a structured, machine-readable sample of DACH-region job postings for wage- or skills-demand studies.
• HR-tech tooling — build a Personio-compatible job board mirror, alert bot, or Slack digest from the same normalised rows.

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.

Limitations

• Personio only. This Actor does not cover Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Teamtailor, or BambooHR career sites — see multi-ats-jobs-scraper, workday-jobs-scraper, smartrecruiters-jobs-scraper, workable-jobs-scraper, and teamtailor-jobs-scraper for those, together an "ATS Jobs Intel" suite.
• Bare subdomain only. Custom-domain career sites (e.g. a company's own careers.example.com even if it's Personio-powered behind the scenes) are not resolvable — supply the {company}.jobs.personio.de form.
• No expiry field. Personio's feed doesn't expose a validThrough/expiry date — only currently-open postings appear at all; there's no way to tell how long a listing has been live beyond created_at.
• One row per posting. additional_offices is returned as a list column on that same row, not exploded into extra rows per office.
• job_url is a convenience link. It's constructed from the feed's position_id, not independently verified by loading every page — in the rare case a company's job pages differ, treat it as a best-effort deep link.
• Live-only. No historical or removed postings — only what the feed currently returns.
