💰 Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 jobs ($0.0015 per saved job), charged only for jobs that are saved. Example: 1,000 jobs ≈ $1.50 plus platform usage.

Platform usage (compute and proxy traffic) is billed on top and is small. Measured on our test runs: about $0.001 per 100 UK jobs and about $0.012 per 100 German jobs (each German job page is opened). A typical 100-job run therefore costs about $0.15 to $0.16 in total. Set a maximum charge per run and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Hays? The actor reads publicly available job listings, the same pages anyone can open without an account. Recruiter contact details are personal data: make sure your use complies with the GDPR and similar laws, and with Hays' terms.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. No account or cookies are needed. By default the actor uses residential exits in each searched country (fastest, and the traffic per job is small). The datacenter proxy group works too.

How many jobs can I get? As many as a search has: there is no built-in cap. The UK site alone lists several thousand jobs. Use Maximum jobs to control the run size and cost.

Why is a field empty? Hays does not fill every field for every job. Salaries are often shown only as text (or not at all), postal codes are rare outside Germany, and the German, Austrian, Swiss and Danish sites do not offer part-time or flexible-working filters. Empty values are returned as null.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule daily runs (for example newest first with "posted within 1 day") and read the dataset through the API or integrations.

Can I paste a link from my browser? Yes. Search pages and single job pages from any supported Hays site work, for example https://www.hays.co.uk/job-detail/... or https://www.hays.de/jobsuche/stellenangebote-jobs?q=SAP.

⚠️ Limits

• Only the 25 Hays country sites listed above. The Czech, Swedish, Romanian, Mexican and Chinese Hays sites run on other systems and are not covered.
• company is Hays itself: Hays rarely names its client companies in listings.
• On non-DACH sites the location is matched by name first; when nothing matches, the actor searches around the place (radius) instead. If the place cannot be found in that country, the search returns nothing and the status says so.
• Part-time and flexible-working filters do not exist on hays.de, hays.at, hays.ch and hays.dk.
• Salary numbers (salaryMin/salaryMax) come from the job portal countries; DACH sites provide salary only as text.
