Source candidates and job market
data at scale
ApifyForge helps recruiters and talent teams source candidates and job market data by scraping job boards, company career pages, and professional directories. Best for building pipeline lists of 100-5,000 roles or candidates. Less suitable when you need verified personal contact info or ATS integration out of the box. Costs $0.05 per listing.
The problem
Recruiters spend 30-40% of their time on manual sourcing — searching job boards, copying candidate details, and tracking job market trends. LinkedIn Recruiter costs $800+/month per seat and still requires manual data extraction.
The solution
Apify actors extract structured data from job boards, company career pages, and professional networks. Get job listings with salary ranges, company details with employee counts and tech stacks, and candidate profiles — all as clean data ready for your ATS or sourcing workflow.
How it works
Define your search criteria
What roles are you sourcing for? Which locations, industries, and company sizes? Which job boards and platforms are your candidates on?
Choose data sources
Pick actors for your target platforms: Indeed, Glassdoor, company career pages, or industry-specific job boards. Check the Compliance Scanner for each platform before scraping.
Extract and structure
Run actors to extract job listings, company profiles, or candidate data. Each record comes with structured fields: title, company, location, salary range, requirements, contact info.
Feed your pipeline
Export to CSV for spreadsheet analysis, or use integration templates to push data directly into your ATS, Google Sheets, or Airtable.
