Workday Careers Site Job Listings Extractor

Workday Careers Site Job Listings Extractor

Workday powers the careers sites of thousands of employers, all at URLs ending in myworkdayjobs.com or myworkdaysite.com. Point this actor at any of them and get every open role as structured records: exact posting dates, requisition IDs, all locations, job family, remote or hybrid status, time type, published salary ranges, full descriptions and apply links. No login, no API key and no proxy setup.

What this actor does

• Works with any public Workday careers site - paste a careers URL, a direct job URL, or use a tenant name (its career-site ID is discovered automatically when omitted). Both myworkdayjobs.com and myworkdaysite.com URL families are supported.
• Filters at the source by keyword, location, job family and remote work, then applies posting-date and start-date cutoffs.
• Enriches every job with the full HTML and plain-text description, exact posting date, employment type, work model, every location the role is open to, and a published salary range when the employer states one.
• Reads the whole site - pages through all results, removes duplicates across pages and URLs, and splits large sites by job family, then by one small secondary facet such as time type or location when one family is still over Workday's per-query limit.
• Empty fields are omitted - a missing salary, remote type or end date is omitted from that job's record instead of being sent empty.

FAQ

Does this work with any company that uses Workday? Yes. Any public careers site on myworkdayjobs.com or myworkdaysite.com works the same way. Paste that careers URL, or use tenant with an optional site.

How do I find the tenant and career-site ID? Both are in the careers URL. In https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite, the tenant is nvidia, the region is wd5 and the site is NVIDIAExternalCareerSite. The site ID is case-sensitive, but you can omit it: the actor discovers the tenant's first public site from its robots.txt.

Why did I get fewer jobs than the company lists? Workday returns at most about 2,000 results for a single search. The actor splits a capped site by job family, and splits a single large family again by one small secondary facet (usually time type) so most sites are read fully. If one slice is still above the cap, narrow the run with searchText, locations or postedWithin and run it more than once.

Why are some fields missing from a job? Employers publish different details. Salary ranges, remote or hybrid labels, end dates, logos and similar jobs appear only when the posting includes them. Missing fields are omitted, never sent as null.

Why is jobFamily missing on some sites? A few employers do not publish a job-family/category filter at all. For those sites there is no reliable source for the field, so it is omitted rather than guessed. Setting includeJobFamily to false also omits it, including on large sites that are split by job family to get past the 2,000-result limit.

Which salary range is used when a posting lists several? When the posting labels ranges by location, the actor uses the range that matches the job's primary location. If no location-specific range applies, it uses the posting's typical/base range. Values are never estimated.

What is the difference between scrapeDetails on and off? With it on, each job's public page is read for the full description, the exact posting date, employment type, work model and every location. With it off, you get the fast listing fields: title, location, requisition ID, posting age and URL. A 30+ Days Ago posting has no exact date until details are on.

How do I scrape several companies in one run? Paste all of their careers URLs and set maxItems large enough to cover the total. Jobs are returned in URL order, so a site with more jobs than maxItems can use the whole cap; split the run by company if you need equal coverage.

Why did a very old date cutoff return fewer jobs than expected? Workday has no server-side date filter, so dates are checked on the postings the site returns, newest first. To avoid reading an entire large site for a sparse cutoff, the actor stops after 30 pages with no match. Narrow the run with searchText, locations or jobFamilies so the matching roles are reached sooner.

Can I collect only new jobs? Schedule the actor and compare requisitionId (or externalPath) between runs. The actor returns the current postings each time; it does not keep state between runs.

Does it return localized job text? Job titles and descriptions are the employer's own text. Workday's public API serves the site's default language and ignores locale headers or query parameters, so the actor does not offer a language switch.

Does it work with remote-only searches? Yes. remoteOnly keeps postings the employer explicitly marks remote. Hybrid and onsite postings are excluded.

Do I need a proxy, login or API key? No. The actor reads public careers pages and works without any of them. Leave the proxy setting off unless you need a specific connection setup.

Why is hiringOrganization sometimes a legal entity name? That is the employer name Workday publishes on the posting. Some companies use a legal subsidiary name rather than the consumer brand. When a fetched posting publishes no organization name, the field is omitted instead of guessing a brand; listing-only runs use the Workday tenant slug.

Is this affiliated with Workday or the employers whose jobs it returns? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads each company's own public careers site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Workday, Inc. or any employer listed.
