Capabilities

Extract the complete labour market graph

Our Simplyhired scraper handles search pagination, dynamic DOM structures, and rate limits to deliver clean, normalised job market datasets.

Full Job Description Extraction

Extract raw HTML or clean text for the entire job description, including qualifications, responsibilities, and benefits lists.

ATS Redirect Resolution

Simplyhired routes outgoing clicks through internal tracking URLs. We resolve these chains to capture the final applicant tracking system (ATS) URL.

Salary Estimate Normalisation

Extract both employer-provided compensation and SimplyHired estimated salaries, normalised into min/max fields with currency and period.

Company Metadata

Capture company name, industry, rating, review count, and active job volume directly from the SERP and company profile pages.

Multi-Region Support

Target simplyhired.com, simplyhired.co.uk, simplyhired.ca, and other regional domains with localised search parameters.

Remote Work Classification

Accurately flag remote, hybrid, and strictly on-site roles based on location metadata and description text parsing.

Posting Timestamp Parsing

Convert relative timestamps (e.g., '3 days ago') into absolute ISO 8601 timestamps based on the crawl execution time.

Sponsored Listing Detection

Differentiate organic job postings from sponsored placements to analyse employer advertising spend behaviour.

Daily Diffs & Deduplication

Receive only new, updated, or removed listings. We hash job IDs and content to prevent duplicate records in your warehouse.

Under the hood

How our Simplyhired pipeline handles the hard parts

Job aggregators deploy aggressive rate limiting and complex redirect chains. Here is how we maintain extraction stability.

Rate limiting
Residential proxy rotation

Simplyhired heavily throttles datacenter IPs. We route all search requests through residential ISP proxies, rotating IPs dynamically to maintain high concurrency without triggering blocks.

Redirect chains
Automated ATS URL resolution

Job links on Simplyhired are masked by internal tracking redirects. Our pipeline follows these HTTP 301/302 chains to extract the final destination URL (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse, Lever).

DOM instability
Resilient selector strategies

Job boards frequently alter CSS classes to break scrapers. We use XPath structural patterns and text-based heuristics to ensure fields like salary and job type are extracted even when class names change.

Deduplication
Cross-run hash indexing

Because Simplyhired aggregates from multiple sources, identical jobs often appear multiple times. We generate deterministic hashes based on title, company, and location to deduplicate records before delivery.

Pagination limits
Search space partitioning

Simplyhired caps search results at a specific page depth. For broad queries, we automatically partition the search space by location radius and date filters to extract the complete corpus.

Applications

Who uses Simplyhired data — and how

Teams across industries use simplyhired.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Labour Market Analysis

Economic researchers and hedge funds track job posting volume by sector and region as a leading indicator of economic health.

02
Salary Benchmarking

HR tech platforms aggregate SimplyHired estimated salaries to build compensation models and advise clients on competitive pay rates.

03
B2B Lead Generation

Sales teams monitor new job postings for specific roles (e.g., 'VP of Engineering') to identify companies with active budgets and immediate needs.

04
Competitor Intelligence

Corporate strategy teams track competitor hiring velocity and role types to infer product roadmaps and expansion plans.

05
Job Board Aggregation

Niche industry job boards backfill their inventory by extracting relevant postings from generalist aggregators like Simplyhired.

06
Real Estate Planning

Commercial real estate firms analyse remote vs on-site hiring trends to forecast office space demand in specific metropolitan areas.

Why DataFlirt

"Simplyhired aggregates millions of job postings into a single index, but extracting that normalised labour market data requires dedicated infrastructure."

Job boards frequently alter DOM structures and deploy rate limits to prevent automated extraction. DataFlirt handles the proxy rotation, session management, and CSS selector maintenance so your team receives structured labour market signals without managing the underlying collection infrastructure.

Common questions.

About simplyhired.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Simplyhired legal?

Scraping publicly available job postings is generally permissible under applicable law, supported by precedent such as hiQ v. LinkedIn. We extract only public, non-authenticated data and do not bypass login screens or extract personal user information.

How do you handle duplicate job postings?

Simplyhired aggregates from multiple sources, meaning the same job can appear multiple times. We generate a unique hash based on the job title, company name, and location to filter out duplicates before delivery.

Can you resolve the actual application URL?

Yes. Simplyhired often masks the destination URL with an internal redirect. Our pipeline follows these HTTP redirects to extract the final ATS URL (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse) where the application is hosted.

How often can the data be updated?

We support daily, weekly, or custom schedules. For most labour market analysis use cases, a daily sync provides the optimal balance of freshness and compute efficiency.

Do you extract SimplyHired estimated salaries?

Yes. When an employer does not provide a salary, Simplyhired often displays an estimated range. We extract this data and flag the source type so you can differentiate between employer-provided and platform-estimated compensation.

Can I target specific countries or regions?

Yes. We can configure the pipeline to target specific regional domains (e.g., simplyhired.co.uk) or apply strict location parameters within the US site to isolate specific metropolitan areas.

Can I get a sample dataset?

Yes. We provide a sample extraction based on your specific keywords and locations during the scoping phase, allowing you to validate the schema and data quality before committing.
