About Monster | Search | Details | Scraper (PPE) (Richest Output)

Need to pull structured job data from Monster.com for recruitment analysis or market research? This scraper is what I use. It reliably extracts the complete job listing details you actually need, like job titles, company info, and salary ranges, but goes further by grabbing the raw HTML description and normalizing location data into a clean, consistent format. That last bit is a huge time-saver for geo-analysis. You get the full picture: posting dates, employment types (full-time, contract, etc.), and direct apply URLs. Having the job ID is crucial for tracking specific listings over time. I've used this output for building competitive intelligence dashboards and sourcing pipelines, where having standardized location and salary data directly in a dataset eliminates hours of manual cleanup. It runs on Apify's platform, so you can schedule it or pipe the data straight into your own systems without managing infrastructure. If you're tired of piecing together job market insights from inconsistent sources, this gives you a clean, automated feed from one of the largest job boards.
