Apify + n8n: Scrape Careers Pages to CSV Hiring Leads

Turn careers-page scraping into a ready-to-use CSV of hiring leads (Apify + n8n)

This n8n workflow uses Apify to scrape company careers pages, filters roles by your target sales/growth keywords, deduplicates confirmed matches, and exports the results as a downloadable careers-hiring-leads.csv file—so you can quickly build an actionable pipeline.

What this workflow does

• Manual execution: The workflow runs when you manually trigger it in n8n.
• Configure target search: You define the target company domains plus optional job-title and department keywords.
• Scrape via Apify: It runs an Apify careers-page scraping actor and returns structured job listings from attributable career pages or ATS boards.
• Confirm, filter, and deduplicate: The workflow keeps only confirmed matches, filters roles using your keywords, and deduplicates by company and job URL.
• Spreadsheet-safe output: It sanitizes fields to prevent spreadsheet formula injection.
• Export to CSV: It writes the remaining roles to careers-hiring-leads.csv (or outputs a “no_matching_jobs” placeholder row if nothing matches).

Use cases

• SaaS sales prospecting: Find companies hiring roles relevant to your sales and growth motion.
• Recruitment intelligence: Monitor departments and titles you care about across multiple domains.
• Automation engineers: Quickly deploy an Apify-powered careers scraper with keyword filtering and clean CSV export.

Technical details

• Platform: Requires a self-hosted n8n instance.
• Integration: Uses the community node @apify/n8n-nodes-apify (set, apify, convert to file).
• Workflow trigger: Manual trigger.
• Core processing: Keyword filtering, deduplication, and formula-injection sanitization before exporting CSV.

Setup tip: Create an Apify API credential in n8n, select it in the Apify actor step, and update domains/keywords and safe limits (e.g., concurrency and max jobs per company) before the next run.
