Prompt
What's the easiest way to collect job postings from multiple job boards?
Latest observation
The easiest way is usually to avoid scraping each job board manually and instead use one of these approaches:
1) Use a job data API or aggregation service
This is the simplest and most reliable option.
Examples:
- Adzuna API
- SerpAPI (Google Jobs results)
- RapidAPI job search APIs
- The Muse / Remotive / Arbeitnow APIs for specific sources
- Apify actors for scraping job boards without building everything yourself
Pros: fast to set up, less maintenance, fewer legal/anti-bot issues
Cons: cost, rate limits, coverage may vary
2) Use RSS feeds or built-in board APIs when available
Some boards or company career pages provide:
- RSS feeds
- JSON endpoints
- ATS feeds from Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, etc.
Pros: clean data, easy to automate
Cons: not all boards support it
3) Build a lightweight scraper for a few target boards
If you only need a small number of sites, use:
- Python + Requests + BeautifulSoup for static pages
- Playwright or Selenium for dynamic sites
Store results in:
- SQLite / PostgreSQL
- Google Sheets
- Airtable
Pros: full control
Cons: more maintenance, blocked requests, site changes
4) Use a no-code automation tool
Good if you want speed over engineering:
- Apify
- Browse AI
- Zapier / Make
- Airtable + automation
Pros: quickest setup
Cons: less flexible, can get expensive
Best practical recommendation
If your goal is “collect job postings from multiple job boards” with minimal effort:
- Start with a job search API or aggregator
- Add ATS feeds/API sources for companies you care about
- Only scrape sites directly when necessary
A simple architecture
- Source layer: API / scraper / RSS
- Normalizer: clean fields like title, company, location, salary, URL, date
- Deduplicator: remove duplicates across boards
- Storage: database or spreadsheet
- Scheduler: cron/GitHub Actions/Airflow to run daily
If you want, I can recommend the best option based on your stack:
- no-code
- Python
- JavaScript
- small budget
- large-scale collection
