Google Search Careers Scraper

Alphabet's own
job board, as rows.

This one reads Google's careers site itself - not an aggregator. Each row is a live vacancy with its full description, its minimum and preferred qualifications, its responsibilities and a direct application link. Submit a search term or paste a filtered careers URL.

One employer,
in real depth.

This is the opposite trade from the jobs vertical: one company instead of the whole market, but far more of each posting.

The Google Search Jobs Scraper reads Google's aggregated jobs panel - many employers, a short row each. This service reads Alphabet's own careers site. You get one employer group, but each row carries the full job description, the minimum and preferred qualifications and the responsibilities as written, which is enough to analyse rather than merely count.

"One employer" is doing some work in that sentence. The company column is not always Google: across our 131 rows it also returned YouTube, Waymo, Verily Life Sciences, Wing and GFiber. The careers site covers the Alphabet group, so a sweep gets the subsidiaries too - usually a bonus, occasionally a surprise if you assumed otherwise.

Input is flexible in a way the reference does not mention. A plain term like job works, and so does a filtered careers URL pasted straight in - we ran https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/?location=Los Angeles, CA, USA and got its result set back as rows. That is observed behaviour from our own runs rather than a documented contract, so verify it on the free tier before you build a pipeline that depends on it.

How it works

A term or a URL,
then rows.

The same shape as the other search verticals - a list of queries, a locale, and how deep to go.

  1. STEP 1Sign in to the platform.
  2. STEP 2Open the Google Search Careers Scraper.
  3. STEP 3Paste search terms or filtered careers URLs - up to 1,000 per run.
  4. STEP 4Set language and country.
  5. STEP 5Choose how many pages per query.
  6. STEP 6Pick your format and click Get Data.

Pages per query defaults to one page, so a run stays modest unless you deliberately go deeper.

Data dictionary

Ten columns,
measured, not assumed.

This is the xlsx header row, identical across all 11 runs, in sheet order. The fill rates below are counted over the 131 rows those runs returned - covering 68 distinct job titles and 52 distinct locations.

query
The term or careers URL you submitted, echoed on the row. Present on all 131.
title
The job title, e.g. Software Engineer, Early Careers, PhD, Cloud AI. Present on all 131, with 68 distinct values.
company
The hiring entity. Present on all 131 - and not always Google. See the note below.
location
Where the role sits. Present on all 131. A role open in several places puts them all in this one cell, separated by | - one row in our sample listed 17.
apply_url
A direct link to the application, always https:// and always carrying a jobId= parameter. Present on 104 of 131.
posted
The posting date as a plain ISO date - 2026-06-08. Present on all 131, and matched YYYY-MM-DD in every single one.
qualifications
The requirements as written, multi-line. Every populated cell opens with Minimum qualifications:, and most also carry a Preferred qualifications: block. Present on 104 of 131.
responsibilities
What the role actually involves, as written. Present on 104 of 131.
description
The full posting body - a median of about 1,600 characters. Present on all 131.
job_id
Published here because the column exists; do not plan a key around it.

Nine of the ten columns carried data; one never did. Six are present on every row - query, title, company, location, posted and description. Three are present on 104 of 131. job_id was empty throughout. The most useful thing in this table is not a fill rate but a pattern: those three partial columns are the same 104 rows every time, which the note below explains.

Before you build

Four things
an importer should know.

All four come from reading the 131 rows rather than the reference, which is why they are worth the space.

Three columns arrive as a set, or not at all

apply_url, qualifications and responsibilities are each present on 104 of 131 rows - and it is the same 104. Rows carrying only one or two of the three: zero. So treat them as a single optional block: either a row has the full detail or it has the summary fields only. A single presence check on one of them tells you about all three.

posted is a real date, which is rarer than it sounds

All 131 rows matched YYYY-MM-DD exactly - no "3 days ago", no locale-formatted strings, no mixture. You can parse it directly and sort on it without a normalisation step. Our sample spanned 2025-07-30 to 2026-07-13, so postings stay listed well beyond a few weeks.

location is a list hiding in a string

A single role open in several offices puts every one of them in the same cell, joined by | . One row in our sample carried 17 locations that way. Split on the pipe before you group by city, or your counts will treat each combination as its own place - and a role open in 17 cities will read as one obscure location nobody hires in.

company is the Alphabet group, not just Google

Across 131 rows we saw six employers: Google on 108, then GFiber, Verily Life Sciences, Wing, Waymo and YouTube. If you are counting "Google headcount signals" you probably want to filter; if you are mapping Alphabet's overall hiring, you already have what you need.

Where the depth of these rows matters more than their breadth.

Candidate research

Read what the bar actually is

The qualifications column is the part candidates guess at. Pull every posting for a role family and the minimum-versus-preferred split stops being folklore: you can see which requirements are genuinely fixed, which are aspirational, and how the wording shifts between levels.

Compensation & levelling

Map how one employer describes seniority

With the full description on every row, titles stop being the only signal. Sweeping the whole board shows how responsibilities scale across levels for the same job family - a far better input to a levelling framework than a title ladder copied off a blog.

People ops · Rewards
Competitive intelligence

Watch where Alphabet is investing

Because posted is a real date and the subsidiaries are included, repeat runs turn into a time series. A cluster of new roles at Waymo or Verily in one region is a strategic signal that shows up here weeks before it shows up in the news.

The legal bit

Is it legal to collect
job postings?

Short answer: yes. This reads a public careers site, and the thing being read is published in order to attract applicants.

A careers page is public. Anyone can browse Alphabet's openings without an account. Collecting publicly visible listings for research is long-established practice, and as long as the data is publicly available and the process doesn't disrupt the site there are no federal laws prohibiting it.

Job postings sit unusually comfortably here. A vacancy exists in order to be found - the employer published it precisely so people would see it. There is no login, no paywall, and nothing is applied to on your behalf. The subject of a posting is a role at a company, not a named individual, so this is company data rather than personal data.

Google's terms restrict automated access, so this remains a terms question. We touch nothing behind a login, run no third-party trackers on the data layer, and your exports auto-delete after 30 days.

Common questions

Things people
ask before signing up.

The questions we hear most. Anything else? Talk to us - humans, not bots, write the answers.

What columns will the export contain?+
Ten: query, title, company, location, apply_url, posted, qualifications, responsibilities, description and job_id. That is the header row of real Livescraper careers exports, identical across 11 runs. Six are populated on every row; apply_url, qualifications and responsibilities on 104 of our 131; and job_id was empty on all of them.
How is this different from the Google Search Jobs Scraper?+
Depth versus breadth. The jobs vertical aggregates many employers and gives you a short row each. This reads Alphabet's own careers site: one employer group, but every row carries the full description, the qualifications and the responsibilities. Use jobs to survey a market, and careers to study one board properly.
Is every row a Google job?+
No. The careers site covers the Alphabet group, and across our 131 rows the company column held six values - Google on 108 of them, plus GFiber, Verily Life Sciences, Wing, Waymo and YouTube. Filter on that column if you only want one of them.
Can I paste a filtered careers URL instead of a search term?+
It worked in our runs - we submitted careers URLs carrying location and remote filters and got their result sets back as rows. The published reference only describes plain text queries, so this is observed behaviour rather than a documented contract. Try your own URL on the free 500 rows before depending on it.
What format is the posted date?+
A plain ISO date such as 2026-06-08. All 131 of our rows matched YYYY-MM-DD, with no relative strings like "3 days ago" mixed in, so you can parse and sort on it without normalising first.
Why do some rows have no application link?+
104 of our 131 rows carried apply_url, and the 27 that did not were also missing qualifications and responsibilities - the three always appeared together, never partially. So a row is either a full record or a summary one. Check any one of the three and you know about the other two.
How much does it cost?+
The first 500 rows on a new account are free and one-time; after that it's $0.002 per row - about $2 per 1,000 results - pay-as-you-go with no subscription. Credits don't expire and there's no monthly reset.

Google Search Careers Scraper - one job board, in full detail

Most job data is thin by design. An aggregator shows a title, a company and a location, because that is all a results row needs to be clickable. The trouble starts when you want to analyse rather than browse: to know what a role actually requires, how one employer describes seniority, or which of its bets are being staffed. The Google Search Careers Scraper reads Alphabet's own careers site and returns each opening as a row carrying the full posting - the description, the minimum and preferred qualifications, the responsibilities as written, the location, the date and a direct application link. Submit up to 1,000 queries in a run, set language and country, choose how deep to go per query, and export as CSV, JSON or Excel.

The ten columns on this page are measured rather than assumed. They are the header row of real Livescraper careers exports, identical across 11 runs, and every fill rate quoted comes from the 131 rows those runs returned - covering 68 distinct job titles and 52 distinct locations. That matters because the reference for this endpoint documents the request side in full and does not enumerate the response columns at all, so a page that simply repeated the docs could not have told you what arrives. Six columns were populated on every row: query, title, company, location, posted and description. Three more - apply_url, qualifications and responsibilities - appeared on 104 of the 131. The tenth, job_id, is named in the header but was empty on every row and does not appear in the JSON export at all; it is listed here with that stated plainly rather than quietly dropped, because a column that exists and never fills is exactly the kind of thing that wastes an afternoon.

Four measured behaviours are worth knowing before you write an importer. First, those three partial columns are not independently sparse - they are the same 104 rows every time, with not one row carrying a partial set, so they behave as a single optional block and one presence check covers all three. Second, posted is a genuine ISO date in all 131 rows, with no relative strings mixed in, so it parses and sorts without normalisation; our sample ran from July 2025 to July 2026, which shows postings persist well beyond a few weeks. Third, location is a list hiding in a string: a role open in several offices puts all of them in one cell joined by a pipe, and one row in our sample carried seventeen that way, so split before you group by city or your geography will be nonsense. Fourth, company is not a constant - the careers site covers the Alphabet group, and alongside Google we saw GFiber, Verily Life Sciences, Wing, Waymo and YouTube.

Typical uses follow from the depth. Careers advisers and candidates read the qualifications column to replace folklore about the hiring bar with the text of the bar itself, minimum and preferred separated as the employer separates them. People and rewards teams sweep the whole board and read how responsibilities scale across levels within one job family, which is a sounder input to a levelling framework than a title ladder borrowed from elsewhere. Strategy teams re-run on a cadence and treat the result as a time series, watching where headcount is being added across the group - a cluster of new roles at one subsidiary in one region is a signal that tends to precede the announcement. One further note on input: a plain search term works, and in our runs a filtered careers URL pasted directly also worked and returned its result set as rows. The published reference describes only text queries, so treat the URL route as observed rather than promised, and confirm it on the free tier. Your first 500 rows cost nothing and need no credit card.
