GulfTalent Jobs Scraper

GulfTalent Jobs Scraper: Gulf job listings by title, country and city

Search GulfTalent the way its own site lets you, by job title, country, city, role, industry, seniority and job type, and get one row per job. Each row carries the company, the place, the posting date and a link.

Job details are the catch. The description, salary, closing date and the employer's nationality, gender and Arabic asks are not available right now, so those fields come back empty, and the minimum salary filter waits on them too.

🔎 What GulfTalent Jobs Scraper does

It runs your searches against GulfTalent's search and keeps a job only when every word you typed is in its title, job role, industry, company name or place. GulfTalent's own search reads the body text too, which is why a made-up phrase still returns hundreds of results there. Those looser matches get dropped here and are never billed.

Word forms count as the same word, so accountant finds Accounting and engineer finds Engineering. Short words like HR and IT, and anything with symbols like C++, match as written.

Every filter on GulfTalent's search form is here: country, city, job role, industry, seniority, job type, Easy Apply, the separate Remote jobs entry and its exclusive listings. Two more are checked job by job, because the site cannot do them: posting date and company name.

📥 What you give it

{
  "keywords": ["accountant", "civil engineer"],
  "country": "AE",
  "city": "Dubai",
  "seniority": "4",
  "employmentType": "1",
  "postedWithinDays": 7,
  "maxResults": 200,
  "includeDetails": false
}

postedWithinDays and companies are checked job by job. With either set, a search reads at most maxPagesPerSearch pages and says so in the status message when it stops there. On 13 September 2026, covering every UAE job took 3 pages for the last day, 9 for a week and 27 for a month. A narrower search needs far fewer.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a run on 28 September 2026:

{
  "jobId": "619261",
  "title": "Sales Manager",
  "company": "KOTRA",
  "companyUrl": "https://www.gulftalent.com/companies/kotra-uae-careers",
  "companyLogoUrl": "https://www.gulftalent.com/images1/logos/listing/NE455-5512_logo-img-kotra-uae-careers-jobs.png",
  "location": "Dubai, UAE",
  "city": "Dubai",
  "country": "UAE",
  "category": "Sales - Wholesale / Corporate",
  "industry": "Manufacturing",
  "seniority": "Experienced professional",
  "employmentType": "Full-time",
  "remote": false,
  "easyApply": true,

  "url": "https://www.gulftalent.com/uae/jobs/sales-manager-619261",
  "detailsIncluded": false,
  "description": null,
  "salaryMin": null,
  "salaryMax": null,
  "salaryCurrency": null,
  "salaryPeriod": null,
  "salaryText": null,
  "validThrough": null,

  "searchCountry": "UAE",
  "searchCity": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-28T03:58:00.241Z"
}

Every row carries every key. A job found twice, by two searches or twice in one search's pages, comes back once, under the search that reached it first.

🧾 Reading the output

No diagnostic rows land in the dataset. The reasons live in the run's status message and in RUN_REPORT in the key-value store, which breaks each search down: how many jobs GulfTalent claimed, how many pages were read, how many came back, how many looser matches and out-of-filter jobs were dropped, and why the search stopped. A real status line reads: "Returned 250 jobs from 2 searches in UAE. Stopped at the 250-job limit. 2,077 looser matches from the site were left out and not charged."

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.65 per 1,000 jobs. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

💡 What people use it for

• Watching a role and a city on a schedule, Posted within set to a day, deduping on jobId.
• Counting postings by role, industry and seniority across the Gulf to see where hiring is moving.
• Tracking one company group's openings by feeding Companies the parent name.

🚧 What it does not do

• It matches titles, not descriptions. GulfTalent had 2,107 jobs mentioning "python developer"

and 192 with it in the title. You get the 192.

• No job details for now. Description, salary, closing date and the employer's requirements

come back empty.

• Remote jobs sit outside the countries. A remote job in Dubai will not appear in a UAE search.

Use country: "REMOTE" for those.

• No contact details. No recruiter name, phone or email.
• English only. A search written in Arabic is refused rather than returning nothing quietly.
• A search stops early when matches run thin, after at least two pages. The status message

says so, and names any later searches it skipped so you can run them on their own.

• The site's list shifts while it is read, so a job can appear twice in one pass and another can

slip past. Measured at 11 repeats in a 2,000-job UAE read.

• With no country set, a few jobs from outside the region come back. One in Zambia and one in

India turned up among 100 rows.

• It does not sign in or apply. Nothing behind a GulfTalent account is reachable.

🧭 Which jobs scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a GulfTalent account? No. Nothing to sign up for, no key to manage.

Why did I get fewer jobs than the site's count? That count includes every job mentioning your words anywhere, descriptions included. RUN_REPORT puts the site's number next to what came back.

Why does a job have no city? GulfTalent lists some jobs against a whole country. Those rows keep country and leave city empty.

How do I follow a whole month of a country? Set Posted within to 30 and raise Most pages per search to around 30. Each page holds 200 jobs.

Is scraping job listings legal? These are public listings on a public site. They still carry personal data in places, which GDPR and similar laws cover, so have a reason for collecting it. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the run ID and the input you used. The status message and RUN_REPORT usually name the problem between them.
