Extractor chooser
| Extractor | Best use case | Core constraints/dependencies | Notable controls | Output/behavior notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gradcracker | UK graduate roles from Gradcracker | Crawling stability depends on page structure and anti-bot behavior; tuned for low concurrency | GRADCRACKER_SEARCH_TERMS, GRADCRACKER_MAX_JOBS_PER_TERM, JOBOPS_SKIP_APPLY_FOR_EXISTING |
Scrapes listing metadata, then detail pages and apply URL resolution |
| JobSpy | Multi-source discovery (Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor) | Requires Python wrapper execution per term; source availability and quality vary by site/location | JOBSPY_SITES, JOBSPY_SEARCH_TERMS, JOBSPY_RESULTS_WANTED, JOBSPY_HOURS_OLD, JOBSPY_LINKEDIN_FETCH_DESCRIPTION |
Produces JSON per term, then orchestrator normalizes and de-duplicates by jobUrl |
| Adzuna | API-based multi-country discovery with low scraping overhead | Requires valid App ID/App Key; country must be in Adzuna-supported list | ADZUNA_APP_ID, ADZUNA_APP_KEY, ADZUNA_MAX_JOBS_PER_TERM |
API pagination to dataset output; orchestrator maps progress and de-duplicates by sourceJobId/jobUrl |
| UKVisaJobs | UK visa sponsorship-focused roles | Requires authenticated session and periodic token/cookie refresh | UKVISAJOBS_EMAIL, UKVISAJOBS_PASSWORD, UKVISAJOBS_MAX_JOBS, UKVISAJOBS_SEARCH_KEYWORD |
API pagination + dataset output; orchestrator de-dupes and may fetch missing descriptions |
| Manual Import | One-off jobs not covered by scrapers | Inference quality depends on model/provider and input quality; some URLs cannot be fetched reliably | App/API endpoints (/api/manual-jobs/infer, /api/manual-jobs/import) |
Accepts text/HTML/URL, runs inference, then saves and scores job after review |
Which extractor should I use?
- Use JobSpy for broad first-pass sourcing across common boards.
- Use Adzuna when you want API-first discovery in supported non-UK markets.
- Use Gradcracker when targeting graduate pipelines in the UK.
- Use UKVisaJobs for sponsorship-specific UK searches.
- Use Manual Import when you already have a specific posting and need direct import.
Many runs combine sources: broad discovery first, then manual import for high-priority jobs that scraping misses.
