Why this one

Use cases

• Build a Colombian labour-market dataset: 20,876 live offers on 30 September 2026, with city, contract and modality on every row.
• Benchmark salaries in Colombia from parsed COP bands, separating confidential offers from missing ones.
• Track hiring demand by city, job area or industry on a daily schedule, deduplicated on `job_id`.
• Identify employers hiring now, with name, industry and profile page where the offer is not confidential.

Input

Every field has a default, and the defaults are deliberately small so a first run is cheap enough to inspect before you commit to a sweep. This table mirrors the Actor's own input schema field for field.

Output and fill rates

A field being in the schema is not the same as it having a value. The percentages below were counted on real runs; the sample sizes are in Measurements. Anything not listed here is not promised.

Every key is always present. A field that exists but is empty comes back as explicit null, so a parser never has to guess.

Datasets

Different record types go to different datasets, so the main table never carries columns that are blank on most rows.

Pricing

Pay per delivered result. Charges are applied as each row is produced rather than in a lump at the end, so an aborted run bills only for what it actually gave you.

Measurements

Each figure is shown with the method that produced it. A benchmark without a method is a marketing claim wearing a number's clothes.

What it will not do

Stated plainly so you can judge fit before spending anything.

• elempleo's robots.txt notice and its terms restrict automated extraction and commercial use of the site's content; that is a constraint on the operator's use, not something the Actor resolves.
• Salary is published on 75.9% of offers; 23.2% say "Salario confidencial".
• One search returns at most 10,000 results, so full-country pulls are split by job area.
• The search result truncates about 15.9% of descriptions; the full job page, at $0.00004 extra per offer, returns them complete.
• Values are returned as elempleo publishes them, in Spanish, such as "Presencial" and "Indefinido".

Privacy

• Only registered company accounts can publish offers on elempleo: 494 of 494 measured offers came from a company account, confidential ones included.
• Recruitment phone numbers and emails that employers write into an offer are delivered in `contact_phones` and `contact_emails` — 4.3% and 4.0% of 300 full job pages.
• Nothing about candidates or site users is collected, and account, CV and application paths are blocked in the code.
• Removal requests: privacy@actorstack.dev

Guides for this Actor

• Scrape elempleo.comelempleo.com caps every search at 10,000 results, hides some employers and publishes salaries as bands with a decimal comma. How each of those is handled, and what the site's robots.txt and terms say.
