What You Can Scrape

Graduate-specific types: graduate scheme, graduate job, internship, summer internship, placement year, spring week, insight day
Sector filter: accounting, consulting, law, engineering, banking, technology, and 20+ more
Full-board discovery: rebuilds list from TargetJobs' own sitemap every run so you get every live listing
HTTP-only: no headless browser, no captcha subscription, no residential proxy required
Diversity flag: dedicated field when title or body mentions a diversity or social-mobility programme
Employer profile enrichment: company about text, website, and active job snapshot

What you get

title + employer_name + employer_logo_url — role title, hiring company, and logo
sector — list of sector labels (accounting, consulting, technology, etc.)
employment_type — spring week, placement year, summer internship, graduate scheme
salary_range — min, max, currency, period, and text
application_deadline + closing_date — two distinct dates: employer deadline vs listing removal
degree_required + target_universities — degree class and subject targets
diversity_scheme_flag — boolean for diversity and social-mobility programmes
application_url — direct external apply link

Who should use this

University careers services use this actor to monitor open spring weeks and graduate scheme deadlines per sector in real time, powering job board pages for students without manual data entry.

Graduate recruitment agencies track sector-level hiring velocity and benchmark their clients' schemes against direct competitors posting on the same board.

Diversity and inclusion researchers use the diversity_scheme_flag and sector combination to measure social-mobility programme prevalence across the UK graduate market.
