Website Job Extractor (Browser): Career Pages on JS-Heavy Sites

Extract job listings from JavaScript-rendered career pages (React, Vue, Angular SPAs) using Playwright plus AI. Browser-based companion to the HTTP-only Website Job Extractor: it handles the 28% of sites that return empty HTML without JavaScript execution. Same input format, same output, same confidence scoring. Auto-chained when the HTTP actor flags a company with js_rendering_suspected.

When to use this actor

• JS-rendered career pages: React, Vue, Angular and other modern SPA frameworks
• Empty HTML responses: career pages that ship a skeleton without JS execution
• Companies flagged by the HTTP actor: auto-triggered via enablePlaywrightFallback
• Sites requiring text-content wait: Playwright waits for network idle plus text presence
• ATS-backed careers: Personio, Greenhouse, Lever, Softgarden, Ashby and 14 more systems detected

How it works

• Playwright renders the full page, waiting for network idle plus visible text content
• Career page discovery from homepage navigation (same logic as the HTTP actor)
• ATS detection for 19 systems so the right scrape strategy is picked per company
• LLM extraction using Gemini Flash, Groq or OpenRouter with anti-hallucination checks
• Validation with per-job confidence scoring and cross-page deduplication
• Pagination follow-up for multi-page listing pages
