How to scrape Google Careers Jobs

Google Careers is one of the most popular recruitment platforms offering job opportunities at Google. 

Job seekers can search through the platform and find job opportunities at all the Google’s offices from Los Angeles to Seoul. 

Collecting data from Google jobs has become a common practice for both job seekers and companies. Here are a few reasons why they do it: 

🔹 Job seekers mainly collect data from the Google Careers page so that they can spot the relevant job openings earlier than their competitors for the positions, etc. 

🔹 Recruiters and companies need to scrape Google jobs to be able to analyze the job market, collect insights into the hiring patterns that Google uses, and more.
