Automate ZipRecruiter

Turn the repetitive ZipRecruiter work you do by hand (search a role, open a posting) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing ZipRecruiter by hand

The ZipRecruiter tasks you repeat (search a role, open a posting, extract fields) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But ZipRecruiter has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. ZipRecruiter's API is partner-gated; there is no general public API for job search results.

Writ closes that gap. Record the ZipRecruiter task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

ZipRecruiter tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real ZipRecruiter action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

Workflows extract structured fields such as job title, company, location, pay estimate along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your ZipRecruiter automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the ZipRecruiter task once in a real browser (search a role, then open a posting) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on ZipRecruiter in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch ZipRecruiter's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on ZipRecruiter

The reason ZipRecruiter is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

ZipRecruiter job results are public; Writ renders the page to capture postings that load dynamically.

Run the ZipRecruiter automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the ZipRecruiter task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch ZipRecruiter for new posting for a query or pay-estimate change and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the ZipRecruiter workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when ZipRecruiter changes. It runs on your own ZipRecruiter account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/ziprecruiter/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the ZipRecruiter automation too.

Trigger the ZipRecruiter automation on a change

Monitor ZipRecruiter for new posting for a query, pay-estimate change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your ZipRecruiter automation in seconds. Monitor ZipRecruiter ▸

The same ZipRecruiter automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating ZipRecruiter for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/ziprecruiter/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the ZipRecruiter task too.

Automating ZipRecruiter: questions

How do I automate ZipRecruiter?
Record the ZipRecruiter task once in the recorder (search a role, open a posting, extract fields) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own ZipRecruiter account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate ZipRecruiter this way?
Collect ZipRecruiter data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does ZipRecruiter automation work behind login and 2FA?
ZipRecruiter job results are public; Writ renders the page to capture postings that load dynamically. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated ZipRecruiter session.
Can I run the ZipRecruiter automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when ZipRecruiter is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
