Jobnet.dk Job Search

This skill searches for jobs on jobnet.dk, Denmark's official public job portal operated by STAR (Styrelsen for Arbejdsmarked og Rekruttering). Jobnet aggregates public sector jobs and many private sector positions, making it a comprehensive resource for job seekers in Denmark.

Prerequisites

Before running a search, ensure you have an open browser session:

# Headless (default, supports parallel execution)
playwright-cli -s=jobnet open https://jobnet.dk/find-job

# Headed (visible browser, for debugging)
playwright-cli -s=jobnet open https://jobnet.dk/find-job --headed

Named session -s=jobnet allows this skill to run in parallel with other job search skills. Use -s=jobnet on all subsequent commands.

Workflow

Step 1: Dismiss Cookie Banner

On first visit, dismiss the cookie banner:

playwright-cli -s=jobnet run-code 'async page => {
  try {
    await page.waitForTimeout(1500);
    await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Kun nødvendige cookies" }).click({ timeout: 3000 });
    await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("No cookie dialog or already dismissed");
  }
}'

Note: Use try/catch because the dialog only appears on first visit.

Step 2: Navigate to Search Results

Build the search URL with appropriate filters and navigate directly. This is more reliable than using the UI filters, which use React components that can be difficult to automate.

Example URL construction:

https://jobnet.dk/find-job?searchString=systemudvikler&regions=HovedstadenOgBornholm&occupationAreas=110000&workHoursType=FullTime&employmentDurationType=Permanent&orderType=CreationDate

Navigate using playwright-cli:

playwright-cli -s=jobnet goto "https://jobnet.dk/find-job?searchString=YOUR_QUERY&regions=REGION_CODE"

Wait for results to load (usually 1-2 seconds).

Step 3: Extract Job Listings

Use the following JavaScript code to extract job data from the page:

playwright-cli -s=jobnet run-code '
async page => {
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
  const jobs = await page.evaluate(() => {
    return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("article")).map(a => {
    const title = a.querySelector("h3 p")?.textContent?.trim();
    const titleLink = a.querySelector("h3")?.closest("a");
    const company = titleLink?.querySelectorAll("p")?.[1]?.textContent?.trim();
    const url = titleLink?.getAttribute("href");
    const times = a.querySelectorAll("time");
    const deadline = times[0]?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const published = times[1]?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const infoList = a.querySelector(".jobadcard_job-info-list__aA30l");
    const spans = infoList?.querySelectorAll("span") || [];
    const workHours = spans[0]?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const location = spans[1]?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const snippet = a.querySelector(".jobadcard_description-paragraph__VTOnj")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    return {
      title,
      company,
      url: "https://jobnet.dk" + url,
      deadline,
      published,
      workHours,
      location,
      snippet
    };
  });
  });
  return JSON.stringify(jobs, null, 2);
}
'

Note on pagination: Jobnet uses infinite scroll with a "Indlæs flere job" (Load more jobs) button. The initial page load shows 10 results. To load more:

playwright-cli -s=jobnet run-code 'async page => {
  try {
    await page.getByRole("button", { name: /Indlæs flere job/ }).click({ timeout: 3000 });
    await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
    console.log("Loaded more jobs");
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("No more jobs to load");
  }
}'

Repeat as needed, then re-extract jobs. The list grows cumulatively (10 → 20 → 30).

Step 4: Present Results

Format the extracted JSON into a readable summary for the user, including:

• Job title
• Company name
• Location
• Work hours (Fuldtid/Deltid)
• Application deadline
• Published date
• Brief snippet
• Direct URL to full job posting

Present 5-10 jobs per batch unless the user requests more.

Geographic Search Modes

Jobnet supports three mutually exclusive geographic filter modes:

1. Region-based — Use regions parameter for broad regional filtering
2. Postal code + radius — Use postalCode + kmRadius for precise location search
3. No fixed workplace — Use workplaceFilter=NonFixed for remote/flexible jobs

Do not combine these modes in a single search.

Fagområde (occupationAreas)

Confirmed codes:

Tips

Building Effective Search URLs

1. Start simple: Begin with just searchString and regions
2. Add filters incrementally: Layer on workHoursType, employmentDurationType, etc. as needed
3. Use postal code for precise location: Combine postalCode=2100&kmRadius=25 for jobs near Østerbro within 25km
4. Combine filters: Multiple filters narrow results: searchString=udvikler&regions=HovedstadenOgBornholm&workHoursType=FullTime&employmentDurationType=Permanent

Search Query Tips

• No quotes needed: Unlike Jobindex, Jobnet doesn't require quotes for exact matches
• Use Danish terms: "systemudvikler" works better than "system developer"
• Try variations: Search both "IT-konsulent" and "konsulent" separately if needed

Handling Pagination

Initial load shows 10 jobs. To load more, use the same pattern as Step 3:

playwright-cli -s=jobnet run-code 'async page => {
  try {
    await page.getByRole("button", { name: /Indlæs flere job/ }).click({ timeout: 3000 });
    await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("No more jobs to load");
  }
}'

Then re-run the extraction code. The article list grows cumulatively (10 → 20 → 30+).

Extracting Full Job Details

Job detail pages have URL pattern: https://jobnet.dk/find-job/{uuid}

To extract full job descriptions:

1. Click a job card link from the search results
2. Wait for detail page to load
3. Extract content using appropriate selectors

Example detail extraction (selectors may need adjustment):

playwright-cli -s=jobnet run-code '
async page => {
  const title = document.querySelector("h1")?.textContent?.trim();
  const description = document.querySelector("[class*=description]")?.innerHTML;
  return JSON.stringify({ title, description }, null, 2);
}
'

Known Issues and Pitfalls

1. CSS Class Names May Change

CSS class names include hash suffixes (e.g., jobadcard_job-info-list__aA30l) that may change between deployments. If extraction fails:

• Take a fresh snapshot and inspect the HTML structure
• Update selectors to use semantic queries where possible
• Test the extraction code before relying on results

2. React-Select Components

Region and occupation filters use React-select components, which are difficult to automate reliably. Always prefer URL parameters over UI interactions for setting filters.

3. Fagområde/Kategori Codes

Most occupation area and group codes are undocumented. To discover codes:

1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
2. Go to Network tab
3. Select filters in the jobnet.dk UI
4. Inspect the find-job request URL to see the codes
5. Document new codes in this skill file

4. Hierarchical Filter Dependencies

The "Kategori" (occupationGroups) filter is disabled until a "Fagområde" (occupationAreas) is selected. They form a hierarchy. When using URL parameters, you can include both, but ensure consistency.

5. No URL-Based Pagination

Unlike Jobindex, Jobnet does not use URL parameters for pagination (no ?page=2). You must:

• Click "Indlæs flere job" button repeatedly
• Re-extract the full article list after each click
• The list grows cumulatively (10 → 20 → 30 jobs)

6. Geographic Filter Conflicts

Do not mix geographic filter types:

• ❌ Bad: regions=HovedstadenOgBornholm&postalCode=2100
• ✅ Good: regions=HovedstadenOgBornholm OR postalCode=2100&kmRadius=50

7. Initial Page Load Time

Search results may take 1-3 seconds to load. After navigating to a search URL, wait briefly before extracting jobs. If extraction returns empty results, wait longer and retry.
