Jobindex.dk Job Search

Search for jobs on jobindex.dk using playwright-cli for browser automation.

Prerequisites

A browser session must be open. If not, open one:

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

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

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

Workflow

Step 1: Dismiss popups

On first visit, up to three popups appear. Dismiss them in order:

# Cookie consent — click "Afvis" (reject)
playwright-cli -s=jobindex snapshot
# Find and click the "Afvis" button by ref
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-Afvis>

# AI assistant popup — click "Luk" (close)
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-Luk>

# Jobagent popup (appears after first search) — click "Luk" inside dialog
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-dialog-Luk>

Important: Refs change per session. Always take a snapshot first and find buttons by name:

• Cookie: button named "Afvis"
• AI popup: button named "Luk"
• Jobagent: button named "Luk" inside a dialog element

Some popups may not appear. That's fine — just continue.

Step 2: Navigate to search results via URL

The most efficient approach is constructing the URL directly:

playwright-cli -s=jobindex goto "https://www.jobindex.dk/jobsoegning?q=data+engineer"

For detailed URL patterns, see url-reference.md.

Step 3: Extract job listings

playwright-cli -s=jobindex run-code 'async page => {
  const jobs = await page.$$eval("div.PaidJob, div.jix_robotjob", cards => cards.map(card => {
    const title = card.querySelector("h4 a")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const url = card.querySelector("h4 a")?.href || "";
    const company = card.querySelector("a[href]")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const locationEl = card.querySelector("h4")?.parentElement?.querySelector("h4 ~ div");
    const location = locationEl?.textContent?.replace(/Se rejsetid/g, "").trim() || "";
    const date = card.querySelector("time")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
    const desc = Array.from(card.querySelectorAll("p")).map(p => p.textContent.trim()).join(" ");
    return { title, company, location, date, url, desc: desc.substring(0, 300) };
  }));
  const countEl = await page.$("h2");
  const count = countEl ? await countEl.textContent() : "";
  return JSON.stringify({ total: count.trim(), jobs }, null, 2);
}'

Step 4: Present results to the user

Format the extracted jobs as a readable list with:

• Job title (linked to URL)
• Company name
• Location
• Posted date
• Short description

Using the Geografi (km radius) Filter

When the user wants jobs near a specific address/city, use the Geografi filter UI. This cannot be done via URL alone.

Procedure

# 1. Navigate to search results first
playwright-cli -s=jobindex goto "https://www.jobindex.dk/jobsoegning?q=administrativ"

# 2. Dismiss any popups (see Step 1 above)

# 3. Take snapshot, find and click Geografi button
playwright-cli -s=jobindex snapshot
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-Geografi-button>

# 4. Fill km radius (spinbutton "Hvor langt vil du have til arbejde?")
playwright-cli -s=jobindex fill <ref-for-km-spinbutton> "30"

# 5. Fill address (textbox "Fra hvilken adresse?")
playwright-cli -s=jobindex fill <ref-for-address-textbox> "Skævinge"

# 6. Take snapshot to see autocomplete suggestions
playwright-cli -s=jobindex snapshot

# 7. Click the desired address suggestion (role: option)
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-address-option>

# 8. CRITICAL: Dismiss the autocomplete dropdown before clicking submit
#    Press Tab to move focus away (do NOT press Escape — it closes the whole panel)
playwright-cli -s=jobindex press Tab

# 9. Take snapshot, find and click "Vis X job" button
playwright-cli -s=jobindex snapshot
playwright-cli -s=jobindex click <ref-for-vis-job-button>

Known pitfalls

• NEVER press Escape in filter panels — it closes the entire panel and loses unsaved values
• Autocomplete dropdown blocks clicks — after selecting an address option, press Tab to dismiss the dropdown before clicking "Vis X job"
• Both km AND address required — setting only one won't filter
• Filter values are lost if panel closes — always click "Vis X job" before doing anything else
• Refs change between snapshots — always take a fresh snapshot before clicking

If "Vis X job" is blocked by overlay, use force click as last resort:

playwright-cli -s=jobindex run-code 'async page => { await page.getByRole("button", { name: /Vis.*job/ }).click({ force: true }); }'

Using the Kategorier Filter

Works similarly to Geografi but with category autocomplete:

# 1. Click Kategorier button
# 2. Type category in search field
# 3. Select from autocomplete (treeitem)
# 4. Press Tab to dismiss
# 5. Click "Vis X job"

Tips

• Broad vs exact search: q=data+engineer (broad, many results) vs q=%27data+engineer%27 (exact match with quotes, fewer results)
• Pagination: Add &page=2, &page=3 etc. ~20 results per page.
• Multiple pages: To get more results, loop through pages by incrementing the page parameter.
• Popups: On a fresh session you MUST dismiss popups before extracting data. After the first dismissal in a session, they won't reappear.
• Browser reuse: If a browser is already open from a previous command, just use playwright-cli -s=jobindex goto — no need to reopen.
• Always snapshot before interacting — refs are session-specific and change with every snapshot.
• Prefer URL construction over UI interaction when possible — it's faster and avoids filter panel pitfalls.
