Jobdanmark.dk Job Search

This skill searches for jobs on jobdanmark.dk using playwright-cli automation.

Prerequisites

You MUST have an open browser session before running any commands.

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

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

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

Wait a few seconds for the page to load before proceeding.

Workflow

Step 1: Dismiss Cookie Dialog

On fresh sessions, dismiss the Didomi cookie consent dialog:

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  try {
    await page.waitForTimeout(1500);
    await page.getByRole("button", { name: /Afvis og luk/ }).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. The button name matches the pattern "Afvis og luk" (Decline and close).

Step 2: Navigate to Search Results

Build the search URL using query parameters and navigate:

Basic search (keyword only):

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  const searchUrl = "https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?freetext=data%20analyst";
  await page.goto(searchUrl, { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" });
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
}'

Search with filters (location, type, category):

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    freetext: "softwareudvikler",
    location: "København",
    jobtype: "fuldtid",
    category: "227978"
  });
  const searchUrl = "https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?" + params.toString();
  await page.goto(searchUrl, { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" });
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
}'

CRITICAL: Always construct URLs inside JavaScript using URLSearchParams or unicode escapes. Shell interprets & as background operator. DO NOT use raw & characters in bash strings.

Alternative (unicode escape):

# Replace & with \u0026 in the URL string
playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark open "https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?freetext=udvikler\u0026location=Odense"

Step 3: Extract Job Listings

Extract job data from the Vue.js app layer using page.evaluate():

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
  const jobs = await page.evaluate(() => {
    const jobLinks = document.querySelectorAll("a.job-list");
    return Array.from(jobLinks).map(el => {
      const title = el.querySelector("h6, h5")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
      const company = el.querySelector("strong")?.textContent?.trim() || "";
      const location = el.querySelectorAll("li");
      const locText = location.length > 1 ? location[1]?.textContent?.trim() : "";
      const deadlineMatch = el.textContent?.trim().match(/Ansøgningsfrist:\s*([\d-]+)/);
      const deadline = deadlineMatch ? deadlineMatch[1] : "";
      return {
        url: "https://jobdanmark.dk" + el.getAttribute("href"),
        title,
        company,
        location: locText,
        deadline
      };
    });
  });
  return JSON.stringify(jobs, null, 2);
}'

Output format:

[
  {
    "url": "https://jobdanmark.dk/job/some-slug",
    "title": "Softwareudvikler",
    "company": "IT Company ApS",
    "location": "København K",
    "deadline": "2026-03-15"
  }
]

Typical page load: 30 results per load. Use "Indlæs flere job" button for more results.

Step 4: Present Results

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

• Total number of jobs found
• List each job with title, company, location, deadline, and URL
• Note if there are more results available (button "Indlæs flere job" present)

Load more results (if needed):

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark 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");
  }
}'

Then repeat Step 3 to extract the updated job list.

URL Patterns

Base search URL:

https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job

Query parameters:

Job types:

• fuldtid — Full-time
• deltid — Part-time
• elev — Apprentice
• studiejob — Student job
• praktik — Internship
• fleksjob — Flex job

Sorting:

• Bedste match — Best match
• Oprettelsesdato — Creation date (default)
• Ansøgningsfrist — Application deadline

Job detail URL pattern:

https://jobdanmark.dk/job/{slug}

Pagination: No URL-based pagination. Use "Indlæs flere job" button to load 30 more results at a time.

Tips

URL Construction

ALWAYS construct search URLs inside JavaScript using URLSearchParams or use unicode escape \u0026 for ampersands in bash strings. The shell interprets & as a background operator.

Good:

const params = new URLSearchParams({ freetext: "udvikler", location: "Aarhus" });
const url = "https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?" + params.toString();

Bad:

# Shell treats & as background operator - NEVER do this
playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark open "https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?freetext=udvikler&location=Aarhus"

Vue.js App Layer

Jobdanmark.dk uses a Vue.js app on top of Jobnet SSR. The snapshot shows SSR content but JavaScript extraction finds Vue app content. Always use page.evaluate() for extraction — snapshots are misleading.

Job Card Selector

Use a.job-list to select job cards. Each card contains:

• h6 or h5 — Job title
• strong — Company name
• Second li element — Location
• Deadline text pattern: Ansøgningsfrist: YYYY-MM-DD

Wait Times

Allow 2 seconds after navigation for Vue.js hydration:

await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

Cookie Dialog

The Didomi consent dialog only appears once per browser session. Always wrap dismissal in try/catch to avoid errors on subsequent searches.

Search Button Disambiguation

On the homepage, two buttons match "Søg". Use exact match when needed:

await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Søg", exact: true }).click();

Location Input

Location accepts both city names and postal codes:

• City: København, Aarhus, Odense
• Postal code: 5000, 8000, 2100

Empty Results

If no jobs match, the page shows "Ingen job matcher din søgning" (No jobs match your search). Check for this message to avoid showing empty results as errors.

Known Issues

1. Shell ampersand interpretation: Raw & in URLs causes the shell to background the process. Always use URLSearchParams in JavaScript or unicode escape \u0026.

1. SSR vs Vue layer mismatch: Snapshots show Jobnet SSR content but the Vue app renders different content. Never trust snapshot selectors — always verify with page.evaluate().

1. No URL pagination: Unlike jobindex.dk, jobdanmark.dk doesn't support ?page=2 URLs. Must use "Indlæs flere job" button for pagination.

1. Cookie dialog blocking: The Didomi dialog blocks all interactions until dismissed. Always handle it first with try/catch.

1. Deadline extraction fragility: Deadline format is text-based (Ansøgningsfrist: 2026-03-15), not structured data. The regex may need adjustment if the format changes.

1. Load more timing: After clicking "Indlæs flere job", wait at least 2 seconds before extracting jobs. Vue needs time to append new results.

Example Searches

Search for full-time IT jobs in Copenhagen:

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    freetext: "softwareudvikler",
    location: "København",
    jobtype: "fuldtid",
    category: "227978"
  });
  await page.goto("https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?" + params.toString());
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
}'

Search for part-time jobs in Odense (postal code):

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    freetext: "butiksassistent",
    location: "5000",
    jobtype: "deltid"
  });
  await page.goto("https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?" + params.toString());
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
}'

Broad keyword search (no filters):

playwright-cli -s=jobdanmark run-code 'async page => {
  await page.goto("https://jobdanmark.dk/jobsoeger/find-job?freetext=data%20analyst");
  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
}'
