I’m not even sure this works anymore, but here is what I wrote to scrape CB for one company:

require 'unescape'

class FiberlinkJob < Scraper::Base
  process "td>a.job_title", :title => :text, :url => "@href"
  process "td", :description => :text
  process "span.tip_11", :location => :text, :posted_on => :text,
    :jobcode => "", :guid => ""
  
  result :title, :description, :location, :posted_on, :url, :jobcode, :guid
  
  def collect
    self.title = unescape(self.title)
    self.url = unescape(self.url)
    
    self.url = self.url.sub(/\&sc.*/, '')

    self.location = location.sub(/.*Location: (^[&]+).*/, '\1')
    self.posted_on = posted_on.sub(/.*Posted: ([A-Za-z]+).(\d+).*/, '\1 \2')
    self.guid = self.url
  end
end

class Fiberlink < Scraper::Base
  def Fiberlink.url
  "http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Companies/CompanyJobResults.aspx?Comp_DID=C250M6WSR21P12J2CN"
  end
    
  array :jobs
  process "table#snapshotOff1 tr", :jobs => FiberlinkJob
  result :jobs
end

Good luck!

I am trying to scrap search from careerbuilder.com, How did you managed to take care of odd/even rows and company name in the row. I am new to this. I am trying to use gathered information to assist students looking for job.

thanks in advance
