The problem it solves

Building a list of leads or candidates on LinkedIn means hours of searching, opening profiles, and copying names and links into a spreadsheet by hand. It's tedious and easy to lose track of who you've already found. You'd rather spend that time actually reaching out.

Who it fits

Sales teams, recruiters, or anyone building a list of contacts from LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. You submit a search term through a simple form
  2. The system searches the web for matching public LinkedIn profiles
  3. It pulls out the names, links, and short descriptions from the results
  4. The results are saved as new rows in your Google Sheet
What you get

Prospect lists ready without manual searching

You get a spreadsheet full of matching LinkedIn profiles ready for outreach, built automatically from a single search term you provide.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of LinkedIn profile links, names, and descriptions matching your search.

What you need

An Apify account and a Google account with Sheets access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
