The problem it solves

Manually searching LinkedIn for the right people to hire, sell to, or research means endless scrolling and copy-pasting names into a spreadsheet. It's slow and easy to lose track of who you've already found.

Who it fits

A recruiter, sales rep, or researcher who needs a list of LinkedIn profiles matching a specific role and region.

How it works

  1. You submit a position, industry, and region through a form
  2. The system searches for matching LinkedIn profile pages
  3. It pulls out the name, job title, bio, and profile photo for each result
  4. It keeps fetching more pages of results until the limit is reached
  5. Every profile is added to a spreadsheet without duplicates

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.
