The problem it solves

Building a list of prospects or candidates from LinkedIn means opening profile after profile and copying details by hand. That manual copy-paste work adds up fast when you're trying to build any kind of real list.

Who it fits

A recruiter, sales rep, or researcher building lists from LinkedIn profiles.

How it works

  1. You add a list of LinkedIn profile URLs to a Google Sheet
  2. The system sends each URL to a scraping service
  3. It retrieves the profile details once scraping finishes
  4. The results are saved into your Google Sheet
  5. You get a notification once the batch is complete
What you get

Profile details gathered without manual copying

You get detailed LinkedIn profile data pulled straight into a spreadsheet for your list.

What you get

A Google Sheet filled with structured details pulled from each LinkedIn profile.

What you need

An Apify account and a Google Sheets account.

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.
