The problem it solves

Spotting which companies are hiring for roles that signal they're ready to buy means checking LinkedIn job boards constantly and copying listings by hand. That manual tracking is slow, and duplicate entries pile up fast.

Who it fits

Best for founders, recruiters, and sales teams who use hiring activity as a signal for outreach or lead generation.

How it works

  1. The system scans your target LinkedIn job searches on a schedule
  2. It pulls job title, company, location, and posting date for each listing
  3. New listings are checked against what's already logged to skip duplicates
  4. Each job is tagged with how many days ago it was posted
  5. New, unique listings are added to a running spreadsheet
What you get

New hiring signals showing up in one list

You get a running list of new job postings from companies you're targeting, without checking LinkedIn yourself.

What you get

A clean, de-duplicated spreadsheet of current LinkedIn job postings with posting dates.

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.
