What it is.

A form trigger takes a role, a city, and a country. Bright Data's Dataset API returns recent job posts, a Code node cleans the results, and Google Sheets stores them.

A company hiring a demand gen manager has a budget line and a gap, which is a better reason to reach out than a firmographic match.

What you get.

  • A form you fill with role, city, and country to start a run.
  • Recent LinkedIn job posts returned through Bright Data's Dataset API.
  • A Code node that cleans the raw results before they land anywhere.
  • A Google Sheet of postings you can score and route by hand.
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Add your Bright Data API key to the HTTP Request node headers as a bearer token.

2

Connect Google Sheets over OAuth2 and give the workflow read and write access to one sheet.

3

Submit the form with a single role and one city first, so you can read the output before scaling.

4

Check the Wait node timing, since the Dataset API returns results asynchronously.

5

Decide which roles count as a signal for you, because hiring a CFO and hiring an SDR mean different things.

6

Route the sheet into your enrichment step, and keep the job title on the record as the reason for the touch.

Use cases

Treat a job post as intent

Fill the form with a role and city and read back who is hiring for it.

Time an outbound push

Reach the company while the role is still open.

Build a territory list

Run the search per market and keep the results as an account list.

Best for

Selling into a named function

If you sell to marketing, a company hiring marketers is a company with budget and a gap.

Timing an outbound touch

A job post carries a date, so you know the pain is current.

Building a territory list

Filtering by city and country produces a list you can hand to one rep.

Questions about Outbound & Prospecting

Why are job posts a buying signal?
How stale is a hiring signal?
Strengths
  • The filters are role, city, and country, which is enough to build a territory list from one run.
  • It cleans the results before storage, so the sheet is usable without a second pass.
  • The form trigger means a non-technical user can run it without opening the workflow.
Limitations
  • Bright Data is a paid scraping service, so each run has a cost per record.
  • Scraping LinkedIn sits against their terms of service, so check what your legal team allows.
  • A job post tells you a company is hiring and nothing about who owns the budget, so enrichment is still a separate step.
Skip this if
  • Skip it if you already buy a hiring-signal feed for your accounts.
Ideal for
  • SDR leads
  • Founders doing sales
  • Stage: Any stage
