Automate LinkedIn candidates sourcing with Google X-ray Boolean search

Auto Source LinkedIn Candidates with GPT-4 Boolean Search & Google X-ray

How It Works:

1. User Input:

   • The user pastes a job description or ideal candidate specifications into the workflow.

2. Boolean Search String Generation:

   • OpenAI processes the input and generates a precise LinkedIn Boolean search string formatted as:
     site:linkedin.com/in ("Job Title" AND "Skill1" AND "Skill2")
   • This search string is optimized to find relevant LinkedIn profiles matching the provided criteria.

3. Google Sheet Creation:

   • A new Google Sheet is automatically created within a specified document to store extracted LinkedIn profile URLs.

4. Google Search Execution:

   • The workflow sends a search request to Google using an HTTP node with the generated Boolean string.

5. Iterative Search & Data Extraction:

   • The workflow retrieves the first 10 results from Google.
   • If the desired number of LinkedIn profiles has not been reached, the workflow loops, fetching the next set of 10 results until the if condition is met.

6. Data Storage:

   • The workflow extracts LinkedIn profile URLs from the search results and saves them to the newly created Google Sheet for further review.

Setup Steps:

1. API Key Configuration

• Under "Credentials", add your OpenAI API key from your OpenAI account settings.
• This key is used to generate the LinkedIn Boolean search string.

2. Adjust Search Parameters

• Navigate to the "If" node and update the condition to define the desired number of LinkedIn profiles to extract.
• The default is 50, but you can set it to any number based on your needs.

3. Establish Google Sheets Connection

• Connect your Google Sheets account to the workflow.
• Create a document to store the sourced LinkedIn profiles.
• The workflow automatically creates a new sheet for each new search, so no manual setup is needed.

4. Authenticate Google Search

• Google search requires authentication for better results.
• Use the Cookie-Editor browser extension to export your header string and enable authenticated Google searches within the workflow.

5. Run the Workflow

• Execute the workflow and monitor the Google Sheet for newly added LinkedIn profiles.
