How it works

This workflow automatically scrapes LinkedIn job postings for a list of target companies and organizes the results in Google Sheets. Every Monday morning, it checks your company list, runs a LinkedIn job scrape using Phantombuster, waits for the data to be ready, and then fetches the results. Finally, it formats the job postings into a clean structure and saves them into a results sheet for easy analysis.

Step-by-step

Start with Scheduled Trigger

  • The workflow runs automatically at 9:00 AM every Monday.
  • It reads your “Companies Sheet” in Google Sheets and filters only those marked with Status = Pending.

Scrape LinkedIn Jobs

  • The workflow launches your Phantombuster agent with the LinkedIn profile URLs from the sheet.
  • It waits 3 minutes to let the scraper finish running.
  • Then it fetches the output CSV link containing the job posting results.

Format the Data

  • The scraped data is cleaned and structured into fields like:

    • Company Name

    • Job Title

    • Job Description

    • Job Link

    • Date Posted

    • Location

    • Employment Type

Save Everything in Google Sheets

  • The formatted job data is appended into your “Job Results” Google Sheet.

  • Each entry includes a scrape date so you can track when the data was collected.

Why use this?

  • Automates job market research and competitive hiring analysis.

  • Collects structured job posting data from multiple companies at scale.

  • Saves time by running on a schedule with no manual effort.

  • Keeps all results organized in Google Sheets for easy review and sharing.

  • Helps HR and recruitment teams stay ahead of competitors’ hiring activity.
