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.
