The Challenge

Job postings are one of the strongest buying signals in B2B sales. When a company hires a Head of Data, they are about to buy data tools. When they hire RevOps, they are evaluating CRMs. But manually searching LinkedIn Jobs for every target account, reading through descriptions, and tracking what is new takes hours. Most teams either ignore this signal entirely or check it inconsistently.

The Prompt

The Prompt

Task

Scan LinkedIn job postings to identify buying signals at target accounts. When a company is hiring for specific roles (ops, data, engineering, marketing), it often means they are investing in new tools and infrastructure. Track open roles at target companies to time your outreach for maximum relevance.

Input

The user provides:

  • Target companies or industries to monitor
  • Job titles or departments to watch (e.g., "data engineer", "RevOps", "marketing ops")
  • Optional: location filter
  • Optional: what product/service they are selling (to tailor the signal analysis)

Context

Workflow

  1. Use @LinkedIn/Search JobsName it "LinkedIn/Search Jobs" and call it with @LinkedIn/Search Jobs to find open roles matching the user's criteria at target companies
  2. Use @LinkedIn/Search Jobs AdvancedName it "LinkedIn/Search Jobs Advanced" and call it with @LinkedIn/Search Jobs Advanced for more refined filtering — by experience level, job type (full-time, contract), and recency
  3. For companies with relevant openings, use @LinkedIn/Get CompanyName it "LinkedIn/Get Company" and call it with @LinkedIn/Get Company to pull company context — size, industry, growth stage
  4. Analyze the job postings for buying signals: what tools they mention, what problems they are solving, what teams they are building
  5. Prioritize accounts based on signal strength

What Constitutes a Buying Signal

  • Hiring for roles that use your product category (e.g., hiring a RevOps manager = likely evaluating CRMs)
  • Job descriptions mentioning specific tools or categories you compete in
  • Multiple related openings at once (team buildout = budget allocated)
  • Senior hires (VP/Director level = strategic initiative, budget authority)
  • Contract or part-time roles in your space (exploring before committing)

What to Extract Per Job

  • Job title and department
  • Company name, size, and industry
  • Key requirements and tools mentioned in the description
  • Seniority level
  • Date posted (recency = urgency)
