Hi! I’m trying to get a list of applicants from my posted Linkedin Job Post. Is there a way? I tried LinkedIn Profile Data Extraction for hours but couldn’t find a solution. I tried to use the Browser Extension and record session etc. Please help

Hey @Ireneadler_3 - The Linkedin Profile Scraper node scrapes the profile given the Linkedin profile URL as input, if that is what you’re looking for then you’ll need a list of all the applicants Linkedin profiles.

If you want to extract a list of applicants directly from your job posting then that is only possible with the chrome extension because accessing that information requires logging into your Linkedin Profile.

Can you share the run link from the https://www.gumloop.com/history page with the chrome extension browser input that didn’t work?

Thank you so much for your reply. I want to extract a list of applicants directly from my job posting. Of course; https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id=UeF66voVB4azzSxhh2J3y3&workbook_id=kkVuXy2z8z5aPiELsTuCpE

I’ve requested access to view the flow. You can also enable ‘anyone with the link can view’ under the share button. Will look into this once I’ve access :slight_smile:

Thank you! You’re almost there. I see that you have the flow setup properly with the right nodes and with some tweaks you’ll be able to extract all the information you need.

  1. The Loop Mode on the Browser Extension & Extract Data node is unnecessary here since we’re only processing a single URL at a time from the extension. You can disable that.

  2. I see that you’re passing the data to the Writer Mode input of the Google Sheet node which is one of its parameters. You would want to connect the data to the actual column headers. For that you’ll need to refresh the node once or you can delete the node and add it back.

  3. Finally, since you want to extract a list of candidate information its better to enable Extract List on the Extract Data node.

Try PhantomBuster (Gumloop also has a PB node)

Thank you for your help on the flow setup it’s really helpful. I’ve made the adjustments you suggested, but I’m still encountering an issue. While I can extract the names, I’m having trouble getting the URLs.

Additionally, is there a way to collect all the applicants from the job post? So far, I’ve only been able to get the names from one page.

Any insights you have would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your support!

Hey @Ireneadler_3 - Could you please share the latest run link from the https://www.gumloop.com/history page here?

As for your questions:

  1. If the scraped content is not able to output the URLs you can try the Scrape Source action on the Browser Extension node.
  2. For multiple pages, I believe you’d have to run the flow manually
    on each page. The scraped content only outputs the content from the screen you’re on when you run the flow.

Thank you so much for your answer. I changed as scrape sources but this time it only gave me the linkedin homepage url www.linkedin.com. Here is the link you wanted; https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id=PDUVdqxv3fN94DdjFsDpLw&workbook_id=kkVuXy2z8z5aPiELsTuCpE thanks again :slight_smile:

Hi I still couldn’t figure out the issue. https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=aieTz5m2FavEkYJMg1ZBye Can you help?

I’ve requested access to view the flow. You can also enable ‘anyone with the link can view’ under the share button. Can you also share the run link for this new workbook from the https://www.gumloop.com/history page?

Also, Linkedin is very strict about scraping so I’d recommend taking a look at their API to see if this information is available. If it is you can create a custom node to pull the data.

https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=aieTz5m2FavEkYJMg1ZBye Is this the link you requested?

The run_link would have the run_id in the URL. But I noticed that loop mode was enabled when its not needed, fixed it here: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=7piZiLWBKjGbuxdzm9he1D
