A Hiring Signal Is Not Buying Intent: Build a Better Prospect Watchlist

Description and use

The workflow enables precise filtering of job posts, verification of employer legitimacy, and identification of roles that match product relevance, leading to higher quality prospect lists.

Problem

Job posts do not reliably indicate current hiring intent or buying readiness, leading to inefficient prospect research.

Outcome

The workflow enables precise filtering of job posts, verification of employer legitimacy, and identification of roles that match product relevance, leading to higher quality prospect lists.

Workflow

• Define 3‑6 roles specific to your offer and record relevance reasons.
• Enter a focused keyword search with location, set country to "us", output to "companies", and maxCompanies to 20.
• Inspect openRoles and job source links; count only useful posts.
• For promising employers, run jobs mode separately to read descriptions and note tools, responsibilities, and problems.
• Verify each role on the employer’s careers page; mark unresolved cases.
• Remove duplicates, staffing listings, and reposts with unclear employers.
• Record observed posting date; do not label company as ready to buy automatically.
• Optionally use LinkedIn People Search to find public profiles by title, company, and location for manual follow‑up.
• Review evidence before deciding on further attention; workflow stops at research and sends no messages.

Evidence

A job post is evidence of an advertised role. It does not establish current hiring intent, budget for your product, a vendor shortlist or a purchasing deadline.
