A new-hires feed for your target accounts: one Claude Code prompt and one n8n workflow on Apify

Description and use

An automated workflow that fetches recent hires at target accounts, including their previous employers, enabling precise outreach.

Problem

Sales teams lack timely signals about new hires at target accounts, especially the source of those hires, which hampers lead qualification.

Outcome

The workflow delivers up to 2,500 hire rows per run, with 90‑day start windows and seniority filters. In a 6‑month run across five fintechs, 26 hires were returned, 25 with previous employer data, and 4 note rows. A 12‑month run across ten SaaS companies returned 152 hires, all with previous employer data, and 8 outside_window notes. The data enables precise, warm outreach based on hire origin.

Workflow

• 1. Prepare a CSV of target company domains (up to 50).
• 2. In Claude Code or any MCP client, add the New Hires Finder tool via the MCP URL.
• 3. Run the tool with parameters: accounts.csv, sinceMonths (e.g., 6 or 12), maxPerCompany, seniority filter, and country list if needed.
• 4. Receive JSON rows: fullName, jobTitle, seniority, companyName, companyDomain, startedAt, previousCompany, previousTitle, previousEndedAt, location, countryCode, linkedinUrl, hasWorkEmail, hasPersonalEmail.
• 5. (Optional) For selected hires, pass linkedinUrl to LinkedIn Email Finder to obtain contact emails.
• 6. In n8n, create a workflow that triggers every Monday, calls the same Actor, and posts the results to a Slack channel.
• 7. Use the previousCompany column to craft tailored outreach messages based on the three playbook categories (customer, competitor, other).

Evidence

The Actor is metered per returned row; a miss comes back as a note row, not as a hire.

Source

Five fintech accounts … Hires delivered 26 (N26 17, Stripe 5, Revolut 4; Klarna and Wise had nobody at that level in the window)

Source

The previousCompany column is the part of the row that does the most work. It sorts every hire into one of three conversations before you write a word:
