Task

Context

What to Search For

From job postings:

  • Which departments are hiring most? (Engineering, Sales, Marketing, etc.)
  • What seniority levels? (Entry-level = scaling, Senior = new initiatives)
  • Any new teams or roles that didn't exist before?
  • Tech stack and tools mentioned in job descriptions

From LinkedIn insights:

  • Headcount growth over time
  • Which functions are growing fastest
  • Recent leadership hires

Search Strategy

  1. Search for the company's LinkedIn page
  2. Get the company ID from LinkedIn
  3. Search for jobs using only the company ID
  4. Pull LinkedIn company insights for growth context
  5. Optionally search Google Jobs for additional postings
  6. Look for patterns: lots of SDRs = outbound push, lots of engineers = product investment

What Counts as a Valid Result

  • Focus on current openings (posted in last 60 days)
  • Ignore generic evergreen postings if possible
  • Weight leadership roles higher (strategic signal)

Output
