Discovering company size is a vital step in sales prospecting and market research. With Bardeen, you can seamlessly extract the headcount of any company from its LinkedIn profile and utilize this information for your business development strategies. This playbook simplifies data sourcing by automating the extraction process, saving you time and providing accurate results.
Here is how this workflow operates:
- Step 1: Prepare LinkedIn URL - Bardeen starts by preparing the LinkedIn company profile URL that you provide. This URL will direct Bardeen to the company's LinkedIn page where the headcount information is located.
- Step 2: Scrape LinkedIn data - The Scraper, a tool for extracting data from websites, is used to gather information from the LinkedIn company profile in the background, ensuring that all relevant data is captured without manual effort.
- Step 3: Extract headcount information - After scraping the data, Bardeen will split the string to isolate the section that indicates the number of employees.
- Step 4: Display company headcount - Finally, the specific piece of data representing the company's headcount is extracted from the array and displayed, giving you the insights you need quickly and efficiently.
