This automation scrapes the headcount of a company from its LinkedIn page and sends this information directly to a specified Slack channel. It's perfect for HR departments, sales teams looking for prospect insights, or anyone needing quick access to company size data without leaving Slack.
First, the automation uses a combined scraper model on the active LinkedIn company page to extract the headcount. Then, it crafts a message with the company's headcount and sends it to a specified Slack channel. This allows for real-time sharing of company size information within teams.
Pro Tip: Customizing the message or adding more details from the LinkedIn page to the Slack message is possible by modifying the scraper model outputs.
This automation streamlines the process of gathering and sharing business intelligence, enhancing team collaboration and data-driven decision-making.

To find current employees, start by searching for the company's LinkedIn page. Once on the page, look for the "# employees" link in the company's bio section. Clicking this link will give you a list view of all current employees, which you can further filter to narrow down your search. For former employees, the process involves using LinkedIn's search bar and filters. After performing a general search, filter the results to show only people and then use the "All filters" option. Scroll to find the "Past company" filter, add the company name, and apply additional filters as needed to refine your search.
While these methods are effective, they can be time-consuming and provide static information. Tools like LeadDelta offer a more dynamic approach by allowing users to import LinkedIn profiles into a CRM-like database for enhanced management and integration into workflows.
