Hey, so I'm into the recruiting business. In my industry it's very common for people to make linkedin posts where they say they're looking for a job.
My goal is to be the first to reach out to them.
I was thinking of writing a python script that continuously searches for keywords that I choose using the linkedin search or google search, and finds job-seeking posts. The problem is that linkedin search sucks from my experience (correct me if I'm wrong) - it doesn't really find anything useful, related and/or recent, and google only crawls linkedin every once in a while, so it's not a good enough solution for finding these posts early on. Plus, google search is out of my linkedin account, so it doesn't utilize my network I believe.
Does anybody have a possible direction for this?
Thanks!
edit: btw, I couldn't find whether the official linkedin API is capable of this. Does anybody know?
