Linkedin post scraper?

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?

Not my typical expertise but I'm sure some of the freelancers here might have an idea about the LinkedIn API's capability for it. Might be worth posting on the Hire a Freelancer and perhaps coordinate with users who have experience making scraper tools for LinkedIn.
 
Any update cause I'm looking for something similar that can scrape job posts by hiring managers
 
Check out texau or phantombuster
