    To extract job descriptions from LinkedIn job posts using a LinkedIn job post URL, we recommend using our "Find Active Job Openings with Companies, People, Jobs" feature. This tool allows you to search for job openings and retrieve detailed information, including job descriptions. Here's a brief overview of how to use it: 1. Input the company's LinkedIn URL or domain in the "Company Identifier" field. 2. Use optional fields like "Job Title Keywords" or "Job Description Keywords" to narrow your search. 3. Set other parameters as needed (e.g., location, employment type, days since posted). 4. The tool will return an array of jobs with relevant details. Keep in mind that while this method is effective, it doesn't directly use a specific job post URL as input. Instead, it searches for active job openings based on the company and other criteria you provide. Is there a particular aspect of job description extraction you're most interested in, or do you have a specific use case in mind?

    Our "Find Jobs" feature doesn't directly use a specific LinkedIn job post URL as input. Instead, it searches for job openings based on criteria you provide. Here's how you can use it: 1. Use the "Company Name" or "Company Domain" field to specify the company. 2. Input relevant keywords in the "Job Title" or "Job Description" fields. 3. Set other parameters like location if needed. The tool will return job listings with details including job descriptions. While this method doesn't use a direct URL input, it's an effective way to find and extract job information from LinkedIn and other sources. If you need more specific assistance, please let me know.

    To extract job posting descriptions from LinkedIn URLs provided by our "Find Jobs" feature, you can use our "Find Open Jobs with Apollo.io" action. Here's how: 1. Use the LinkedIn URLs from "Find Jobs" as input. 2. The action will retrieve job details, including the job description. 3. You'll get outputs like Job Description, Job Post URL, Job Type, and more. This method allows you to extract detailed job information directly from the LinkedIn URLs you already have. If you need further assistance with this process, please let me know.
