Streamlining Recruitment: Automating Job Ad Analysis for Better Outreach

·
·

Hey peeps, I got quite a 🧩PUZZLE for my personalization and maybe some wizard will be able to solve it. We are selling a SaaS for Recruiting. Here is what I am doing manually, after I found my ICP in SL and enriched them in Clay:

  • Using the company URL, manually clicking on it

  • Going manually to the "Jobs" section of their website

  • clicking manually on a Job Ad

  • checking the job Ad (is it a PDF, self-made form, self-made simple page) or if it is done through an ATS (like softgarden, umantis, abacus, dualoo, etc.)

  • counting the number of jobs on their company URL

The output i have is simple, but super powerful for my prospecting/email campaign, because I get:

  • do they use an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) or do they do everything manually?

  • if they use an ATS, which one do they use?

  • How many open positions do they have to manage?

All this intel lets me:

  1. 1.

    put them in the right outreach campaign

  2. 2.

    personalize my outreach way beyond Name, company, linkedin stuff

  3. 3.

    solve real world issues with our solution that will help them and I can be super relevant in my outreach

But it's too time consuming when you want to outreach to 1000s contacts this way. Some stuff, that didnt work (at least for me with limited knowledge on all of them): Using builtwith doesnt work, because the products are very local and they dont appear in builtwith. Scraping doesnt work, because it uses fixed data points, it's good to use if you scrape always the same page, but here it's everytime another. AI also (so far) didnt work, it finds the pages but mostly returns inaccurate answers, for example it finds the career page but even that there are x amount of jobs there listed, it wont give you this detail. Does anyone has been in similar shoes and found a way to solve this repetitive tasks?

    Hey Braenk, a really cool use case, seems you have figured out a valuable flow! Are you looking to get advice on how to build this yourself or are you thinking to outsource this build? My 2cts are though that this is more than a puzzle. This is possible, but may involve building a custom scraper for the job sites, and there’s definitively some tinkering involved inside of Clay. In any case, if you like I’d be happy to see this manual flow in action and see how far we can get in a 30 min call. If I can help in that time, great! lmk
