LinkedIn AI Candidate Search & Ranker
Automate the first pass of your recruitment funnel. Provide a job description, pull matching candidate profiles from the LinkedIn People Search API, let an LLM score each one 1–10 against your ICP, and get a ranked shortlist in Slack — all without opening LinkedIn manually.
What this workflow does
- JobDescription — enter the role title, must-have skills, and seniority level
- SearchLinkedIn — POST to the LinkedIn People Search API with extracted keywords
- IterateCandidates — Loop over each returned profile
- RankCandidate — LLM scores the profile 1–10 against the job description and writes a one-line rationale
- CandidateScore — Set node normalises the score and contact URL
- TopCandidates — Output captures the full ranked list when the loop finishes
- NotifyHR — Slack posts the top 5 shortlisted candidates to your hiring channel
Use cases
- Inbound sourcing: rank applicants from a parsed ATS export
- Outbound sourcing: search LinkedIn for passive candidates matching a niche role
- Bulk re-ranking when a job description changes
Setup
- Get a LinkedIn API access token (via the LinkedIn Developer Portal) and add it as
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKENin the SearchLinkedIn HTTP node. - Connect an OpenAI-compatible credential in the RankCandidate LLM node.
- Add a Slack credential and set your hiring channel in the NotifyHR node.
- Edit the JobDescription textInput with a real role spec before the first run.
Notes
- LinkedIn API rate limits apply — add a Wait node between iterations for large searches.
- Swap the LinkedIn HTTP node for an Apollo.io or Hunter.io endpoint to enrich without a LinkedIn developer account.
- The LLM score is advisory; always review the rationale before outreach.
