LinkedIn Job Search

Find decision-makers at companies that are actively hiring. LinkedIn Job Search identifies growth-stage companies through job postings, resolves company profiles, and extracts the most senior decision-maker at each company.

How It Works

Job search is not a standalone search type - it is integrated into LinkedIn Content Search as the Hiring Signals intent category. When a content search runs, hiring signal detection is included automatically. Additional settings let you configure the job search parameters.

1. AI-Generated Role Targets

AutoReach generates job title keywords tailored to your offer using AI, based on your offer description, name, and target audience. Additional niche titles are generated from industry-specific terminology.

Example for a Sales Automation Platform:

• "Sales operations manager"

• "Sales pipeline builder"

• "CRM implementation consultant"

• "VP of sales operations"

Example for HR Analytics:

• "People analytics lead"

• "HR metrics manager"

• "Head of people operations"

2. Job Listing Discovery

For each role target, AutoReach searches LinkedIn Jobs filtered by your offer's preferred locations. Job data includes the job title, company name, location, workplace type (Remote/Hybrid/On-site), and posting date.

3. Company Resolution

After collecting jobs across all role targets, AutoReach deduplicates by company and fetches full company profiles- including industry, staff count, headquarters location, website, and specialties. The list is capped at your configured Max Companies limit.

4. Decision-Maker Discovery

For each company, AutoReach finds employees and selects the most senior decision-maker- prioritizing C-suite, founders, and VPs. One decision-maker per company is extracted to ensure focused outreach.

5. Lead Enrichment and Scoring

Each discovered decision-maker is added to your lead database and queued for enrichment and scoring based on your enrichment settings.

Competitor Customer Detection

When your offer has competitors configured, LinkedIn Job Search automatically discovers competitor customers- companies posting jobs that require experience with competing products. Decision-makers at these companies are extracted and tagged with elevated priority.

This runs automatically as part of the content search pipeline when Hiring Signals is enabled and competitors are defined.

Search Parameters

These are configured within the LinkedIn content search settings:

Parameter	Default	Description
Max Jobs Per Role	100	Max job postings to collect per role target (slider: 25–200)
Max Companies	30	Max companies to process (slider: 10–50)

Best Practices

1. Rely on AI-generated titles. The AI generates domain-specific role targets based on your offer. These yield higher-quality matches than generic titles.

2. Combine with other intent categories. Run Hiring Signals alongside Pain Points or Solution Seeking in a single content search to maximize coverage.

3. Monitor company profiles. The resolved company data (industry, staff count, funding) helps validate whether a company is in your ICP before outreach.

4. Enable Buyer Expansion. Turn on daily recurring to catch new job postings and hiring activity continuously.

5. Leverage competitor customer detection. If you have competitors defined in your offer, this feature automatically finds companies already paying for solutions like yours.

Example Workflow

Offer: "People analytics and HR intelligence platform"

AI generates role targets:

• "Head of People Operations"

• "People Analytics Manager"

• "HR Technology Lead"

Result: Job search finds job postings across the roles, identifies the hiring companies, resolves their profiles (industry, size, HQ), and extracts the most senior decision-maker at each. Competitor customer detection also finds companies hiring for roles requiring experience with competing HR platforms.

Troubleshooting

Getting too many irrelevant job postings?

• Reduce the Max Jobs per Role slider to limit volume

• Reduce the Max Companies slider to focus on the best matches

Decision-makers don't seem relevant?

• AutoReach prioritizes C-suite and VPs. Combine with LinkedIn People Search to find specific roles at companies discovered through job search.

Not finding enough companies?

• Increase the Max Jobs per Role slider

• Check if your target industry actively posts on LinkedIn Jobs
