## FAQ

### What does the recruiting phone number task return?

The recruiting phone number task returns the phone number and type, plus full name, current job title, company, location, country and profile URL for each profile with a number.

### What input do recruiters need to give?

For recruiting outreach, provide the LinkedIn profile URLs on your shortlist. URLs, short URLs and plain slugs all work, and invalid entries are listed as misses.

### How do I run the recruiting phone number task on a schedule or send results to Google Sheets?

Start the recruiting phone number task from the Apify console, API or a schedule, then export the dataset as CSV, JSON or Excel and import it into Google Sheets, or connect an integration.

### How should recruiters plan list size for phone lookups?

Because many profiles have no phone on file, recruiters should start the recruiting phone task with a longer shortlist than the number of calls they need, and use the limit field.

### Does the recruiting phone task show all numbers for a person?

The recruiting phone number task has an all-numbers dataset view beside the overview, so you can see every number on file for a profile and not just the primary one.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bdata/phone-number-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
