What this Actor does

Give it LinkedIn company URLs. The Actor reads LinkedIn's own company insights and returns a hiring-pulse score per account, built from:

• Headcount growth — total employees and the change over LinkedIn's reported windows.
• Hiring trend — monthly hire counts and whether the most recent month is up, flat, or down.
• Open roles by function — where the company is adding headcount right now.
• Median employee tenure and alumni count — stability and churn context.

Growth means budget, new initiatives, and new decision-makers. This Actor turns that into a ranked account list.

It uses public data only, requires no cookies and no login.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
company_urls	string[]	Yes	LinkedIn company page URLs or slugs to score

Example:

{
  "company_urls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-1",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-2"
  ]
}

How to use it

1. Paste the accounts you want to watch (a target list, a competitor set, or your pipeline).
2. Click Start.
3. Sort by hiringScore — the accounts at the top are growing fastest.
4. Schedule it weekly to catch the moment an account tips into a buying window.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.05
Company scored	$0.05

You pay per company scored. A weekly run over 100 target accounts is about $5.05.

Common uses

• Buying-window detection — growth is the earliest visible signal of new budget.
• Territory prioritisation — rank a territory by who is actually expanding.
• Competitive monitoring — watch a rival's hiring to read their roadmap.
• Recruiting intelligence — see where a company is adding headcount, and in which functions.

Limits

• Insights are LinkedIn's own reported trends and can lag reality.
• A company LinkedIn does not track well returns thin insights; the row still appears with whatever was available.
• hiringScore is a relative ranking aid, not a forecast.
• Open roles are aggregated by function, not individual postings.

Automation

Run from the Apify API, schedules, or webhooks. Download the same dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
