LinkedIn Skill Mapper

Find where a rare skill actually lives — so hard-to-fill roles become findable.

YouTube video coming soon.

What this Actor does

Give it a technology or skill (and optionally a location and industry). The Actor samples the people who have it and returns where it concentrates:

• One row per company, with how many of the sampled people work there and what share of the pool that is.
• A summary row with the total sampled and the top locations.

Instead of guessing which companies to approach for a hard-to-fill role, you see the answer: the companies where the skill actually sits, ranked.

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

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
technology	string	Yes	The skill or technology to map (e.g. Kubernetes, Salesforce, Rust)
keywords	string	No	Extra keywords to narrow the pool
location	string[]	No	City, region, or country
industry	string[]	No	Employer industries
seniority	string[]	No	Optional seniority filter
max_people	integer	No	Hard cap on people sampled — the main cost control (default 100, 1–500)

Example:

{
  "technology": "Kubernetes",
  "location": ["Germany"],
  "max_people": 100
}

How to use it

1. Enter the skill or technology.
2. Optionally scope by location and industry.
3. Click Start.
4. Read the company rows top-down — those are the deepest pools of that skill.

Output

One row per company, plus a summary row:

{
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "checkedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00",
  "insightType": "company_concentration",
  "technology": "Kubernetes",
  "companyName": "Globex",
  "peopleCount": 14,
  "share": 0.14,
  "totalSampled": 100,
  "locations": [],
  "collectedAt": "2026-09-25T10:00:00+00:00"
}

The summary row (insightType: "summary") carries peopleCount = total sampled and locations = the top locations.

The OUTPUT key-value-store record reports the technology, people sampled, companies with the skill, and top locations.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.05
Skill insight	$0.03

You pay per insight row. A 100-person sample producing 30 company rows is about $1.00.

Common uses

• Hard-to-fill roles — find the companies that actually hold the skill.
• Market intelligence — see where a technology's talent clusters geographically.
• Recruiting targeting — approach the deepest pools first.
• Vendor and partner research — map the ecosystem around a technology.

Limits

• Results reflect the searchable index for that skill, not every person who has it.
• share is the share of the sampled pool, not of the whole market.
• Companies with very few sampled people appear lower; raise max_people for a wider read.
• One skill per run.

Automation

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

Feedback and support

Use the Actor's Issues tab for reproducible problems. Include the technology and filters you used, but do not include credentials.

Do I need cookies or a LinkedIn login? No. This Actor reads public data only - no cookies, no account, no browser automation.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or via a webhook, and export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

What if I need a slightly different output? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab describing the shape you need.
