🔍 Competitor Employee Database Builder - Complete Team Intelligence
Build a comprehensive enriched database of all employees from any competitor company. Automatically extract names, titles, locations, skills, contact information, and LinkedIn profiles for hundreds of employees in batches.
About this workflow
Understanding your competitors' teams is crucial for strategic planning, whether you're building sales target lists, mapping talent for recruiting, or conducting market research. Manually gathering employee data from LinkedIn is tedious and time-consuming, especially for companies with hundreds or thousands of employees.
This workflow automates the entire process of building a competitor employee database. Simply enter a company name, and the workflow automatically finds the company's LinkedIn page, extracts all employee profiles, and enriches each one with detailed information including job titles, locations, skills, contact details, and career history—all saved directly to Google Sheets.
The workflow processes employees in smart batches with built-in rate limiting to ensure reliable data extraction. Whether you're analyzing a 50-person startup or a 500+ employee enterprise, this workflow scales to deliver complete team intelligence with full profile enrichment for every employee.
Step-by-step guide
Set up this workflow in minutes with these simple steps
Get your LinkFinder AI API key
Sign up at linkfinderai.com and get your API key. You'll need this to enable the company lookup, employee extraction, and profile enrichment services.
Import the workflow to n8n
Download the JSON file and import it into your n8n instance. Replace ENTER_API_KEY in all three LinkFinder AI nodes with your actual API key.
Configure your target company
Edit the "Set Company Name" node and enter the company you want to analyze (e.g., "Salesforce", "HubSpot", "Stripe"). Connect your Google Sheets account and create a sheet with the required columns.
Test and activate
Run a test with a smaller company first to verify the workflow. Once validated, you can process larger organizations. The batch processing ensures smooth handling of hundreds of profiles.
Review your employee database
Access your Google Sheets to see the complete enriched database with names, job titles, emails, phone numbers, locations, LinkedIn URLs, skills, and headlines for every employee.
