LinkedIn Job Hunting & Outreach Automation with Apify, Gemini & Gmail

This n8n workflow automates end-to-end LinkedIn job hunting and outreach, collecting job postings and decision-maker data, generating personalized AI referral messages, and drafting them in Gmail. It integrates Apify for scraping, Google Sheets for storage, Gemini 2.0 Flash LLM with LangChain for message creation, Anymailfinder for emails, and Gmail API for drafts—saving hours of manual research daily.

The process begins with a Schedule Trigger running daily. Apify actors extract job listings (title, company, location, poster) and decision-maker profiles, which are split, filtered (e.g., by city/company), and stored in dedicated Google Sheets. An LLM Chain then crafts concise (<100 words), personalized messages respecting tone and rules, with output parsed and merged with job/contact data.

Key benefits include scalability for job seekers/recruiters/sales pros, customizable filters, structured data export for CRM integration, and no-code setup (requires Gmail API enablement). It reduces outreach prep from days to minutes, boosting response rates via hyper-personalization.

Use cases: Daily job sourcing and referral requests; building contact databases; targeted networking at scale; sales lead gen from job posters.
