talent-scout
Steal your competitors' best people — scrape LinkedIn, AI-rank candidates, and generate personalized outreach DMs in one command
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/behruamm/talent-scoutWhat This Skill Does
The Talent Scout skill is an elite competitive intelligence agent designed to streamline the recruitment process. By leveraging the talent-scout CLI, it automates the end-to-end workflow of identifying, ranking, and preparing outreach for top-tier talent at competitor organizations. The skill scrapes public LinkedIn employee directory pages, filters candidates by specific job titles, uses AI models (such as OpenAI or Anthropic) to rank candidates based on their professional experience, and generates highly personalized, high-conversion outreach direct messages (DMs). Additionally, it produces a comprehensive team structure brief in PDF format, giving you a strategic advantage by understanding how your competitors organize their engineering or product teams.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/behruamm/talent-scout
Ensure you have your environment variables configured with APIFY_API_KEY for scraping and a compatible LLM provider key (GEMINI_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) for the ranking and generation logic.
Use Cases
- Direct Competitor Analysis: Rapidly map out the top engineering talent at a competitor's organization to identify potential hires.
- Outbound Recruitment: Scale your recruiting team's efforts by automating the creation of personalized, context-aware DMs based on candidate profiles.
- Organizational Intelligence: Use the automated PDF reports to understand the team structures and hierarchies of organizations in your sector.
- Lead Qualification: Quickly filter large lists of employees down to the top 5 "must-hire" candidates using AI-driven scoring.
Example Prompts
- "Use talent-scout to find the top 5 Senior Data Scientists at Databricks and generate personalized recruitment DMs for them."
- "I have a file called raw_candidates.json; please use talent-scout to rank these people and create a PDF summary report."
- "Scrape the product manager team at Stripe and provide a brief on their team structure, but skip the AI ranking for now."
Tips & Limitations
- URL Format: Always ensure your target URL points specifically to the
/people/sub-page of a LinkedIn company profile. - API Limits: Scrapers rely on public data; ensure your Apify settings are configured to respect LinkedIn's rate limits to avoid temporary blocks.
- Customization: While the AI generates drafts, always review the outreach DMs to ensure the tone matches your company culture before sending.
- Maintenance: The skill includes an auto-update feature that checks for repository changes every 7 days; ensure you have proper write permissions to the installation directory to allow this process to run smoothly.
