AI Lead Generation & Enrichment — LinkedIn Sourcing, Scoring & Outreach
Turn a job title and location into a fully qualified, outreach-ready lead list — automatically.

This workflow searches LinkedIn for matching profiles via Apify, uses an AI Agent (GPT-4.1) to score each lead as HOT, WARM, or COLD based on availability and skill fit, enriches every lead with a verified email address, and saves everything to a live Google Sheets database.

HOT leads → get a personalized AI-written outreach email and trigger an instant Slack alert to your team
WARM leads → bundled into a Gmail digest for manual review
No manual searching, no generic templates — just a repeatable pipeline from “who are we looking for” to “here’s who to contact first.”

Who This Is For
Recruiters, SDRs, and sourcing teams who need to regularly find and qualify candidates or prospects on LinkedIn by role and location — without spending hours manually screening profiles, hunting for emails, or writing cold outreach from scratch.

Ideal for:

Staffing agencies
B2B sales teams
Solo recruiters / consultants
who want a consistent, AI-driven way to separate strong leads from dead ends and get straight to outreach.

Looking for Feedback
Would love this community’s input as I keep iterating on this and building similar agent-based workflows. If you have suggestions on:

Better ways to structure the AI scoring criteria or prompt
Smarter lead deduplication approaches
Ideas for scaling this beyond a 10-lead test batch
Anything you’d do differently in the enrichment or routing logic
…I’d genuinely appreciate it. Feel free to drop thoughts, alternate approaches, or things you’ve learned building similar sourcing/outreach agents — I’ll use it as reference for my next builds.

Nice workflow. For dedup, hash the profile URL as your unique key. On scaling, add a queue and process in batches. Weighting your scoring criteria might also help.

For email verification on scale, you might try envoapi.com for the enrichment step instead of a separate service. It handles profile data and structured outputs nicely. On deduplication, a simple hash of LinkedIn profile URLs in a lookup table before saving works well for me even at larger batches.
