LeadBird Approach

linkedin message

Sarah Jennings

VP of Sales at TechCorp

Hey [[FirstName]] — saw [[Company]] just posted a [[Role]] position. A lot of teams in your space bring us in to handle outbound while the new hire ramps up. Instead of waiting 3 months for the new rep to ramp, we can start filling your pipeline this week. Worth a quick chat?

How To Set It Up

1

Build job keyword sets and scrape weekly

LinkedIn results are capped; break searches into smaller sets; filter "past 7 days"; run weekly.

2

Split job posts by whether hiring manager is listed

If "Posted by [[Name]]" exists, outreach directly; else expand from company to correct leader.

3

Expand to decision makers based on company size

Small: Founder/CEO. Mid: Head/Director. Large: VP/Director/Head of department.

4

Remove recruiters and HR roles

Exclude Talent Acquisition, Recruiter, HR before campaign push.

5

Route channels

Email primary; LinkedIn InMail strong due to public context.

Summary

Scrape weekly jobs (past 7 days), expand to the right decision makers, exclude recruiters, enrich, and run contextual outreach anchored to the job post.
