Getting employee count from LinkedIn

Has anyone found a cheap, automated way to get the employee count from the LinkedIn company page into HubSpot. (ZoomInfo is the wrong answer! 😉

 

I have Marketing Hub Professional, so I cannot use webhooks. 

 

I'd prefer the LinkedIn employee count but if you know of other solutions that have a similar, reliable count, I'd also take it. Unfortunately, I have found HubSpot Intelligence employee counts to be too unreliable. Since the territory mapping is based on employee count, it's an important metric for us. 

 

That would be a huge help. Thanks!

Getting employee count from LinkedIn

Hi @marketingchris ,

 

Welcome to the Community!

I did a bit of research about available LinkedIn Integrations and found this Community post (Pulling LinkedIn information into Sales CRM), where our users mention the integration LinkedHub, among other available solutions. 

 

@NFurness , @KTownsend , @Daniel_Bleich do you maybe have any other suggestions? 

 

Thanks, 

Mia.

Thanks for suggesting LinkedHub. It doesn't seem like that is a solution. It's manual (not automated) and copies messages (not account data). 

 

I've been doing some testing with Phantombuster and Integromat, and it seems that I can probably get something together with those solutions. However, it's certainly finicky. I'll post here when I have a solution.

I wasn't able to fully automate this. The best way I found to augment this
at scale was to use Mechanical Turk:

* Download a list of all of your companies
* Create a HIT job on AWS Mechanical Turk asking people to click on the
LinkedIn URL (provided by HubSpot) and to enter the number of employees
into a form field
* Upload the spreadsheet

For 5,000 companies, it was done in a couple of hours. Cost was $0.01 to
the MT worker and $0.01 to AWS.

There are ways to fully automate the MTurk jobs but I never went that
route. If you need to operationalize rather than enrich in batch jobs,
that's the way I'd go.

Today, we pull the # employees from Slintel, which we purchased in the
meantime to solve these and other problems. What's the better option
depends on your budget, timeline and situation.

I also tried PhantomBuster and couldn't find a way to make this job work
reliably.

Did you finally find a good solution?
