PhantomBuster is a cloud-based web automation and prospecting platform that turns the web—especially LinkedIn—into structured data and repeatable actions. Launch modular “Phantoms” to scrape profiles/activity, enrich records, and chain multi-step workflows; schedule runs, set limits, and execute safely in the cloud.

Stream results to your stack via real-time webhooks or control everything with the API; monitor runs, logs, and output as you scale. It offers ready-made LinkedIn automations (e.g., profile/activity extractors) and native guides for piping data straight into Clay/CRMs.

For modern recruitment, use it to assemble hiring-manager universes, track engagement signals, watch new job posts, refresh candidate/company intel, and hand off clean leads to Clay and your ATS—while concurrency, throttling, and session hygiene run behind the scenes.

PhantomBuster sits early in the stack as the ingestion + automation layer feeding enrichment and outreach. ‍
