If Apify MCP is available:
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper"
Input:
{
"searchTerms": ["growth marketer", "VP Marketing", "marketing open to work", "content marketing jobs"],
"maxItems": 300,
"tweetLanguage": "en"
}REST API fallback:
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"searchTerms": ["growth marketer", "VP Marketing", "marketing open to work", "content marketing jobs"], "maxItems": 300}'Collect unique author.username from results.
Step 2: Enrich Profiles
If Apify MCP is available:
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~twitter-user-scraper"
Input: {"usernames": ["[username1]", "[username2]", "..."]}REST API fallback:
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~twitter-user-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"usernames": ["handle1", "handle2"]}'Step 3: Filter and Score
Skill confirmation: bio contains keywords: "growth", "marketing", "CMO", "demand gen", "content", "SEO", "paid media", "lifecycle", "GTM"
thought_leader_signal = followerCount > 1000 AND tweets in last 30 days about marketing topics
Candidate score:
candidate_score = (skill_confirmed ? 1 : 0) * 0.35
+ (open_to_work_signal ? 1 : 0) * 0.30
+ (followerCount in 200..20000 ? 1 : 0.6) * 0.20
+ (tweeted_in_last_30_days ? 1 : 0) * 0.15Activity: active (< 30 days) | passive (30–90 days) | dormant (> 90 days)
Step 4: Edge Cases
- Company/brand accounts in results: Filter where
followerCount > 50KAND bio contains no personal pronouns; these are likely brand accounts - < 20 candidates found: Broaden skill term; remove location or seniority filter; try adjacent skills
- Bot detection: Flag
followerCount / followingCount < 0.05ANDtweetsCount < 20as potential bot - Location not matching: Bio location is free text — use fuzzy match; accept partial city/country names

## Bio Highlights (Top 5)
1. @[handle]: "[bio excerpt]"Troubleshooting
All results are agencies/companies not individuals: Add personal pronouns filter or search "I am a [role]", "I do [skill]". Role too generic returns too many results: Add location OR seniority qualifier. No open-to-work signals: Most candidates don't signal publicly — treat passive candidates as warm leads with personalized outreach referencing their recent content.
