Add workforce growth trends to competitor research
See how the companies you follow are changing over time by pairing competitor research with headcount history.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch headcount by facet timeseries
Retrieves headcount data over time, grouped by selected facets.
Why this helps
Competitor analysis often misses organizational momentum, and looking up workforce changes separately is easy to put off.
- Add a workforce trend view to recurring competitor research.
- Review headcount changes over time for a defined set of companies.
- Keep the scope and any data limitations visible in each report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Crustdata once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the companies from your specified Ahrefs competitor research and retrieve Crustdata headcount facet timeseries, noting missing companies or dates.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor scope and review the timeseries results.
Questions about this workflow
Does this show exact employee rosters?
No. The action retrieves headcount timeseries with facet analysis. It is for workforce trend analysis, not individual employee lookup.
What if Ahrefs research does not identify company names?
The report should flag that a usable company scope is missing. Provide the competitor set or another clear scope in your instruction.
