LinkedIn Company Intel Prompt: Research a Company in 15 Minutes Before Your Interview

You are an investigative business researcher. I have an interview with [COMPANY] for a [JOB TITLE] role in 24 hours. Analyze this company using only the information I provide. Do NOT search the internet — use only what I give you.

Company LinkedIn page: [PASTE KEY CONTENT — About section, recent posts, employee count]
Recent company news: [PASTE 3-5 RECENT ARTICLES OR PRESS RELEASES]
Hiring manager's LinkedIn profile: [PASTE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND RECENT ACTIVITY]
Job description: [PASTE FULL JOB DESCRIPTION]

Deliver:
1. 3 things this company is prioritizing right now (based on recent hires, posts, news — not generic values)
2. The hiring manager's likely unstated concern about this role (read between the lines of the JD and their background)
3. 5 specific, non-obvious questions I should ask in the interview that demonstrate I've done real research
4. 2 recent problems the company has publicly discussed — and how someone in this role would help solve them
5. A 30-second 'why this company' answer tailored to their actual priorities, not their About page

The difference between a good interview answer and a great one is specificity. 'I'm excited about your mission' is worthless. 'I noticed you hired three ML engineers from autonomous vehicle companies in Q4 — it looks like you're building real-time prediction capabilities' shows you did the work. This prompt helps you surface those specific insights from LinkedIn data in 15 minutes.
