Tracking the growth of a company’s workforce is key to understanding its development, hiring trends, and overall expansion. With the Extract Company Employee Count action, you can get a detailed analysis of a company’s employee count evolution over time.
This automation provides employee growth metrics for the past 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, along with the current total number of employees.
All you need is the company ID to begin. Once set up, you’ll receive an up-to-date employee count dataset, which can be vital for lead qualification, market research, or understanding a company’s growth trajectory.
What this action gives you
- Workforce evolution metrics over multiple time frames: 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

How does this action work?
The Extract Company Employee Count action automates the process of collecting employee growth data from a company. Here’s how:
- Create a Free Captain Data Account – Get started by signing up.
- Provide the Company ID – Input the company identifier (via platform or CSV).
- Configure Your Workflow – Set up filters and parameters to track the number of employees across different timeframes (6M, 1Y, 2Y).

How to leverage this action’s output?
By extracting employee count data, you gain deep insights into a company’s hiring patterns and growth trends, helping you refine your sales and research strategies:
- Qualify Leads More Effectively – Use workforce size and growth data to prioritize accounts that match your ICP.
- Spot High-Growth Companies – Rapid employee growth may indicate expansion and higher intent to purchase solutions.
- Understand Market Trends – Track how workforces in specific industries evolve to predict opportunities or risks.
- Segment Accounts Strategically – Differentiate between fast-scaling companies and more stable organizations to adapt your outreach approach.
Example: if a company doubled its headcount in the past year, it’s likely in an aggressive expansion phase — making them more open to new technologies or services.
Conversely, flat or declining employee counts may indicate stability or downsizing, guiding you to adapt messaging accordingly.
