Workflow
The author used Hermes Agent to automate lead generation for B2B SaaS companies hiring DevOps engineers. The workflow involves defining a tight Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), searching public sources for candidates, enriching them with web context, and scoring them against qualification rules. The agent outputs structured data with reasoning for each lead, while a human reviews edge cases and finalizes outreach priorities.
Reported result
The source does not report specific measured outcomes, conversion rates, or time savings. It qualitatively describes the system as producing 'better leads' with 'less junk' and more consistent filtering compared to manual methods. No quantitative success metrics are provided.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The system relies on public web data, which may be incomplete or outdated. The author notes that initial scoring rules may miss good leads or include false positives, requiring human review to refine the logic. Integration with specific CRMs is described as a goal but not detailed as a completed automated pipeline.
Try it
Act as a lead generation assistant using Hermes Agent. My goal is to find B2B SaaS companies (20-300 employees) hiring for DevOps or Platform Engineering roles. 1. Define the ICP: [Insert specific ICP criteria here]. 2. Search public sources for candidate companies and contacts matching this ICP. 3. Enrich each candidate by fetching their hiring pages, engineering blogs, or LinkedIn profiles to identify signals like 'hiring for SRE' or 'infrastructure complexity'. 4. Score each lead based on fit and confidence, providing a reason for the score. 5. Output a structured JSON list with fields: company, contact, role, signal, score, confidence, reason. 6. Flag any leads with low confidence or ambiguous signals for human review. First, perform a dry run on 3 sample companies. Show me the output format and reasoning. Do not send any outreach messages. Wait for my confirmation before processing the full list.
