3 ways to find people on LinkedIn
Title + company search
Find specific roles at specific companies — 'Head of Growth at Series A fintechs in London.' Combines exact title matching with company and geography filters.
Skill + experience search
Target people by skill endorsements, years of experience, and career trajectory. Useful for recruiting niche roles or sales prospecting based on tech stack signals.
School + alumni search
Find alumni of specific universities or programs — powerful for recruitment, alumni marketing, and relationship-based outreach.
Filters that narrow millions to dozens
Title keywords
Exact-phrase or fuzzy title matching. Combine multiple titles ('Head of Growth' OR 'VP Marketing' OR 'CMO') in a single search.
Seniority
Entry, Mid, Senior, Manager, Director, VP, C-Suite. Crucial for recruiters avoiding individual contributors or salespeople avoiding non-decision-makers.
Function
Marketing, Engineering, Sales, Finance, Operations, HR, and more — LinkedIn's native function taxonomy so you don't waste budget on misfits.
Industry & company
Filter by current employer, past employers, company size, or specific industries. Great for finding ex-Big-Tech founders or people who worked at competitors.
Geography & relocation
Current location, past locations, or open-to-relocate signal. Tight geography for local sales, loose geography for remote roles.
Open-to-work signal
LinkedIn's #OpenToWork flag surfaces candidates actively looking. Layer with skill + seniority filters for focused recruitment outreach.
Who uses LinkedIn profile search
Recruiters sourcing for specific roles
Find backend engineers with 5+ years of Go experience in Berlin. Combine title, skill, seniority, and location filters. Open-to-work flag optional but boosts response rates.
Sales teams selling to people (not just companies)
Targeting 'Head of RevOps' at 100-500 person SaaS companies? Skip the company search — go directly to the people and score by role + tenure + company signals.
Alumni and community outreach
Reach alumni of a specific school or program for fundraising, mentorship, or community building. Combine school filter with industry and geography for targeted lists.
Competitor talent mapping
Who works at a competitor in a given function? Surface the full org chart by function and seniority. Useful for competitive intel and talent poaching.

How LinkedIn profile search works
Describe the person you want
'Marketing VPs at Series B SaaS companies in Europe, open to work, who have 'growth' or 'demand gen' in their title history.' Plain language, not boolean.
Profile pull with filter layering
LodeLeads scrapes LinkedIn's people graph against your title, function, seniority, and location filters — then enriches each profile with company context and open-to-work signals.
Off-brief profiles cut, rest ranked
Profiles outside your seniority, function, or geography filters are cut before delivery. What arrives is ranked by match strength — best-fit first.
Export and start outreach
Ranked list to Sheets, Excel, or CSV — name, title, company, location, skills, open-to-work flag, and a personalized outreach angle per profile.
