LinkedIn Profile Search - Find People by Title & City

Find LinkedIn profiles by job title, company, industry and location without a LinkedIn account, without cookies and without the Sales Navigator. Type searches such as "head of marketing" in Madrid or "CTO fintech" in London, and the Actor returns one row per person found: name, headline, current company, education, location, connections and profile URL. Build prospect lists, recruiting pipelines and market maps in minutes, then enrich them with LinkedIn Profile Scraper.

The Actor searches the public web for LinkedIn profiles (no LinkedIn login involved), so your own account is never at risk. You pay $0.002 per profile found.

What you get

One Dataset row per profile:

• name, headline (job title and company as the person writes it).
• currentCompany, education, location: read from the search snippet, in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and more.
• connections, countryCode (from the LinkedIn country domain).
• profileUrl: clean https://www.linkedin.com/in/... link, ready for LinkedIn Profile Scraper.
• snippet: the text the search engine shows for the profile.
• query, searchLocation, position.
• isNew: true for people who were not in the previous run of the same search.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Type one search per line in Search terms: a job title, a company, an industry or any combination (head of marketing, "CTO" fintech, recruiter Google).
3. Optionally set a Location that is added to every search (Madrid, "United Kingdom").
4. Set Max profiles per search (up to 30) and click Start.
5. Export the rows, or schedule the search weekly to get only the new people (isNew: true).

Each search returns up to 30 profiles. For bigger lists, add more searches: other cities, other titles, other companies.

FAQ

Do I need a LinkedIn account? No. The Actor finds public LinkedIn profiles through a web search engine.

Why are some fields empty? Company, education and location come from the search snippet, which varies per profile. Run the URLs through LinkedIn Profile Scraper for the full profile.

Why does a result mention another city? The search engine matches words anywhere in the profile (for example a surname). Put the location in quotes for stricter matches.

Is it legal? It reads only public data. You are responsible for using personal data lawfully (for example GDPR in the EU).
