# Personal Emails from LinkedIn Profiles for Recruiting

**Use case:** 

Recruiters write to candidates at a personal address, not at the employer they may leave. With personal emails switched on, this task returns the personal mailbox on record next to any work address for each LinkedIn profile URL, with name, title and company. Profiles with nothing on record are free rows. Replace the example URLs with your candidate list.

## Input

```json
{
  "profileUrls": [
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe-example",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-smith-example",
    "https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-garcia-example"
  ],
  "includePersonalEmails": true
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "fullName": {
    "label": "Name",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "companyName": {
    "label": "Company",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "workEmails": {
    "label": "Work emails",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "personalEmails": {
    "label": "Personal emails",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "linkedinUrl": {
    "label": "Profile",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## FAQ

### What does the personal email task return for each candidate?

The personal email task returns the personal mailboxes on record, such as Gmail or Outlook addresses, and any work address at the current employer, with name, title, company and the profile URL.

### Why write to candidates at a personal address?

A candidate reads a personal inbox on their own time, and a message about a new job does not land on the current employer's mail server. The personal email task returns that address when one is on record.

### Which profiles are charged in the personal email task?

With personal emails on, the personal email task counts a profile as found when it has a personal mailbox or a current-employer address. Profiles with neither are free; prices are on the Actor's Pricing tab.

### Can I find candidates first and then their emails?

Search candidates with People Database Search, for example by title, city and career start year, then paste the profile URLs into the personal email task. Neither needs a LinkedIn login.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bsearch/linkedin-email-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
