Search in Recruiter vs. your personal LinkedIn account

Last updated: 1 year ago

The search bar on LinkedIn.com can be used to search from your personal LinkedIn account.

Once you sign in to LinkedIn Recruiter, the search bar at the top of the page allows you to search within Recruiter. Check out some highlights on Recruiter searches below:

  • You can access Recruiter insights to gain helpful insights into the candidates you’re searching for, such as candidates who are open to new opportunities or candidates who have company connections.

  • You can use advanced search filters to narrow down or expand your search.

  • You can receive up to 1,000 results for each search you run in both Recruiter and in your personal LinkedIn account.
  • Recruiter enables you to collaborate with other license holders on your dashboard, such as sharing notes, messages, and projects.

  • Recruiter will expand your search queries to capture more potential candidates. For example, if you search for "Liz" in Recruiter search, you will see candidates by the name of Liz, Lizzie, Elizabeth, Elisabeth, or any other iteration of the name. Your personal account will search for your exact entry.
