Finding Candidates Through LinkedIn Activity

Active candidates respond. This workflow finds people who are not just a title match but visibly engaged, posting and building in your space right now. It mirrors how agentic recruiting customers run it: fetch a wide pool, narrow on signal, enrich only the finalists.

The workflow, step by step

1. 1
   Search people by role and seniorityUse People Search with current_employers.title and current_employers.seniority_level (Senior, Director, and so on). A search for senior backend engineers in the US returns 1,200+ matches live.
2. 2
   Filter to recent activityNarrow to people posting about your topic with Social keyword search, so you reach builders who are active, not dormant profiles.
3. 3
   Enrich the shortlistPull verified personal emails and phones for the top profiles, only after you have narrowed, to keep credits on the people you will actually contact.
