Exporting LinkedIn Recruiter Contacts: Tips and Solutions

Hi All, has anyone managed to figure a way to push linked in contacts form a linkedin RECRUITER search? I know that it can be done easily with Sales Navigator but i need to be able to export contacts out of recruiter. The best solution i have at the moment is to scrape the contacts usign Linked Helepr but i hate messing with CSV’s

Carl W. you could use texau.com to scrape linkedin reruiter lite search & push it out via a outgoing webhook to clay.

Yeah, LinkedIn Recruiter makes it trickier than Sales Nav, but you’re not alone lots of people run into this. Using Linked Helper is probably the easiest workaround right now, but yeah, CSVs can be a pain. One option is to connect Linked Helper with Google Sheets via Zapier or Integromat (Make.com) to skip the manual CSV stuff. That way scraped contacts go straight into a live sheet or even into your CRM. Haven’t seen a clean native solution yet, but this setup at least cuts out the CSV mess. Want help setting that up?

Good workaround, Moon – but we actually don’t need Make or Zapier to connect Helper with Google Sheets. We can connect Helper with appscript in google sheet for free The only issue is that Helper’s webhook sends one contact/lead per second to the sheet, which makes the process slow. So for now, CSV import is still the better option according to my opinion

Totally fair yeah, that one lead-per-second limit is definitely a bottleneck if you're trying to move volume. I like the App Script route too, especially since it's free and cuts out middle tools. That said, if you're just running smaller batches or need it live streamed into a sheet for enrichment or filtering in real time, it’s still super useful. Long term, though, yeah batching with CSV still wins for speed. Curious, are you doing any auto-enrichment once the data lands in the sheet?
