Find people from a LinkedIn Recruiter search in Clay
To import people from a LinkedIn Recruiter search into Clay, you can use a Chrome extension like Upcell.io to add contacts directly from LinkedIn to Clay with one click—no manual data entry required. Install the extension, find your ideal contacts in LinkedIn Recruiter, and use the extension to send their profile data straight into your Clay table for enrichment and outreach. This streamlines the process and keeps your data organized in Clay. Alternatively, you can integrate LinkedIn data into Clay using available integrations or by importing lists of leads from LinkedIn if you have access to their API. This allows you to leverage Clay’s enrichment features for comprehensive prospecting. For best results, ensure you have a list of companies or LinkedIn profile URLs in Clay, then use the Find People feature to filter and import the right contacts based on your criteria.
Is there a way to do a direct import of a search string, similar to Sales nav?
There is no direct way to import a LinkedIn Recruiter search string into Clay like you can with a Sales Navigator search URL. Clay supports importing Sales Navigator searches by pasting the search URL into the "External List" method in the Find People feature, but this method is not available for LinkedIn Recruiter searches—only Sales Navigator URLs are supported for direct import. For LinkedIn Recruiter, you can use tools like the Upcell.io Chrome extension to add individual profiles from LinkedIn directly into Clay with a single click, but this is not a bulk import of a search string.
So my only options are to scrape a list using another tool (like FinalScout) and import THAT list into Clay?
You cannot directly import a LinkedIn Recruiter search into Clay like you can with Sales Navigator. Your main options are: ** Use a Chrome extension such as Clip to Clay or Upcell.io to add individual LinkedIn profiles to Clay with a single click as you browse them in Recruiter. This is not a bulk import, but it streamlines adding contacts one by one for enrichment in Clay. ** Alternatively, you can use Claygent, our AI web scraper, to extract data from LinkedIn profiles and bring it into Clay. If you want to import a bulk list, you would need to use a third-party tool to scrape the list from LinkedIn Recruiter and then import that data into Clay.
