Alternative Solutions to Enhance LinkedIn Profile Search and Workarounds for Automation Constraints

·

# LinkedIn Profile Search # Does anyone have an alternative or workaround for this? I find the built-in Clay search is limited. I know Phantom Buster would get better results but it is using my profile and I've known first-hand how strict LinkedIn can be about automation and scaping. What solutions/workaround are people implementing?

Hi Owen, thanks for getting in touch! Which LI search are you trying to pull?

Juan P. I encounter the same problem with companies and people when using the native LinkedIn search within Clay. No specific list as it's the same for every search.

Its has his limitations, as you said Clay is not using your profile to scrape data

Juan P. do you know what other users are doing to work around that limitation?

You can always use different search parameters and merge them through a csv, or just upload the csv with a list from a 3rd party

Owen L. I use the Sales Nav search instead and import data using another tool. Can do thousands that way.

I'm starting with a company Reyhan K. and trying to get the employees. I think the Sales Nav search is only for starting a table.
