Finding People Using Domain and LinkedIn URLs

Finding People Using Domain and LinkedIn URLs

 

Step 1: Start with Domain Search 0:00

  • Begin by gathering a list of domains you want to investigate.

  • Use the company search feature:

    • Select the first 10 domains.

    • Click on 'company search' and then 'bulk include domain link'.

    • Add the domains and click 'search'.

    • Save and view the results with company details.

 

Step 2: Find People in Companies 0:30

  • After retrieving the company details, select the companies you are interested in.

  • Click on 'find people' to discover individuals associated with those organizations.

 

Step 3: Direct People Search Option 0:39

  • Alternatively, you can go directly to the people search feature:

    • Use the 'current and past company' filter.

    • Add your domains in the domain link section.

    • Click 'save and search' to view results.

 

Step 4: Understanding Result Discrepancies 1:06

  • Be aware that adding certain domains (e.g., nike.com) may yield more results than expected (e.g., 42 results instead of 11).

  • This is due to multiple companies using the same domain.

 

Step 5: Common Domain Issues 1:28

  • Recognize that common domains (e.g., wordpress.com) can lead to excessive results (e.g., 51,000 companies).

  • Many companies may have subdomains that complicate searches.

 

Step 6: Workaround for Domain Issues 2:24

  • To mitigate the issue of irrelevant results:

    • If you have company LinkedIn URLs, use them instead of domains.

    • In the company search, select 'company social link' and add the LinkedIn URLs.

 

Step 7: Confirming Accurate Results 3:00

  • By using LinkedIn URLs, you should receive accurate results (e.g., exactly 11 results for Nike).

  • This method ensures you find the correct company without irrelevant entries.

 

Step 8: Future Improvements 3:16

  • The team is working on solutions to improve domain search accuracy.

  • For now, using LinkedIn URLs is the recommended workaround.

 

Step 9: Conclusion 3:34
