LinkedIn profile search by keyword

Searches LinkedIn people by a free-text query such as a service, skill, or role ("fractional CFO", "machine learning engineer") and returns matching profiles, optionally filtered by location.

Email lookup is available as a paid mode.

When to use it

Use to build a list of people by what they do rather than by name, for prospecting, recruiting, or sizing a talent pool in a given market.

Inputs

LinkedIn profile search by keyword takes 6 fields, 1 of them required. Anything you leave out falls back to the tool's own default.

How to call it

Connect once and your agent can reach LinkedIn profile search by keyword the same way it reaches everything else in the catalog. Add Goro as an MCP connector, or paste the setup line into an agent that reads skills.
