# LinkedIn Finder

> Find a person's LinkedIn profile from their name and company.

The **LinkedIn Finder** (sidebar → **LinkedIn finder**) finds the LinkedIn profile of a person
you know by name.

## Find one profile

1. Enter **First name** and **Last name** (required) and **Company** (optional, but it makes the
   match far more reliable).
2. Click **Find LinkedIn**.

The result — **1 profile found** or **No profiles found** — is added to the history with Name,
Title, Company, LinkedIn and Location.

## How a match is decided

Loice takes the **first profile result** of a web search for the person and accepts it only when
that result **states the name you asked for and the company**:

* the displayed name must begin with the first name and end with the last name — so
  *Guru Satya Nadella* never matches *Satya Nadella*;
* the company must appear as the person's employer.

If the first result does not satisfy both, the answer is *No profiles found*. Loice never reaches
past a mismatch to a "better-looking" result further down: that is how a same-name search quietly
returns the wrong person. A wrong match is worse than no match.

## Outcomes

| Outcome | Billed |
| - | - |
| **1 profile found** | Yes |
| **No profiles found** — the search completed | Yes |
| *Enter the person's first and last name.* | No |
| *The matching person is on the do-not-contact list, so the result was withheld.* | No |
| *The search source is busy right now* / a timeout | No |
| *Not enough points for a LinkedIn search.* | No |

A repeated search may be answered from our records and is billed the same as a fresh one.

## Bulk: Import CSV

Click **Import CSV**. Columns map automatically to **First Name**, **Last Name** and **Company**;
up to 500 rows and 2 MB. The batch runs under **Batches** like the
[Email Finder's](https://docs.loice.ai/email-finder.md#bulk-import-csv), and the download adds `loice_linkedin_url` and
`loice_outcome` to your original columns.

> [!TIP]
>
> With a profile URL, the [Email Finder](https://docs.loice.ai/email-finder.md) API's `linkedin` mode finds the person's
> verified work email. API: `POST /api/v1/linkedin-search`. MCP: `find_linkedin_profile`.
