A LinkedIn people finder: find someone by name and company, or a link.
Type a name, or paste a link
A first and last name works, and a name and company finds the right one when the name is common. A profile link opens the profile straight away.
- A full name, or a name and company
- A profile link, or just the slug
- A job title and a place, for everyone who fits
Read the people who match
The people who match come back with the name, the headline, the company, the place, and a link to the profile, so you can tell in one pass whether the search was right.
- Name, headline, company and place
- A direct link to each profile
- Saved to your BeReach list

Pro tip: write it the way you would say it Plain words work best. There is no special syntax to learn: no quotes, no AND or OR, no brackets.
Say the job the way people say it: head of sales, finance director, recruiter. The tool writes the job titles people actually put on their profile, and shows you which ones it used.
Add the country, like sales directors in Germany. The job titles are then written in the languages people use there.
Ask for one kind of person in each search. For the people at a company you already have in mind, use who works at a company. To start from your ideal customer instead, find decision makers from your ICP with the B2B lead finder.
Finance directors at logistics companies, not finance directors alone. Naming the kind of company changes the result more than anything else.
Add a size in words, like companies of 50 to 200.
Add "no agencies", or nobody at two companies you name. They stay out of the list.
Search LinkedIn by name, job title or company
Sales prospecting
Describe the decision-makers you sell to, like sales directors in Germany, and get the people who match instead of scrolling a feed.
Recruiting and sourcing
Search by role and country, and see who does that job there, with a link to each profile.
Partnerships
Find the people who run partnerships in your market, by the job title they actually use rather than by guessing at the switchboard.
Account-based marketing
Inside one target account, name the company and read the people who work there, so you find the buying committee, not just the first name that comes up.
Event and webinar invites
Build the invite list for a talk or a launch from the roles you actually want in the room.
Market research
Read how a market is staffed: which job titles people there actually use, and in which languages.
Other ways to search people on LinkedIn, compared
LinkedIn's own search
You sign in, type a name in the search bar and pick People, then filter by company, location or school. On a free account, LinkedIn caps people search each month and does not publish the number.
A search engine
Search the name, the company and the word LinkedIn, signed out. It finds public profiles but has no filters, results can be out of date, and a common name needs a company or a city to land on the right person.
Sales Navigator
LinkedIn's paid search for sellers: more filters, such as seniority and company size, and more searches each month. You sign in to use it.
This people search
Free, with no LinkedIn sign-in. A name, a name and company, a profile link, or a job title and a place in plain words, and each match comes back with name, headline, company, place and a link to the profile.
Common questions.
Can I paste a LinkedIn profile link instead of a name?
Yes. Paste it in the same box and you read the profile straight away: the headline, experience and education, and nobody is notified. It is the same box as the LinkedIn profile viewer.
Can I find someone on LinkedIn by name and company for free?
Yes. Type their first and last name and their company, pick the right person from the matches, and read their LinkedIn profile.
Can I search LinkedIn by first and last name?
Yes. Type the full name, and add the company when the name is common. For everyone with a job title, describe them in plain words, the job and the country, and the people who match come back, each with their headline, company, location, and a link to their profile.
Can I search for people on LinkedIn without an account?
Without a LinkedIn account, yes: you never sign in to LinkedIn here. It takes a free BeReach account, made in seconds. The other free tools that work without a login are in our roundup of free AI tools for LinkedIn.
Will someone know I searched for them?
No. A search notifies nobody, and reading a profile here leaves nothing in their list of who viewed their profile.
Why can't I find someone on LinkedIn?
Usually one of three reasons: the person hid their public profile, or never made one; they go by another spelling, a nickname or a former surname; or the name is common and needs their company or city beside it. Capitals, accents and a middle initial do not matter here. A profile that is not public cannot be found here at all.
Can I find someone without knowing their name?
Yes, when you know the job and the company: ask for the head of finance at a company you name, and the people in that seat come back, each with a link to their profile. For everyone with a job title in a market, describe the job and the country instead.
Can I find someone on LinkedIn by email address?
No. It searches by name, company, job title or profile link, not by email address. Going the other way, from a person to their work email, is what AI people search in Claude does.
Is it a LinkedIn profile finder?
Yes. Type a name, a name and company, or a link, and it finds their LinkedIn profile. Describe a job title and a place, and it finds everyone who fits, each with a link.
Can I search LinkedIn by job title or by company?
Yes. By job title, write the job the way you would say it, like marketing manager or head of finance. By company, start from the account, as the last question below explains. To find a whole market by description, with work emails, use AI people search in Claude. If you are weighing a contact database, see the Apollo alternatives for LinkedIn outreach.
Can I filter by location?
Yes. Name the country in your search, like marketing managers in Spain, and the job titles are written in the languages people use there.
Can I search LinkedIn by name in the UK?
Yes, in the UK or any other country. Type the full name with the town or the country beside it, like a name followed by London, and the person is looked for there. A name with the company they work at lands fastest.
Do I need Boolean operators?
No. Write the search the way you would say it to a colleague. There are no quotes, AND, OR or brackets to learn.
Can I keep the results?
Yes. Every person you find is saved to your BeReach list, and you can copy it into Google Sheets in one click.
How specific should my search be?
Name the job, the kind of company and the country, and add a size or who to leave out when it matters. The search tips show each one.
Can I find people who posted about a topic, or used to work somewhere?
Yes, ask your agent in the same words: people posting about switching payroll software this month (or use post search for the posts themselves), or former HubSpot people now in sales in Amsterdam. Each person comes back with the post, or the past role, that put them on the list.
How much can I search for free?
It is free to search. Your agent finds the people and saves them to your BeReach list.
Does it count against LinkedIn's monthly search limit?
No. You never sign in to LinkedIn here, so it uses none of your LinkedIn searches. LinkedIn caps people search on a free account each month and resets the count on the 1st, as the commercial use limit explains.
How do I check who I already know?
Search finds people outside your network. To read the ones already inside it, get a copy of your own contacts and look there first, because a warm introduction beats a cold one. One step further out, the people LinkedIn suggests to you are the ones you share a connection with and have not added yet. The app lists them too, under LinkedIn suggestions.
What if I only have a company, not a name?
Start from the account instead: describe the companies by industry and location in the B2B lead finder to find the business first, and who works at a company reads the people inside one you have already chosen.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser, on a phone as on a computer, with nothing to install and no app to download.
Type a name, a company or a link.
