/v1/actions/recruiterlite-search-people/run/liveSearch LinkedIn Recruiter Lite automates your entire candidate search on LinkedIn Recruiter Lite so you can turn saved projects and filter sets into structured candidate feeds. You get each candidate row — name, headline, profile URL, current role, skills summary — ready to push into your ATS or sourcing CRM. It targets in-house recruiters and sourcing teams that live inside Recruiter Lite and need its results as code-ready data.
The action runs on the Recruiter Lite level and uses your authenticated Recruiter Lite session on Edges.
You pass a Recruiter Lite search URL or a saved project, and Search LinkedIn Recruiter Lite walks the result pages on your behalf. Edges handles pagination, normalizes the rows, and returns a structured array of candidate records with stable IDs.
Every request is signed with your connected Recruiter Lite session and paced within LinkedIn's activity guidance, so your seat stays in good standing. The action supports async execution — the default choice for any multi-page search or scheduled daily pull.
Reach for Search LinkedIn Recruiter Lite when your sourcing happens inside Recruiter Lite and you want its search results as data rather than as a paginated UI. It is the fastest way to drive an ATS sync or a scheduled sourcing feed off the Recruiter filter set you already trust.
For teams whose main jobs-to-be-done are sourcing and enrichment, it plugs into the LinkedIn profile and company data API use case. Recruiters chain it into CRM syncs and enrichment stacks the same way sellers chain LinkedIn people search.
It depends on how deep Recruiter Lite paginates for your search. Well-scoped project queries typically return hundreds to a couple of thousand; very broad queries will hit LinkedIn's pagination ceiling — tighten filters to capture more of the population.
Your Recruiter Lite account. Every search runs through the authenticated session you connect to Edges, and the candidates returned match what your seat would see in the Recruiter Lite UI.
Yes. Feed the profileId of each candidate into Extract LinkedIn Profile, Extract Linkedin User Contact Info, or LinkedIn Inmail Profile to run the full sourcing-to-outreach sequence.
