For Recruiters
Build a reviewable contact research list for a hiring assignment. Start from relevant professional profiles or an available public audience, collect the fields the source returns, and retain each profile URL. Octrieve organizes contact data; a returned profile is not a verified candidate, an expression of interest, or a hiring recommendation.
Write the role brief and select relevant professional sources yourself. An account audience or a hashtag can contain peers, vendors, and unrelated profiles; it is not a list of applicants.
Use Profile URL to check identity and source context. A common name or a keyword in a bio does not establish current employment, a qualification, or interest in moving jobs.
Some profiles publish no email. Keep an empty field empty rather than guessing a personal address. The requested email limit is a stopping target, not a guaranteed result count.
Map the actual CSV columns, remove duplicates across research files, review your suppression records, and keep human review before any outreach or hiring decision.
#01
Use the role brief to assemble a small, relevant set of professional profiles or public sources. Open the LinkedIn dashboard and choose an available mode. Account modes take an account, post modes a public post URL, hashtag mode a topic, and custom lists a set of accounts. There is no verified job-title or country filter in this workflow.
#02
Set a limit within your allowance and inspect the job status. Paid bio filters match text; they do not confirm skills or employer. Check whether the job used a live provider, imported records, or demonstration data, and review the returned profile URLs.
#03
Export the full CSV to preserve profile identity, available email, bio, location, Profile URL, counts, Email source, and Validation. There are no dedicated Company or Job title columns and no direct ATS integration promised here. Add any separately verified fields in your recruiting system and preserve provenance.
Keep the contact field, its original profile, and the work still needed to qualify the record together. These eleven export columns document source data; they do not score candidates or establish hiring suitability.
| CSV field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Username, Name, Profile URL | Profile identity and a link for reviewing the source. Names can be missing. |
| Addresses exposed in the available source. More than one address is separated with a semicolon; the field can be empty. | |
| Bio, Location | Source text, when available. A location is a profile statement, not a verified country filter. |
| Followers, Following, Tweets | Available profile counts. Unsupported counts can be zero; they are not quality scores. |
| Email source, Validation | Provenance plus format_only. A format check does not establish mailbox existence, consent, or deliverability. |

Features
For a specialist role, begin with a small list of professional profiles you can inspect. Use available account, public post, hashtag, or custom-list modes to organize source data. Review each returned profile against the role brief; the software does not validate qualifications, availability, work authorization, or hiring suitability.
No per-email charges: collect up to your plan's monthly email allowance, from 300 on Free to 30,000 on Max.
Where available, a paid bio keyword filter narrows text matches. Confirm the meaning in the original profile instead of turning the match into a verified skill or job-title field.
Review completion, partial results, and available source details in the dashboard. An audience mode does not establish complete platform coverage.
Keep Name, Bio, Location, and Profile URL beside an email. Location is source text, not a verified country or a signal of hiring eligibility.
Download the full CSV or email-only file. The email-only export removes source context, so retain a full research copy before preparing an ATS import.
The format_only label describes syntax checking. It does not establish mailbox existence, deliverability, a candidate relationship, or permission to contact someone.
No. It organizes available profile and contact fields from a selected source. You define relevance and review identity, qualifications, current employment, and interest separately. A bio keyword match is not a candidate assessment.
Check the workflow and current account allowance, then evaluate the source and export before expanding your research.
