Define the question before the search
For company research, start with an organization, role or location relevant to the task. Check which criteria and fields are available in your account's selected data. A narrower query makes it easier to review relevance and missing information.
Dataset records may be older than the information currently shown on LinkedIn. Do not present an export date as proof that every person's position or employer was verified on that date.
Available research fields
| Field group | Examples | Review point |
|---|---|---|
| Professional identity | Name, title, organization | Check that the record fits the intended research |
| Location and role | City, country, functions, seniority | Understand the dataset's field definitions |
| Source and contact fields | LinkedIn URL, available email/phone fields | Availability and permitted use vary; verify before relying on them |
Review and export a focused set of records
- Select an authorized dataset and the criteria offered by the tool.
- Run a small search and review the fields and relevance of a sample.
- Refine the criteria or use a supported batch file when appropriate.
- Export selected fields to CSV and retain source and verification notes.
Use the right expectation for company research
For example, a team researching suitable organizations can compare available organization, role and city fields before deciding which records deserve further verification. A professional record is not proof of interest in an offer.
This workflow does not collect current job vacancies or visit every public company page. Review LinkedIn's agreement and your dataset permissions; an active LinkedIn account does not create unrestricted automated-copying rights.
Frequently asked questions
Does AuraData scrape LinkedIn live?+
The verified LinkedIn workflow searches authorized datasets. It is not a live profile or company-page crawler.
Does a job-title field mean I can collect job listings?+
No. A person's recorded role is different from an advertised vacancy. A job-listing collector is not a verified feature.
Are email and phone fields guaranteed?+
No. Field coverage depends on the available authorized data and should be checked before use.
