ContactGraphcareer network search
Search your whole career network — not just LinkedIn.
Career network search across phone contacts, LinkedIn connections, and shared graphs — enriched with current employer and role data so you find the strongest path to any company.
How it works
How career network search works
01
Unify your contacts
Phone contacts and LinkedIn connections live in separate silos. ContactGraph merges them into one graph with deduplication and enrichment.
02
Enrich with current data
Public web data fills in current employer, role, and industry for each contact — including people you have not spoken to in years.
03
Search by company, role, or industry
Ask who you know at Stripe, who works in product management, or who is in fintech — and get instant answers from your real network.
04
Borrow trusted friends' networks
Share graphs with trusted friends and search second-degree connections for paths into companies none of you could reach alone.
Benefits
Why unified career network search matters
No more siloed searching
Stop scrolling LinkedIn for an hour to find one connection. Search your entire professional network in seconds.
Stale data, refreshed
That contact from 2019 may now be a VP at your target company. Enrichment keeps your graph current without manual updates.
Second-degree reach
When your direct network is not enough, search trusted friends' shared graphs for intro paths you would never find alone.
Use cases
When to use career network search
- Targeting a specific company. Before applying anywhere, search who you know there — and what role they hold — to decide whether a warm path exists.
- Exploring a new industry. Search your graph by industry tag to find contacts already working in the space you want to enter.
- Coordinated job hunts. Laid off with colleagues? Pool your networks and search as a group to cover more employers with warm paths.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What sources does career network search include?
- Your phone contacts (.vcf export) and LinkedIn connections (.csv export). ContactGraph merges and deduplicates them, then enriches with public web data.
- Can I search by job title or industry?
- Yes. Search by company name, role, industry tag, or person name. ContactGraph returns matches from your graph ranked by relationship strength.
- Does ContactGraph replace LinkedIn search?
- For finding who you actually know, yes. ContactGraph focuses on real relationships — people in your phone with numbers you can text — not weak LinkedIn connections.
- Who can see my network?
- Only you. Your graph is private by default. You choose explicitly if and when to share it with trusted friends.
