ContactGraphLinkedIn network search
Search your LinkedIn network — without LinkedIn's limits.
LinkedIn network search in ContactGraph merges your LinkedIn connections with phone contacts, enriches them with current data, and matches them to open jobs — so you find intro opportunities LinkedIn cannot show you.
How it works
How LinkedIn network search works in ContactGraph
01
Export your LinkedIn connections
Download your connections as a .csv from LinkedIn settings — a one-time export that takes about five minutes.
02
Merge with phone contacts
ContactGraph deduplicates and merges LinkedIn connections with your phone contacts into one unified, searchable graph.
03
Search beyond LinkedIn's UI
Search by company, role, or industry across your full merged network — not just what LinkedIn's connection search returns.
04
Find jobs with LinkedIn paths
Open roles are matched to companies where your LinkedIn connections (and phone contacts) work — ranked by relationship strength.
Benefits
Why search LinkedIn connections in ContactGraph
Beyond LinkedIn's search limits
LinkedIn restricts how you can search connections and hides weak ties. ContactGraph searches your full exported network without platform limits.
Phone contacts included
Your strongest professional relationships are often in your phone, not on LinkedIn. ContactGraph searches both together.
Matched to live jobs
LinkedIn shows you who works where. ContactGraph also shows you which of those companies have open roles right now.
Use cases
When LinkedIn network search is not enough
- Finding intro paths at target companies. Before applying, search who in your LinkedIn network works at your target employer — and whether they are strong enough to ask.
- Job search without LinkedIn Premium. ContactGraph gives you network search and job matching without a LinkedIn subscription.
- Connecting AI to your LinkedIn network. Export once and connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to search your LinkedIn connections programmatically.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need LinkedIn Premium for this?
- No. ContactGraph uses your free LinkedIn connections export (.csv). You do not need Premium, Sales Navigator, or any paid LinkedIn tier.
- Does ContactGraph scrape LinkedIn?
- No. You export your connections manually once. ContactGraph never logs into LinkedIn or automates any actions on the platform.
- Can I still use LinkedIn alongside ContactGraph?
- Yes. ContactGraph complements LinkedIn — it gives you a searchable, enriched copy of your network that LinkedIn's own search cannot provide.
- Is my LinkedIn data safe?
- Yes. Your graph is private to you, never shared or sold. ContactGraph is open source — you can verify exactly what happens to your data.
