I’m looking to identify new “Open to Work” candidates in my LinkedIn talent pool for my projects. When I run a search and see 2000 results, I want the option to filter the next search to show only those who have recently marked themselves as “Open to Work” within the past week. I’ve attempted this using LinkedIn Recruiter, but it doesn’t allow exporting to Excel for an XLOOKUP. Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you’re looking for a way to efficiently track new “Open to Work” candidates in your talent pool on LinkedIn Recruiter. Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn’t offer a direct filter to show only those candidates who have newly updated their “Open to Work” status within a specific timeframe. However, here are a few strategies you might consider:
Saved Searches: Use the saved searches feature in LinkedIn Recruiter to receive alerts for new candidates who match your criteria. While this won’t limit your view to only new candidates, it will notify you of any updates.
Manual Tracking: If you’re able to capture the candidates when you first run your search, you might consider manually noting down their names or keeping a simple spreadsheet. When you run your search the next week, you can manually compare the lists to identify new candidates.
Utilize Tags: If you have the ability to tag candidates in LinkedIn Recruiter, consider tagging those you identify as “Open to Work”. Then, during your follow-up searches, you can filter by these tags.
Regular Updates: Schedule regular updates to your talent pool and refresh your searches more frequently, which could help you identify newer candidates faster.
Feedback to LinkedIn: You might also consider providing feedback to LinkedIn about this feature request. User feedback can help influence the development of new features in their products.
For the export issue, while LinkedIn does limit the data export options, you may consider using various data extraction tools available, but ensure that you comply with LinkedIn’s terms of service when doing so.
I hope these suggestions help you refine your search for new “Open to Work” candidates!
