I’m looking to discover new “open to work” candidates in my LinkedIn talent pool for my projects. When I conduct a search and find 2,000 profiles, I want my next search the following week to only display the new “open to work” individuals from that week. I’ve tried using LinkedIn Recruiter but unfortunately, it doesn’t allow me to export to Excel for an XLOOKUP. Any suggestions?

To effectively identify new “open to work” candidates for your talent pool on LinkedIn, you can use the following strategies:
Advanced Search Filters: Utilize LinkedIn’s advanced search filters to narrow down your results. Set a filter for “Open to Work” to see candidates who have recently updated their status. While this won’t automatically show you only new candidates since your last search, it will help you identify those currently seeking opportunities.
Save Searches: You can save your search criteria in LinkedIn Recruiter. While it won’t give you a dynamic list of new candidates each time, you can return to your saved search and see any new profiles that match your criteria since your last visit.
Set Up Alerts: If you’re using LinkedIn Recruiter, consider setting up alerts for new candidates who match your criteria. This can help you stay updated with fresh profiles that enter the “open to work” category.
Manual Tracking: Although it’s more manual, you could record the profiles you view in a separate document or spreadsheet. This way, you can easily compare new candidates against your previous lists.
Third-Party Tools: Consider using third-party recruitment tools or platforms that might offer better exported data functionalities to compare your lists more easily.
Regularly Updating Your Searches: Make it a routine to run your searches weekly or bi-weekly, checking back to see who has recently added the “open to work” status.
Unfortunately, LinkedIn’s export limitations can be a hindrance, but by leveraging these methods, you should be able to effectively track and identify new “open to work” candidates!
