Export LinkedIn people search to CSV
Listful exports classic LinkedIn people search to CSV — profile URL, name, headline, location. Free, no account, no row credits. Open /search/results/people with your filters. Listful ceiling 1,000; LinkedIn often truncates around ~1,000.

01
Why this list
Intent — not a second pitch.
Boolean strings and title filters on free LinkedIn are still how many sourcers and SDRs start. LinkedIn shows a result count and a scrollable list — not a spreadsheet. Listful paginates that same people search into CSV so you can shortlist, share, or stage CRM rows without a credit wall on the export.
02
What LinkedIn won’t give you
Native UI gaps on this surface.
Classic people search has no export. The UI total is a hint; LinkedIn often stops serving pages around ~1,000 results.
03
How it works
Three steps. No funnel.
02
Open people search with your filters
Use /search/results/people. Whatever filters sit in the address bar define the list Listful will paginate.
03
Export from the side panel
Run Export on that tab. Clusters return up to 10 rows per page, up to Listful’s 1,000 ceiling. LinkedIn often stops around that same point.
04
Worked example
A concrete scene.
Setup
A recruiter builds a people search for “staff engineer” + location filters on free LinkedIn. The URL is /search/results/people with keywords in the query string.
Outcome
Listful downloads a CSV of profile rows. The UI said 2,400 results; the file lands closer to ~1,000 because LinkedIn truncated pagination — which the limits guide documents.

Questions.
Short answers on this surface.
Q01Can I export LinkedIn search results without an account?
Yes. The extension alone is enough for CSV — no Listful sign-in and no row credits.
Q02Why is my CSV shorter than LinkedIn’s result count?
LinkedIn often stops returning classic search pages around ~1,000 results. Rows are also deduped by profile URN, so the file can be shorter than the UI total.
Q03What URL do I need?
A people search under /search/results/people with the filters you already applied. The address bar defines the list.
Q04Is Sales Navigator different?
Yes. SN people search is a separate surface with its own URL and ~2,500 typical stop. Use that page if you are on /sales/search/people.
Q05Does Listful scrape LinkedIn?
It paginates a list you already have open. The session stays in the browser; Listful turns payloads into CSV.
Q06Are emails in the CSV?
No. Free columns are profile_url, full_name, headline, and location. Emails need optional enrichment.
Q07Does Listful support Recruiter?
No. Recruiter UIs are out of scope. Use classic people search or Sales Nav people search instead.
Q08Can I export jobs search?
No. Jobs search is not a people export. Company search is also unsupported — open a company People tab instead.
Q09What is Listful’s ceiling if LinkedIn keeps returning pages?
1,000 rows (10 × 100). LinkedIn often stops around that same point, so the file matches what the API returns.
Q10Will this automate InMails or connection requests?
No. Export only — no messaging, no connects, no likes.
Q11Empty CSV — what went wrong?
Confirm you are on /search/results/people (not jobs or posts search), that results are visible in the tab, and that the side panel recognizes the URL. See troubleshooting in docs if the panel stays idle.
