Best practices

Get the most out of this Phantom while staying safe and compliant.

Respect LinkedIn's usage guidelines: We recommend scraping a maximum of 150 profiles per day, spread across several launches during working hours, or 75 if using an email discovery service. This protects your LinkedIn Recruiter Lite account while delivering consistent results.

Use targeted profile lists: Start with a precise list of candidates. We recommend using the Sales Navigator Search Export Phantom to collect targeted profiles from Sales Navigator searches before scraping.

Enable email discovery strategically: PhantomBuster's email discovery uses full name and company domain to find verified professional email addresses. Expect an enrichment rate between 35% and 65%, depending on the sector you're scraping. For higher success rates, integrate third-party tools like Dropcontact, Hunter, or Snov.io.

Enrich 1st-degree connections for direct contact info: For most 1st-degree connections on LinkedIn, you'll be able to scrape personal email addresses and phone numbers that are publicly available on their profiles.

Export and sync to your CRM: Once you've scraped candidate data, import it directly into your CRM, such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Salesforce, to keep your recruiting pipeline organized and actionable.

Chain Phantoms for full outreach workflows: After scraping, automate connection requests with the LinkedIn Auto Connect Phantom, then follow up with personalized messages using the LinkedIn Message Sender Phantom to build relationships at scale.

Note: If you need to scrape profiles from LinkedIn's regular site, use the LinkedIn Profile Scraper Phantom. To scrape profiles from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, use the Sales Navigator Profile Scraper Phantom.
