PhantomBuster’s LinkedIn Recruiter Profile Scraper Automation lets you collect detailed profile data from LinkedIn Recruiter Lite accounts. This tutorial guides you through setup, input options, safe limits, and result retrieval.

• Platform limitation: This Phantom is designed for LinkedIn Recruiter Lite only. Use the standard LinkedIn Profile Scraper for regular profiles.

• Safety limits: Extract no more than 150 profiles per day, spread across multiple launches during office hours. If email discovery is enabled, reduce this to 75 profiles per day.

• Input requirements: Google Sheets must be shared with "Anyone with the link." CSV inputs must be publicly accessible (paid plans only).

• Free plan limitations: CSV exports are limited to the first 10 rows, and JSON exports are not available.

1. Connect your LinkedIn account: Install the PhantomBuster browser extension (Chrome or Firefox) and connect your LinkedIn session in one click. If using another browser, manually retrieve your session cookie.

2. Provide LinkedIn Recruiter profile URLs: Choose a single Recruiter Lite profile URL, a Google Sheet, or a publicly accessible CSV file.

   If using a spreadsheet, the Phantom reads column A by default. You can specify a different column by entering its exact header name in the input field.

3. Set scrape volume per launch: Keep the default of 10 profiles per launch to stay within safe limits. You can also configure options to save profile pictures or extract specific data points like interests and licenses.

   Saving profile pictures is limited to 1000 image files per ZIP. The "Keep only current results" option is available only for JSON output.

4. Enable email enrichment (optional): Select PhantomBuster credits or a third-party service (Dropcontact, Hunter, Snov) to find verified emails.

   Enabling email discovery increases execution time significantly (~30 seconds per profile) and requires valid API keys for third-party services.

5. Choose launch frequency: Select how to run the Phantom: manually, on a schedule (e.g., daily during work hours), or after another Phantom finishes.

6. Adjust global advanced settings (optional): Leave these at their default values unless you need to configure proxies, webhooks, or specific file management rules.

7. Launch and retrieve results: Click Launch. Once completed, view your data in the Results tab or download it.

   CSV output contains limited details (e.g., only the first two experiences). For full career history, skills, and accomplishments, use the JSON output.
