General tips on how to use the filters

There are two types of filters, Company-filters such as Company name, Industry, and Employee count, and Prospect-filters such as Job title, Prospect location, and Prospect keywords. Combine both Company-filters and Prospect-filters to find relevant people at relevant companies. If you use the Company name filter to find a specific company, don't add any other company filters, since it will narrow your results down further.

Below we give tips on how to maximize the use of each filter:

Company name:

  • Use only the most essential part of the company name (e.g., “Coca-Cola” instead of “Coca-Cola company Sweden”)

  • Use the company name that matches the company name on LinkedIn

  • Add all variants (e.g., coca-cola and Coca-Cola)

  • If a company name can not be found as an auto-suggested option, you can still add it manually by pressing enter.

Industry:

  • The more subindustries you add, the more companies you target

  • If you do not target a specific industry, exclude industries that are less relevant to your business offer.

Employee count:

  • The bigger the employee span you choose, the more companies you target.

Job Title:

  • Click the Job-title filter to get AI-driven suggestions for relevant titles close to your search. The more filters and titles you add, the more relevant title suggestions will appear. Remember that titles can be in several languages.

  • Add all variants (e.g., e-commerce and eCommerce)

  • Add different manager names (head of, director, manager, etc.)

  • Add Job Titles in local languages relevant to your search

  • A tip is to exclude unwanted roles and seniorities under the “Exclude”-tab (e.g., Assistant, Junior, Trainee)

Additionally, we recommend that you check what other job titles your prospects use on LinkedIn

Prospect Location:

  • Use the location filter to find Prospects working at specific locations. Note that there might be several locations with similar names. Use all of them to increase the number of results.

  • Select all of the applicable locations (e.g., “London,” “Greater London,” “London metropolitan area)

  • You get a bigger hit if you are country-specific since not all prospects state what city they work in.

Prospect Keywords:

  • Match with interest, skills, education, and job titles on LinkedIn (not words in bio for instance)

  • Add all variations (e.g., social media and SOME)

  • We recommend that you check what keywords your prospects use on LinkedIn.

Keep in mind that company fields (e.g., industry or technologies) are not suitable for this filter.
