Both within the LinkedIn Talent Insights Talent Pool Report and Company Report, you can add keywords to a search for terms listed anywhere on LinkedIn member profiles.
The four common scenarios for using keyword search in Talent Insights are:
-
Searching for an emerging or specific skill term not yet available in the LinkedIn standardized skills taxonomy.
-
Searching for a term that doesn’t have a corresponding facet available. For example, certifications, product names, security clearances, groups, and associations.
-
Searching for mentions of a term. For example, the user wants to return all members that mention a specific term regardless of the context in which it is listed.
-
Boolean search across facets. For example, ("Software Engineer" AND "Machine Learning") OR "Machine Learning Engineer".
To filter your Talent Pool or Company Report using keywords:
-
Sign in to Talent Insights.
-
Create a Talent Pool or Company Report.
-
On the left rail, enter your search terms under the Keyword field.
Important: Please note there is a 40-word limit to keyword searches. Currently, the standardized search filters in Talent Insights, such as Job Title and Skill will return the broadest results. For example, if you search for “software engineer” using the Job Title search filter, you’ll be searching for “software engineer” in all available languages and your search will return the global talent pool for software engineers. However, if you search for “software engineer” using Keyword Search, your search will only return members with the exact phrase “software engineer” on their profiles in English.
You can’t search by name as member’s first and last names aren’t included in the Talent Insights keyword index.
