LinkedIn Candidate Search (No Cookies)

LinkedIn Candidate Search

A Worker that searches for LinkedIn candidate profiles using Brave Search. Instead of scraping LinkedIn directly, it queries Brave Search with a site:linkedin.com/in operator and extracts the matching profile cards, making it resilient to LinkedIn login walls.

Features

• Structured search: provide a job role, location(s), seniority level, and technology stack and the worker builds an optimised Brave Search query automatically.
• Raw query fallback: if no structured criteria are given, an explicit search query string can be supplied instead.
• Automatic fallback query: when results are sparse the worker retries with a relaxed query (keywords dropped) to maximise yield.
• Result filtering: hiring-post patterns, low-signal results, and custom exclude keywords are automatically removed.
• Relevance ranking: every collected profile is scored against the search criteria and the top N results are returned.
• Remote fingerprint browser: all browsing is performed through the platform's remote CDP browser, which handles proxying, fingerprinting, and stealth automatically.
• CAPTCHA handling: basic PoW CAPTCHA detection and auto-solve are built in.

Notes

• Brave Search returns approximately 10 results per page; the worker pages through up to 15 pages per query.
• Very broad queries (many locations, many technologies, long keywords) may be automatically truncated to stay within Brave Search's 450-character query limit.
• Results reflect Brave Search's index of LinkedIn and may not include very new or private profiles.
