Search for people

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

Find five product leaders in New York who list B2B SaaS and growth strategy on their profiles, have 8–15 years’ experience, and currently work at companies between 200–1,000 employees. Save their names and one sentence on why they matter for an intro next week.

Before I run a people search, make it quick for me to evaluate candidates: show the top filter hits with company size, years of experience, and one line explaining fit (for example, ‘led onboarding growth at ScaleUp, 30% ARR expansion’). Flag any obvious reason not to approach them now, like they’re an internal recruiter or recently started a new job.

I ran a search and got hundreds of results with noisy matches.
I searched for product leaders in New York with B2B SaaS experience and got 400 profiles, many irrelevant. I don’t know which filters to tighten without missing good passive candidates. Given I need five solid intro prospects by Friday, which three filters should I apply first and why?

My searches return too many low-quality profiles and waste my time.
Over months of sourcing I keep running broad searches that produce long lists I never convert. I spend time opening profiles instead of building relationships. What habit should I change in my search process so I reliably produce 3–5 high-quality outreach targets per week?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from LinkedIn's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
