Use this interactive demo to learn how to discover and connect with new people on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

LinkedIn offers multiple ways to find people to connect with, including the search bar, the People tab filter, the My Network page, and the People You May Know section on your profile. Using these built-in discovery tools helps you grow your professional network with relevant, mutually connected members.


Steps

  1. Go to the search bar at the top of your dashboard and press Enter to run a search.
  2. Click the People tab filter at the top of the search results page.
  3. Review the search results, which display members you can connect with, often prioritized based on mutual connections.
  4. Click My Network in the top menu as an additional way to find people.
  5. Scroll down the network page to see member suggestions for sending invitations.
  6. Visit your profile page and check the right side to see suggested members under People You May Know.

📌 Why this matters

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, and knowing how to efficiently find and connect with the right people is essential for career growth, business development, and industry networking. The platform's built-in discovery tools — including People search filters, My Network suggestions, and People You May Know — are designed to surface relevant contacts based on mutual connections and shared interests. Using these features strategically helps professionals expand their reach, build meaningful relationships, and unlock new opportunities faster. This demo matters because mastering LinkedIn's connection-finding workflow directly impacts your ability to grow a high-quality professional network.
