How to Search for Resumes on LinkedIn

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to find and review candidate profiles on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

LinkedIn does not have a dedicated resume upload search, but recruiters can search for people by name or keyword and use the People filter to find profiles that function as public resumes. Each LinkedIn profile displays work history, skills, and education, giving hiring teams the candidate information they need without a separate resume file.


Steps

  1. Go to the search bar in the top menu of your LinkedIn dashboard and press Enter to run your search.
  2. Click the People tab filter to narrow results to individual LinkedIn members.
  3. Select a LinkedIn member from the results list to visit their profile.
  4. Scroll through the member's profile page and review their work history, skills, and education, which functions as a resume.

📌 Why this matters

LinkedIn profiles serve as living, publicly accessible resumes, making LinkedIn the world's largest talent database for recruiters and hiring managers. Knowing how to search for people and apply the People filter lets talent teams quickly surface qualified candidates without relying on uploaded resume files. Reviewing a LinkedIn profile gives recruiters instant access to a candidate's work history, skills, and endorsements in a single standardized view. This workflow is essential for any recruiter or HR professional looking to streamline candidate sourcing directly on LinkedIn.
