Describe who you're looking for — get AI-generated search queries across LinkedIn, X, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Stack Overflow, Behance, Google Scholar, and more. No sign-up required.
ProfileSpider's free People Finder helps recruiters, sourcers, founders, and sales teams generate targeted people-search queries across professional, social, creator, and community platforms. Pair it with our LinkedIn X-Ray Search Builder for even more precise Boolean queries, or use the Email Pattern Generator once you've found the right profiles.
Try an example (prefills above; then click Find people)
Describe the people you want to find, then click Find people.
Tell the People Finder who you're looking for in plain language — "React developers in Amsterdam", "sport influencers in London", or "climate researchers" — and get a set of ready-to-run search queries across every network where those people are likely to live online. It's the fastest way to find LinkedIn profiles, GitHub developers, YouTube creators, Reddit users, and other professionals without manually building Boolean strings or paying for a contact database.
Coverage spans the full range of where people are findable: LinkedIn, X (Twitter), GitHub, and Stack Overflow for professionals; Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, and TikTok for creators and communities; Medium, Substack, Behance, Dribbble, and Kaggle for writers, designers, and portfolios; and Meetup, Google Scholar, and Crunchbase for academics, founders, and local talent. The AI picks platforms that actually fit your description — a search for "fashion creators in Berlin" leans into TikTok and Instagram; "ML engineers in NYC" pivots to GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Scholar.
For each platform you'll get a native search button (where the platform's own search works well, like LinkedIn or GitHub) and a Google or Bing search button that targets just that platform's profile pages — so a single description can produce a dozen high-quality searches in seconds. Want full control over LinkedIn specifically? The LinkedIn X-Ray Search Builder gives you fine-grained Boolean filters for title, company, location, and seniority. Looking for organizations instead of individuals? The Company Finder works the same way but targets B2B directories like Google Maps, Crunchbase, and G2.
Tip: once you've identified the right people, predict their work email with the Email Pattern Generator, then install ProfileSpider to extract names, titles, and contact details from any profile or search results page in a single click — built for recruiting, sales prospecting, and lead generation at scale.
Describe companies you want — AI-generated queries for Google Maps, Yelp, LinkedIn Companies, Crunchbase, G2, Capterra, Facebook, and more.
Paste a company domain to discover its LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub and other social profiles from the homepage.
Build targeted X-Ray search queries to find LinkedIn profiles via Google and Bing.
Predict likely email formats for any company domain (e.g. first.last@company.com).
You describe the type of people you want to find in plain language — for example, "React developers in Amsterdam" or "sport influencers in London". An AI picks relevant platforms (LinkedIn, X, GitHub, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Stack Overflow, Behance, Google Scholar, and more) and outputs targeted search queries. Native search buttons appear where keyword search works well (e.g. LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube). Stack Overflow is Google/Bing X-Ray only, using site:stackoverflow.com/users so hits are user profiles like /users/12345/name, not Q&A pages. Other platforms use X-Ray with the right site: filter.
The AI can use LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Medium, Substack, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, Kaggle, Meetup, Google Scholar, Crunchbase, and general web search — only where they fit your description (e.g. Dribbble/Behance for designers, Scholar for researchers, Crunchbase for companies/founders, TikTok/YouTube for creators).
Yes. The People Finder is completely free and does not require an account or sign-up.
The X-Ray Search Builder lets you manually configure structured filters for LinkedIn only. The People Finder uses AI to generate diverse queries across multiple platforms from a single natural-language description — it's faster and covers more ground.
The tool is rate-limited to prevent abuse. You can run several searches per minute. If you hit the limit, wait a moment and try again.
Yes. After running a search in Google, Bing, LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Stack Overflow, Behance, Dribbble, or other result pages, use the ProfileSpider Chrome extension to scrape profiles from the results, or open a profile and extract full contact data — name, title, company, and social links — in one click.
Be specific about the role, industry, and location. For example, "B2B SaaS founders in Berlin" or "UX designers at fintech startups in New York" will produce more targeted queries than a vague description like "business people".
