# People - General Search

Quick Search instantly sources LinkedIn People Profiles with business emails, through simple filters such as keywords, job titles and locations.

## Start Search

* Type in filters for your Search.
* For example, if you are looking for Partners at McKinsey in London, you can type in
  * **Keywords:** McKinsey
  * **Job Title:** Partner
  * **Location:** London
* Use Exclude for any keywords you do not want to see, e.g. BCG.
* You can leave fields blank when you don't need them.
* Hyperscale will return 10 initial results to check that they are the type of profiles you are looking for.
* Click on any of the profiles to check, then click Next to continue.
* Click 'Start Sourcing Leads', then type in the number of profiles you would like to scrape. You can scrape up to 100 in every search.

## View Results

* Go to [Manage Leads](https://app.gethyperscale.com/searches)
* View search results and status
* Note that some searches may take longer to verify every email that comes back

## Tips and Tricks

* **Keep each search simple** - use a small number of precise keywords instead of overloading with all relevant terms.
  * For example, if you are looking for Compliance Managers, Chief Data Officers and Head of Information Security in Germany:
  * **DO** three separate searches, each with one job title like this:
    * **Keywords:** Data
    * **Job Title:** Chief Data Officer
    * **Location**: Germany
  * **DO NOT** do a packed search like this:
    * **Keywords:** Data, Compliance, Security
    * **Job Title:** Compliance Managers, Chief Data Officers and Head of Information Security
    * **Location:** Germany and everywhere in Europe
* **Choose Country or City-level locations**
  * E.g. "United Kingdom" or "London" are better than "Europe".
  * Also, if your location is a common name in many countries (e.g. "London" could exist in multiple countries) it is often helpful to include the country (e.g. "London, UK")
* **Try repeatedly until your preliminary results look right.**
  * Your preliminary results don't cost any credits. So feel free to redo searches until you find a list of 10 that look 80-90% like your desired targets, before you start sourcing leads.
  * If there are only a very small number of results, try to reduce the number of terms you enter into the Search
* **If you want a lot of filters, go to Detailed Search.**
  * Quick search works much better when you have specific job titles and companies in mind
  * If you have a lot of specific filters in mind, e.g. specific industry verticals, common hashtags, etc. it's better to use Detailed Search to replicate a specific set of filters on LinkedIn.
