# Search LinkedIn by job title - Veezee

Answer "who is the Head of Growth at that company" without clicking through LinkedIn: pass a `title` filter, optionally scoped by `current_company`, and get matching people back with names, positions, and locations. Use `past_company` instead to reach former holders of a role.

This is [linkedin_search_people](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/linkedin_search_people) with its title filter: 10 credits per search, up to 30 results on a paid key.

## Parameters

| Param | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | no | `string` | Free-text query: a name, a title, or both. |
| `first_name` | no | `string` | First-name filter, exact match. |
| `last_name` | no | `string` | Last-name filter, exact match. |
| `title` | no | `string` | Current job title filter. |
| `school` | no | `string` | School or university name filter. |
| `current_company` | no | `string` | Company name, slug, numeric id, or urn:li:fsd_company URN. Names are fuzzy-matched by LinkedIn; ids and URNs filter exactly. |
| `past_company` | no | `string` | Same accepted forms as current_company; names are resolved to an id server-side. |
| `limit` | no | `integer` | How many results to return. |
| `cursor` | no | `string` | Cursor from a previous page. |
| `freshness` | no | `string` | recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it. |
| `max_credits` | no | `integer` | Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling. |

Returns a `people_search` envelope. Full field list: https://veezee.io/docs/fields#people_search

## Pricing

`linkedin_search_people` costs 10 credits base per call (surcharges for optional sections, cursor pages, and batches: https://veezee.io/docs/tools/linkedin_search_people). Every key starts with a free budget of 200 credits per IP per day, no account, no card; past that, credits are $2.00 per 1,000 with no subscription required.

## FAQ

**Do I need keywords too?**

No. When title is set, keywords derive from it automatically.

**Can I filter by location or seniority?**

There are no such filters; each result carries the person's location, so filter client-side.

**How do I go from a match to a full profile?**

Pass the match's identifier to [linkedin_get_profile](https://veezee.io/docs/tools/linkedin_get_profile) at 4 credits.
