Skills

Exa People Search

Find people using Exa's neural search API - LinkedIn profiles, professional backgrounds, experts, and team members.

When to use: Searching for people by role, company, or location. GTM research, recruiting pipelines, executive mapping, or researching someone's professional background.

What it does:

• Searches LinkedIn profiles via Exa's category: "people" mode
• Supports query variations for broader coverage
• Handles category-specific filter restrictions (date filters don't work with people search)
• Post-filters for location, company, and role relevance
• Falls back to news/general search for deep dives on specific individuals

Examples:

Find senior ML engineers at Meta in the Bay Area

Find VP of Product or Head of Engineering at Stripe in Europe. Create a CSV.

Research the professional background of Demis Hassabis
