Speiros uses the LinkedIn product available on the connected account. Classic, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter have different searches and access requirements; one is not a substitute for another.
Before you start
Connect your LinkedIn Sender and check its detected capabilities in LinkedIn access. A LinkedIn Premium subscription alone does not confirm that Sales Navigator or Recruiter is connected.
Match your search to the account
| Product | Search to use | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | LinkedIn people search | Use the connected account's accessible people search. Some results initially contain a headline rather than separate role and company fields. |
| Sales Navigator | Sales Navigator people search | Confirm Sales Navigator access. Searches often return separate role and company information. |
| Recruiter | Recruiter search through the recruiting conversation | Confirm Recruiter access before asking Speiros to use Recruiter criteria or a native Recruiter search URL. |
If you supply a native search URL in the conversation, Speiros uses that product's search state. Ask it to keep the original search rather than reinterpret its filters. Without a URL, describe your criteria so it can use the available product's search fields.
Speiros currently allows one active LinkedIn Sender per workspace. Do not plan on using Sales Navigator and Recruiter simultaneously through separate LinkedIn Senders in the same workspace.
Understand the boundary
A search preview is a sample. A separately approved import can continue through more results up to the requested target or until the provider has no more results. Different products may expose different information and limits.
The Candidates → Add candidates → LinkedIn search form describes people-search, Sales Navigator, and individual profile URLs. For Recruiter-specific searches, use the recruiting conversation and check the actual capability reported there; do not assume every Recruiter resource is a direct-import URL.
If access is missing
Inspect the detected product and connection health rather than rewriting a Recruiter URL as a Sales Navigator URL. Refresh or reconnect the account as described in recover a Sender, then retry the matching search.
Continue with start a search or import from LinkedIn.
