Network search
Search friends' LinkedIn network in plain English
LinkedIn only searches your direct connections. knowswho lets you search friends' LinkedIn network exports — so you can find second-degree paths without Boolean filters or cold messages.
Search a friend's LinkedIn connections
You cannot search someone else's LinkedIn network from LinkedIn itself — only your own. On knowswho, friends share their export and their connections become searchable for you in plain English.
Type what you need: "product leaders at Series B startups" or "designers who worked at Figma." Semantic search matches titles, companies, and context — not recruiter Boolean strings.
LinkedIn network search without Boolean operators
LinkedIn network search in plain English is how you describe someone at coffee, not how you write a Recruiter query. knowswho embeds your question and matches across friends' networks and yours if you connect LinkedIn too.
Results show strong matches first, which friend's network each person came from, and who can introduce you when you are ready for a warm intro.
Second-degree paths, private by default
Find people who are one friend away — second-degree connections — without manually opening every mutual connection profile. Once you know who to meet, use our guide on how to ask for a LinkedIn introduction to draft the request your friend can forward. Friends only share with people they connect with on knowswho, not the public web.
