How recruitment agencies source candidates without LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter costs $13,200/seat/year. For agencies sourcing 5-20 candidates per week, that's a brutal margin tax. Same LinkedIn profile data is scrapeable with your own cookie at 3 credits ($0.003) per profile.
The setup
Settings → save your li_at LinkedIn cookie. Then /configure/linkedin-profiles for candidate scraping.
Per-candidate fields
~26 fields including: name, headline, location, current company, past work, education, skills, languages, certifications, connections count, verified badge, "open to work" signal.
Pricing example
A typical 200-candidate shortlist = 200 × 3 = 600 credits = $0.60. Recruiter for the same access: $13,200/year + per-InMail credits.
