# Searching for people

To search for people on LinkedIn, include the st.searchPeople action in your workflow. Supports filtering by keywords, location, industry, and more.

To search for people in LinkedIn, you need to include [`st.searchPeople`](/docs/action-st-search-people) action in your workflow. Here's an example:

**Workflow:**

  "limit": 2,
  "filter": {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "position": "CEO",
    "locations": ["New York", "San Francisco", "London"],
    "industries": ["Software Development", "Professional Services"],
    "currentCompanies": ["Tech Solutions", "Innovatech"],
    "previousCompanies": ["FutureCorp"],
    "schools": ["Harvard University", "MIT"]
  }
}
```

**Completion:**

```json
{
  "actionType": "st.searchPeople",
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "publicUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe",
      "headline": "Founder & CEO at Example Company",

      "headline": "Product Manager at Semsoft",
      "location": "New York"
    }
  ]
}
```
