How to Extract Candidate Details from Professional Profiles

Introduction

Are you looking to find the perfect candidates for your job openings? Datagma is a powerful tool that helps recruiters extract candidate details from professional profiles at scale (verified emails, mobile phone numbers, former positions, job titles, and recruitment dates) without manual profile-by-profile visits.

Can You Export a CSV from a Professional Network?

Yes. Professional networks let you export your connections to CSV from account settings, but this export contains very limited data and no contact information.

For recruiters who need complete data (including verified emails and direct phone numbers) the solution is to combine an export tool with Datagma’s CSV Enrichment feature. Datagma’s Chrome Extension can also export search results directly to Excel or CSV, including contact details for each profile.

3 Steps for Building a Candidate Pipeline with Datagma

Step 1: Build Your Professional Search

Use the platform’s search or Sales Navigator to filter candidates by:

• Job title and keywords
• Location
• Company size
• Industry
• Past employers or schools

Refine until your search returns the right audience.

Step 2: Export to CSV

Use the Datagma Chrome Extension (or a tool like Evaboot, Captain Data, or Phantombuster) to export your search results to a CSV or Excel file.

The Datagma extension can export up to 2,500 profiles per day in under 1 minute, no complex setup or cookie injection required.

Step 3: Enrich with Contact Details

Upload your CSV to Datagma’s File Upload feature. Within minutes, you get back:

• Verified work email address
• Mobile phone number (when available)
• Company data (size, industry, technologies, funding)
• Job change detection flag

Your enriched file is ready to import into your ATS, CRM, or outreach tool.

Why Datagma for Candidate Extraction?

Direct Communication from Day One

Instead of sending InMail (which often goes unread), Datagma gives you the candidate’s verified email or mobile number. This enables direct outreach through the channels that actually get responses.

Track Recent Job Changes

Targeting candidates who have recently started a new role is a high-signal strategy. Datagma’s Job Change Detection module identifies when contacts in your database have moved to a new company, including:

• Previous position and company
• New job title and employer
• Approximate start date

This lets you reach out to candidates at a natural inflection point, when they’re re-evaluating their career and most receptive to new opportunities.

Comprehensive Profile Information

For each professional profile, Datagma retrieves:

• Full name and current job title
• Company name, size, and industry
• Prior work experience and education
• Contact details (email, phone)

All data is gathered into a standardized, importable format.

CRM Integration

Enriched records can be pushed straight into HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive, creating the contact if it doesn’t exist, completing it if it does. This eliminates manual data entry and keeps your talent database current.

Every year, email marketing databases degrade by roughly 22.5%. Datagma’s continuous enrichment ensures your candidate records stay accurate over time.
