The search engine by job function lets you search for specific roles in the LinkedIn and Viadeo profiles of a company’s employees… After a query, the resulting list returns the companies where one or more employees have listed that role on their LinkedIn or Viadeo profiles.

If you search for “responsable de clientèle” (account manager, without the quotation marks) in the job-function field, you will get the list of companies with at least 1 account manager recorded under the “Contacts / Social network profiles” section of their record.

  • You can specify just one word that might appear in the role you are after. For example, the query Function SAP will find every company with at least one role whose title contains “SAP” (SAP project manager, SAP administrator…). Searching for .NET roles lists the companies working on a Microsoft-powered platform, and so on…
  • To find roles with an international scope, you can search using English words (business analyst, sales, project manager…) or terms such as EMEA, Worldwide, China…)

If you are looking for companies with at least 10 sales reps on their payroll, type the following in the search-by-function field: +10 commercial (without the quotation marks). You will get the list of companies where at least 3 employees have listed the role “commercial” (sales) on their LinkedIn or Viadeo profiles.
