How to look up a person by name
Search.
Type a name and press Find matches. If it is a common one, add a company, a job title or a city. Searching needs a free account, and it shows everyone we found for the name.

When the search finishes (usually about half a minute), you see the matches, one row per person with name, role, company, city and a match word such as Strong match or Weak match. Choose the person you mean, or press None of these to change your search. A free account shows everyone we found. A plan unlocks the full report on the person you pick.

A people search that shows its sources
A people finder is only as useful as your ability to check what it tells you. Deep Search gathers public information about a person when you search, then ties each fact in the report to the page it came from. If a claim looks wrong, open its source and judge it yourself.
A report brings together what public pages say about someone's work history, education and public profiles, with public photos linked to their name. Subscribe to unlock it, and nothing in it is blurred.
What a report leaves out
Contact details. Email addresses, phone numbers and contact links are removed before you see anything, because Deep Search is for learning who someone is, not for finding a way to reach them.
For the full walk-through, read how Deep Search works. Weighing up other ways to look someone up? See how it compares with a Google search and with LinkedIn. When you are ready, start a search.
Built for people who meet people
Deep Search helps you prepare before you message, meet or quote someone. It is a research tool, not a way to screen people.
Recruiters
Know who you are about to message, and what they have made public about their work.
Sales teams
Walk into the first call already knowing the person's role, their company and where they have worked before.
