As you can search for people by their job title, industry, number of full-time employees, geography, it is very tempting to just search in the ‘Leads Search’. However, your results will not be as accurate.
The industry does not reliably transfer from your current role, as people edit that themselves on their personal profiles. I, for example, say that I work in “Marketing & Advertising”. I do, but equally, a Marketing Director at a Pharmaceutical company may say the same thing.
However, if you were looking to connect with a Pharma Marketing Director, you’d be looking for people in the industry ‘Pharmaceutical’.

I’m going to demonstrate a search in the Lead Search for people that work in a custom list. I have added just 3 companies into my custom list so it is easy to see anomalies.
