Already know the ideal person for your role? Instead of writing a job description, you can start from their LinkedIn profile: the Kalent agent looks for profiles like it.
Launch the search
Open your search, on the Sourcing agent (or Prospecting agent) tab.
In the assistant field, click +, then Lookalike.
Paste the LinkedIn profile URL, shaped like
linkedin.com/in/…. As soon as it is recognised, an in/… pill replaces the link. One URL at a time.Send it. Kalent fetches the profile and shows it in the thread, under Ideal profile (or Ideal prospect), with the Launch the search → button.
If needed, add instructions in the chat before launching, for example “based in Paris, no management”. The agent updates its proposal.
Click Launch the search →.
What the agent looks for
Profiles in a close role, with comparable experience, skills and location.
Your instructions always come before the profile: if you ask for Paris while the person is in Lyon, the agent searches in Paris.
The profile’s company and school are not used as filters, unless you ask for them in your instructions.
The reference profile never shows up in the results.
In prospecting, the profile’s current company is excluded from the results.
After the launch
The search then works like any agent search: you can adjust it by writing in the chat. Fetching the reference profile uses no credits.
If the profile cannot be read
“Invalid URL”: the pasted text is not a LinkedIn profile URL. Copy the address from the profile page.
“This profile could not be found”: check the URL or send another one.
“This profile cannot be fetched right now”: try again a bit later.
