A LinkedIn post finder Ghost searches all public LinkedIn posts with your search queries and keeps the ones that match your goal. Use it to find people you don’t know yet, such as finance managers asking their network for a better payroll provider.

You don’t need to link a LinkedIn account for the Ghost to scan. A linked account is only for acting on Finds.

Tip

To find posts by people instead of keywords, use a [LinkedIn user monitor](/docs/platforms/linkedin-user-monitor). To watch company pages, use a [LinkedIn company monitor](/docs/platforms/linkedin-company-monitor).

## Search queries

Each Ghost takes up to 15 queries. LinkedIn is strict about how `OR`, `NOT`, quotes and parentheses combine, so read [LinkedIn search syntax](/docs/search-syntax/linkedin) before you write the first one.

The weekly estimate next to a query counts raw search results. Your goal and [Match threshold](/docs/ghosts/match-threshold) decide how many become Finds.

## Filters

Filters live under Set Global Filters for every query and Set filters for this query for one. A filter on a single query takes priority over the global one.

-   Most poster filters stay locked until you set Poster type to Person or Company.
-   Person’s title accepts the same syntax as a search query, for example `controller OR "head of finance" OR founder`.
-   Person’s job min employees and Person’s job max employees are the size of the company the poster works at.
-   The location filters offer the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India and Australia only.
-   A Ghost you create automatically never sets Poster industry. Add it yourself if you need it.

## Act on a Find

With a [LinkedIn account linked](/docs/integrations/linkedin), you can react, comment, repost, quote or send a connection request from PitchGhost. Nothing is sent until you send it.
