How to find the hiring manager for a job posting

  1. Check the posting first. LinkedIn job pages sometimes show a “Meet the hiring team” section, and some listings name the manager or a contact email.
  2. Work out which team the role sits in from the title and description, then search for the manager of that team. The searches above guess the usual titles for you.
  3. Confirm the match. Their profile should mention the same team, product, or location as the job description.
  4. Apply first, then reach out with a short, specific note. Mention the exact role so they can find your application.

Recruiter or hiring manager: who should you message?

Recruiters manage the process and can tell you where your application stands. Hiring managers decide who joins their team, so a strong note to them can carry more weight, but they are busier. If you can, contact one of each, and ask a current team member about the work before your interview.

Why Google and LinkedIn?

LinkedIn’s own search works best when you are signed in, and shows more people the closer they are to your network. The Google search uses site:linkedin.com/in to find public profiles without signing in, which can surface people LinkedIn hides. Try both.
