Star Finder Extension

Star Finder Plugin is a Chrome extension that helps recruiters and hiring managers quickly score LinkedIn profiles. Once Star Finder Plugin is installed, which takes about five seconds, it will compute a score for every LinkedIn Profile you open in your browser. The score is based on:

- The number and quality of someone's LinkedIn recommendations, especially from high-score individuals
- The number of their followers at sites such as Github, AngelList, and the like.
- The number of endorsements from and the number of connections with high-score individuals.
- The number of Star Finder Plugin users, especially high-scoring ones, who marked this person as a Star
- Whether the person worked for the companies you target
- Whether the person's profile contains the keywords you target.
