Hi everyone! We're excited to be sharing what we've been working on today. Slik lets you to easily find anyone's email when you visit their LinkedIn profile. You can then save it to our dashboard, and export it to a CSV. We have one of the highest deliverability rates at 90%+, and are looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Feel free to comment here, or email me [email protected], if you have any questions or comments.

I don't have a LinkedIn profile, but another software engineer who lives in my city and shares my name does. I regularly get recruiter spam intended for him, because of tools like Connectifier that assumes that we must be the same person. At first glance, I don't see any way with your site for me to verify that you won't be making the same mistake.

Nice work! Congrats on the launch. Do you have an API? would be great to here more on potential integration options.

I thought that there would be some information on how it finds anyone's email address, especially at "How It Works" [0].

BTW, if one has signed up on LinkedIn using their non-work address, e.g. gmail, do you manage to find their personal address or the work one? I guess that it'd be latter, right?

We only find work email addresses, and to find emails we use a variety of methods - Some include checking the mail server, using various APIs, using social verification to see if the email is signed up somewhere, crawling the web, scraping domains, etc.

SellHack used to do this exact thing a couple years ago but had to remove the on-page button after Linkedin went after them. Do you think you'll face similar difficulties?

How does this compare with Hunter.io (formerly Email Hunter) in terms of pricing and accuracy?

This is super cool.

What flavor of black magic do you use to make your button show up on the LinkedIn website?
