Alternatively, it also works great for mapping out companies as part of OSINT. Save for intelligence services, you can find exactly whose credentials you need for keys to some company's kingdom. All of that with the free trial of a recruiter account. The search could be better, but isn't bad once you figured out how it works.

How? Linkedin doesnt let you connect with ppl outside of your network. How do you start getting in?

I don't want to connect with anyone, just see at which company/ies they work and their function(s). Paying recruiters have a nice search function for that on LinkedIn.

Isn’t that only true for free accounts? I think if you pay them like $15 (or use the free trial as grandparent comment suggests) they’ll let you message anyone.

You'd be awfully surprised by how far you can get with only a free account and Google: LinkedIn will limit search results and suchlike if you use the site itself but you can generally fall back to Google to get what you need.
