The most common cause is a non-normalized value. Check these:
- Industry:
"Tech"is not valid — use"Information Technology and Services"or"Computer Software"or"Internet". - Country code:
"USA"is not valid — use"US"."United Kingdom"is not valid — use"GB". - Employee range:
"50-200"is not valid — use"51-200". - Job level:
"vp"is not valid — use"VP"."C-Level"is not valid — use"C-Team". - Job function:
"Sales"is not valid — use"Sales & Business Development". - Sales region:
"NA"is not valid — use"NORAM".

LinkedIn’s industry taxonomy is granular. Try using multiple values in your
industry.include array to broaden the search. For example, instead of just "Computer Software", also include "Information Technology and Services" and "Internet".Employee Finder returns results but not the roles I expected

Check that you’re using the right combination of
job_level and job_function. For example, to find senior sales leaders, use "job_level": ["C-Team", "VP", "Director"] combined with "job_function": ["Sales & Business Development"].
