Find someone on LinkedIn.

Is that recruiter real? Upload their headshot and we’ll look for the same face on public LinkedIn profiles and every other platform we search.

Three good reasons to look.

  • The recruiter with a studio headshot

    Perfect lighting, a vague company and a salary that sounds a bit too good. See if that headshot works elsewhere.

    “Your profile is impressive. Are you open to a remote role?”

  • A connection you’ve never met

    Fifty mutual connections, a senior title and nothing you can verify. Start with the face; it’s the easiest thing to borrow.

  • An offer that moves to WhatsApp

    The interview happens by text, on another app, and ends with a fee for a laptop or a “training kit”.

Easier than scrolling.

One photo covers 20 platforms at once, and possible matches come back closest first.

  1. Your photo

    A clear, front-facing photo of one face works best: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.

  2. Our legwork

    We check public LinkedIn profiles and 19 more platforms in one pass.

  3. Your call

    Each possible match links to its public page with a similarity score. You compare; we never contact anyone.

Seen that headshot somewhere before?

Fake recruiters and cloned profiles run on stolen headshots, and one search checks a contact’s photo or your own.

  • A recruiter’s headshot used under another name
  • The same headshot on several unrelated profiles
  • Your own photo on profiles you didn’t create
  • A link to each public LinkedIn profile, with a similarity score
A similar face is a reason to look closer, not proof. And an empty list clears no one.

Found something?

  1. Put the two pages side by side
  2. Confirm the role on the company’s own careers page
  3. Share no ID and pay nothing yet
  4. Report the profile to LinkedIn

Signs the offer isn’t real.

  • A fee up front, or a “training kit” to buy
  • A push to move the chat off LinkedIn
  • The company page doesn’t list them anywhere
  • An interview that happens only by text

The photo isn’t the only clue.

A fee to apply, a push to move off LinkedIn or an early request for ID documents all mean slow down.

Check contacts, not candidates.

Use it on your own photos or on someone who approached you, never to decide on hiring, housing, credit or insurance.

What you may search

Your own face, an adult who clearly consented, or someone you are legally authorised to investigate.

Prohibited uses

No minors or images you have no right to use, and never to stalk, harass, profile, or decide on jobs or housing.

Every search is logged. Accounts that break these rules are closed without refunds.

Questions, answered.

Can I do a reverse image search on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn has no photo search of its own. FindSherlock compares the face in your photo with public LinkedIn profile pictures and 19 other platforms, and lists possible matches with a link and a similarity score.

How can I tell if a recruiter is fake?

Search their headshot. If the same face appears under other names or companies, confirm the role on the company’s own careers page before you share anything, and never pay to apply.

Can I use this to screen job candidates or tenants?

No. Our rules forbid using results for hiring, employment, housing, credit or insurance decisions.

Can I find someone’s LinkedIn profile from a photo?

If their face is on a public LinkedIn profile, it may come back as a possible match with a link. Profiles visible only to connections or signed-in members may not show up.

Will I show up in “Who viewed your profile”?

Not from the search: we never sign in to LinkedIn as you. Opening a result while you’re signed in is a normal visit, though.

How much does a search cost?

One coin is one search. Coin packs start at $1.99, and coins never expire. Searching often? Pro unlocks every result for $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $19.99 a year, billed in US dollars.

Let’s check before you send that CV.

Add their headshot; if the same face works for three different companies, you’ll see it before you share a thing.
