Curious what is in the file before you open it? We went through a real one column by column in what's in your LinkedIn connections export.

How we count

Everything on this page is counted from your file and nothing else. No averages from other people, no benchmarks, no guesses.

  • Connections: every row under LinkedIn's header row. The "Notes:" lines above it are skipped.
  • By year: the year in the Connected On column. Rows without a readable date are left out of that chart and counted in its note.
  • Companies: the Company column, which is each person's current employer as LinkedIn showed it on the day you exported. Spellings that differ only in capitals are merged.
  • Connected 3+ years ago: a Connected On date at least 3 years before today.
  • People you probably can't place anymore: connected 3+ years ago and no email address shared with you. It is a rough rule, and the page says so.

Roles come from keywords in the Position column, checked in this order. The first group that matches wins, so "Sales Engineer" counts as Sales and "Co-Founder & CTO" as Founder or CEO.

  • Founder or CEO: founder, co-founder, cofounder, ceo, chief executive, business owner
  • Sales: sales, account executive, account manager, business development, bdr, sdr
  • Recruiting: recruiter, recruiting, recruitment, talent acquisition, sourcer, headhunter
  • Engineering: engineer, engineering, developer, software, programmer, cto, devops
  • Marketing: marketing, marketer, cmo, growth, brand, content, seo, communications
  • Everything else: no match, or no title at all.

Keywords are matched as whole words and in English, so "Product Owner" is not counted as a founder, and a title in Dutch or German will usually land in Everything else.

What the file can't tell you

The export is a snapshot. It knows where people work today but not where they worked last year, so it can't show who changed jobs. It has no idea who reads or reacts to your posts. And it can't tell you who you used to talk to and haven't in a while. Those are the questions wait who? answers from your own LinkedIn network, along with a first message drafted for each person, which you edit and send yourself.

Questions people ask

Is my Connections.csv uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read by code running on this page, inside your browser. It is not sent to wait who?, not stored, and not shared with LinkedIn or anyone else, and there is no login. Reload or close the tab and the results are gone.

How do I download my Connections.csv from LinkedIn?

On desktop: your photo, Settings & Privacy, Data privacy, Get a copy of your data, tick only Connections, then Request archive. In our own test the file was ready in about ten minutes, but the notification email never came, so go back to the same settings page and refresh until a Download archive button appears. Unzip the download and choose Connections.csv.

Why does my file start with "Notes:" instead of the column names?

LinkedIn puts a few lines above the header row explaining why some email addresses are missing. Spreadsheets trip over them. The analyzer skips them and finds the header row (First Name, Last Name, URL, Email Address, Company, Position, Connected On) on its own.

How are job titles grouped into roles?

By plain keyword rules on the Position column, checked in order, first match wins: Founder or CEO (founder, co-founder, cofounder, ceo, chief executive, business owner), then Sales, Recruiting, Engineering and Marketing. Anything that matches none of them, including blank titles, is Everything else. The rules are English keywords, so titles in other languages mostly land in Everything else. The full lists are on the page.

What does "people you probably can't place anymore" mean?

It is a simple rule, not a judgment: people you connected with 3 or more years ago who have not shared an email address with you. An old connection with no other way to reach them is usually the one that gets a "wait... who?" when their name shows up. You will remember some of them just fine; the count is a starting point, not a verdict.

Why are most email addresses blank?

LinkedIn only includes the email of connections who allow their connections to download it. In the 8,071-row export we looked at for our guide to the file, 2% of rows had one. That is normal, and it is why the export is not an email list.

What can wait who? show that this file cannot?

The export is a snapshot of names, current companies, titles and dates. wait who? syncs your own LinkedIn network so it stays current, and shows who changed jobs, who engages with your posts, who you have gone quiet on, and drafts a first message you edit and send yourself. Nothing is ever sent without you.

This is what your file can show.
