How to search {nationality} people in {country} on Linkedin

In business, finding people who went to the same school as you is not only a great ice breaker but a chance to turn a new contact into a new business or career opportunity.

Also, when you are an expat, finding other expats who have the same nationality as you, is a fantastic way to create new relationships and new opportunities for both sides.

When you are an expat in the United Arab Emirates, where 90% of the population are expats, using Linkedin effectively to find decision-makers or professionals with the relevant nationality can be a huge advantage and time saver.

At Extra Mile, we know Linkedin (our founder worked there) and we have been helping businesses in the UAE with their business development and marketing goals for a few years now.

So we have created Linkedin searches compiling all top universities, business schools and engineering schools in each country. Some searches include more than 90 top schools.

Top 3 reasons why finding people by nationality is an advantage

• Networking with people of the same nationality.
• When selling services or products based on nationality. For example, Air France might want to target French people and UK Financial Advisors might want to target British expats
• Finding contacts within prospects who are the same nationality as you or one of your colleagues to increase the likelihood for them to respond or meet with you

Find all expats on Linkedin from the top 12 nationalities represented in the United Arab Emirates

Each search link will take you to Linkedin search results displaying all Linkedin members having studied in all top schools of the selected country. Which means, most of the people will have the nationality of that country.

Using the searches, you can find all Linkedin members who graduated from the schools of a particular country, wherever they are in the world.

In the UAE obviously, but you can search for anyone from those nationalities in any country in the world like Qatar, Saudi Arabia or Singapore for example.

Use filters on Linkedin for free to narrow down results to your targeted audience

Locations

Filter to people based in your country or your target territory

All filters→ Industry

Filter to people working in your industry or your target industry

All filters→ Job title

Filter to people having relevant job titles

For example: (Head OR Director) AND Marketing will only show people with “director” and “marketing” or “head” and “marketing” in the results

Connections = 2nd

Filter to people being in your 2nd degree network.

Meaning you have at least one mutual connections with all of them.

Meaning you can identify paths for introductions or referrals

If you are in sales or marketing, this is gold.
