Candidates and clients blur into one list.
Leadhabit for recruiters
You are working two pipelines at once, and both live in the same feed. The trick is telling them apart without opening a second tool.
What a signal looks like
A hiring announcement, a team expansion, or someone saying quietly that they are open to something new.
Searches that surface it — these go in LinkedIn’s content search, not the people or jobs tabs.
Without a habit
What usually goes wrong
02
A great candidate resurfaces six months later and you have lost the context.
03
Job-post spam drowns the searches that matter.
The routine
How recruiters use it
Two groups, one habit
Keep Candidates and Clients as separate groups and switch the filter as you triage.
Auto-hide the noise
Keyword rules kill the "hiring? our agency scales your outbound" posts before you see them.
Notes carry the context
Stack, salary expectation, notice period — one line now saves a rediscovery call later.
A scale that fits the work
Stages for recruiters

Questions
Is this against LinkedIn's terms?
No. Leadhabit never sends a connection request or message for you and does not scrape in the background. It is a note-taking and triage layer over what you can already see.
Start the habit this week.
Install it, run one search, and save five people. That is the whole first session.
