If you\u2019re trying to find out where someone works, there are more search options than ever thanks to the internet and the amount of information people put online nowadays. Still, you can run into complications in your search. It\u2019s tougher to find out if someone is working or not, and if the person isn\u2019t currently employed, you could be looking for something that you\u2019re not going to find.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, your search doesn\u2019t need to take long. The following methods can all help you quickly get more information on a person\u2019s current employer and show you how to do a free people search<\/a>.<\/p>\n Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n At this point, most people have at least one social media account, even if they aren\u2019t a frequent social media user. Profiles can contain valuable information on where a person works, depending on how much information they\u2019ve entered. Here are a few of the most common social networks:<\/p>\n \u2022 Facebook You\u2019re most likely to find employment information on Facebook or LinkedIn. Facebook encourages users to add their employment information, and LinkedIn focuses on professional connections, which means users are also likely to add their employer. Here\u2019s how you can look up a user on either network:<\/p>\n 1. Log in to your account. Whether the profile will include the person\u2019s current employer depends on if they\u2019ve added that and their privacy settings. Some users set up their accounts so that only their connections can see their employment history.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also important to note that LinkedIn logs who views your profile, which means the person will see that you viewed their profile unless you set yours to private viewing mode. This is a good idea if you want to browse discretely. Facebook doesn\u2019t show people who viewed their profile.<\/p>\n Although Instagram and Twitter don\u2019t include an employment section, users sometimes put their jobs in their profiles anyway. If you don\u2019t have any luck with Facebook and LinkedIn, give the other networks a try.<\/p>\n Search Engines<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes a simple online search is all it takes to pull up a person\u2019s employment information. If they have a unique name, you can try searching for just that. If they have a common name or you\u2019re getting quite a few results that don\u2019t match the person you want, search for their name and their location.<\/p>\n Although this can work well for finding out where a person works, it\u2019s especially useful if the person is a freelancer or a business owner, as they may have their own website related to what they do.<\/p>\n Get creative with your search terms and use all the information you have on the person. For example, if you know they went to a certain school or belong to a specific organization, including those to improve your search results.<\/p>\n People Search Websites<\/strong><\/p>\n There are quite a few people search websites out there that pull up a variety of accounts and public records<\/a> related to a person. Pipl is one of the more popular options. You can search by only the person\u2019s name, or you can search by name and location for more accurate results.<\/p>\n Even if you don\u2019t get a person\u2019s employment information through Pipl, it may put you on the trail of social media accounts or public records that have the information you want.<\/p>\n
