It’s hard to estimate, because this depends on what companies that you put in, and on how extensive your LinkedIn network is.

The product restricts usage to 500 profile/search downloads a day. This is for your account safety. For each company search, the product uses at least 2 of these downloads, irrespective of whether it finds matching prospects or not. The number of matching profiles count for 1 download each.

Hiring Prospector relies on LinkedIn to serve relevant and matching records. When you ask for Title = CEO, LinkedIn may serve “Chief of Staff to CEO”, or “Executive Assistant to CEO”, or “Deputy CEO”. Notice that LinkedIn is giving you records with a partial match.

If this is not the results that you expect, then you can make use of the Ignore Setting.

1. Hiring Prospector then select Options
   
   
   
   
2. Type the titles you want to ignore.
   
   
   
   

Hiring Prospector relies on LinkedIn to serve relevant and matching records. When you ask for Seniority = C-Level, LinkedIn may serve non-C-Level people as well.

Hiring Prospector does not heavily filter such records.

You need to edit your search template so that such records are not served by LinkedIn.

However, beware of making your search criteria too tight - you may lose the records you intend to find. From a search strategy point of view, it is better to have a loose criteria which gets a handful of non-matching records, than have a tight criteria which ignores your target records.
