SourceFence – Flags restricted locations and companies on LinkedIn

Summary: SourceFence is a Chrome extension that flags restricted candidates on LinkedIn by applying location and company restriction rules with severity levels. It works in real time across LinkedIn, Recruiter, and Sales Navigator, helping recruiting teams maintain sourcing compliance without external data sharing.

What it does

SourceFence lets users add restriction rules for locations and companies, then displays alert banners on matching LinkedIn profiles and search results. It supports comma-separated location patterns, company name normalization, and optional expiry dates for temporary restrictions.

Who it's for

It is designed for recruiting teams and sourcers who need to comply with sourcing restrictions and avoid contacting candidates from off-limits locations or companies.

Why it matters

SourceFence prevents recruiters from accidentally approaching restricted candidates by providing real-time alerts, reducing the risk of violating non-solicit agreements or geographic sourcing limits.
