Great idea. Where are you currently sourcing this info from?


This format is great! Thanks for the tip


Thanks. Will give a try


Ha. Guess you’re right. Have you?


We're currently experimenting, using a combination of scraping websites, social, job boards, and different data services.

Do I understand you correctly, that the company provided would have been a good lead, but the actual contact of the person, their role, etc was off?


The issues would mostly be around stale data/ wrong titles. Even if you verify contact details periodically people can still change jobs in between.


Thanks! Good to know. Zoominfo feels expensive though.


Awesome! We'll be in touch within 48 hours.


Thanks! I took a look at Apollo, and even with large discount found the price quite steep.

Nice idea with scraping job sites. Have you had any luck with any particular one?

Kinda want to avoid another CRM, and just get a smart list that I can build my own workflow around.


I have a solution to scrape job portals like LinkedIn, Indeed, and a couple more. But the jobs data's value plummet very sharply over time and extracting this data at a large scale is quite extensive. Not sure what is your though.


This sounds interesting. I saw that you built https://datachroma.com/ - is this what you're referring to?


We used indeed as the pilot. Don’t try this on LI as your account will be banned.

You can also test out clay- they have a free tier that I think includes new job alerts based on LinkedIn.


Have you looked for options already?


Is the problem that this kind of tool doesn't exist because hiring data is so fragmented? Some data on different ATS platforms, some on LinkedIn, but all with restricted APIs?


I'm curious about this too.

Feels like you need a specific structure in place to avoid constant context switching. Also I'm guessing it depends on the level of interaction you already have with your user base, e.g. dev tools know their customers already well, but other industries less so.
