Email verification for staffing agency business development

The use case

Your sales team targets companies that hire in your sectors: a list of accounts, the hiring managers and HR contacts at each, and outreach when you have candidates to place. Work addresses go dead when a contact leaves. Verification before each campaign shows which contacts still have a working mailbox; the email finder fills in contacts who have no address on file. For candidate outreach, see the recruiters page.

The workflow

1. 1

   Export the target accounts

   Export the contacts for this campaign from your CRM or ATS as a CSV.

2. 2

   Fill gaps with the finder

   Use the email finder (name and company to a verified address) for hiring managers with no email on file.

3. 3

   Verify and split

   Valid addresses go into the campaign. Risky addresses (catch-alls, role inboxes such as hr@) are better reached by phone or LinkedIn.

4. 4

   Workspaces per branch or division

   On Agency, use a workspace per branch, division or client account so each desk's lists stay apart.

5. 5

   Write back the clean file

   Update the CRM with the results so the next campaign starts from a cleaner list.

Which plan fits

Business ($99) for a sales team of up to 5 on one list pool. Agency ($249) for 15 seats across branches, with workspaces to keep their lists apart. A single business developer may need only Pro ($39).

Full speed is a monthly volume, not a promise of hours. Mailbox checks are paced and the day's check capacity is shared between customers, so a very large list takes days. It queues rather than failing, and the job card shows an estimated finish time. Plan client deadlines around that.

Business contact data is still personal data in many places. Verification only checks deliverability; make sure you have a lawful basis to contact each person under the rules where they are.

Common questions

Does verification tell me if a hiring manager still works there?

No. It checks whether the address can receive mail. A mailbox can stay active after someone leaves, and a bounce is the usual first sign they have.

How do seats and client workspaces work?

A seat is one person, the owner included: Business has 5 seats and Agency has 15. Teammates share the account's lists, monthly volume and API keys. Client workspaces are on Agency: you pick a client when you upload a list, then filter History and exports by client. Deleting a workspace keeps its lists; they just lose the label.

What does the priority lane do, and how fast is it?

Big lists on Business and Agency go ahead of other big lists in the shared queue, within the plan's monthly full-speed volume. Small lists under 2,000 rows always run first on every plan. Full speed is a monthly volume, not a promise of hours. Mailbox checks are paced and the day's check capacity is shared between customers, so a very large list takes days. It queues rather than failing, and the job card shows an estimated finish time. Plan client deadlines around that.

Can we call it from our own tooling?

Yes. Business includes 100,000 API calls a month and Agency 300,000, then $1.00 per 1,000 on monthly billing. Docs are at /docs/api.
