How to test it
Test person enrichment on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do HR tech companies use Forager person enrichment?
⌄
Let recruiters contact a shortlisted candidate immediately with a personal email or mobile shown on the card. A full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
What does person enrichment cost for HR tech companies?
⌄
Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 person enrichments use 1,000 credits: about $13 of Starter credits month to month, or about $10 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Which HR tech workflows use person enrichment?
⌄
Show verified contact details on every AI-sourced candidate card, build natural-language candidate search on a licensed people feed and replace InMail with email-first outreach to passive engineers. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.
How AI recruiting tools find candidate emails?
⌄
Resolve the candidate with POST /person_detail_lookup/ (linkedin_public_identifier). Fetch personal_email (preferred for passive candidates), then mobile and work_email.
What inputs does it take and what does it return?
⌄
You send candidate profile URL, applicant personal email and ATS export (name, email, LinkedIn URL). You get back personal_email, phone_number, current employer and personal email, from POST /person_detail_lookup/, as JSON.
Am I charged when nothing is found?
⌄
Yes. Person enrichment is charged per request, whether or not data comes back. Only mobile and email lookups are free when nothing is found, so try your inputs on a small run before you scale.
Can HR tech companies test person enrichment for free?
⌄
Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.
What data do AI recruiting search engines like natural-language sourcing tools use?
⌄
You send people feed and company feed. You get back searchable candidate index, semantic match and company tags. Recruiters surface niche, non-applicant profiles and cut sourcing time.
How accurate is Forager data?
⌄
The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.
How is person enrichment different from scraping profiles myself?
⌄
Scraping means running and repairing your own collection pipeline and deciding what to do when a page changes. Person enrichment returns a structured profile (experience, education, skills and contact channels) from one API call, from data Forager licenses and maintains.
Where can I use Forager person enrichment?
⌄
Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Do I need a subscription?
⌄
Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using person enrichment, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
Written answers are not available right now. The matching pages above still help, or book a demo and ask the team.
