How to test it
Test work emails 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.
Let recruiters contact a shortlisted candidate immediately with a personal email or mobile shown on the card. Verified work email addresses for a person at their current employer. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
What do work emails cost for HR tech companies?
⌄
Work emails: 5 credits per work email found, and a work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.07 per work email on Starter month to month and $0.05 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Which HR tech workflows use work emails?
⌄
Show verified contact details on every AI-sourced candidate card, refresh stale ATS candidate records so past applicants resurface and help job seekers reach the hiring manager behind a job posting. 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 ATS export (name, email, LinkedIn URL), candidate LinkedIn identifier and locations. You get back personal_email, phone_number, work_email and current employer, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/, as JSON.
Am I charged when no work email is found?
⌄
No. A work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for work emails we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.
Can HR tech companies test work emails 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.
How do I update outdated candidate records in my ATS?
⌄
Match ATS records by email with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ or by LinkedIn identifier. Update current role_title, employer and skills from POST /person_detail_lookup/.
How do I know the data is right?
⌄
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 a work email finder different from guessing the email pattern?
⌄
A pattern guess (first.last@company.com) gives you an address that may not exist or may belong to someone who left. A work email lookup returns the address for that person at their current employer, and with Forager a work email lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits.
Where can I use Forager work emails?
⌄
Native in Clay and Zapier, 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 work emails, 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.
