What staffing & recruiting teams check before they trust a contact source
A valid-looking number that rings for the wrong person costs the call and the trust. Three questions decide whether a record is worth showing.
- Does it connect? A number that is dead or disconnected wastes the call.
- Does the name match? A live number for someone else is worse than none.
- Is it the profile you asked about? Not a namesake, not a former owner of the number.

Questions staffing & recruiting buyers ask
How do staffing and recruiting firms use B2B data from Forager?
Staffing and recruiting firms run 12 workflows on Forager, among them: map talent pools and recruitment niches for hard-to-fill roles, raise executive-search response rates with personal email and mobile and win new staffing clients by reaching hiring leaders behind open roles. The products behind them are mobile numbers, people search, person enrichment and people data feed.
How much does Forager cost for staffing and recruiting firms?
Every product draws on one credit balance. Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles, 1,650 emails or 8,250 search requests, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Which Forager products do staffing and recruiting firms use most?
Mobile numbers (8 recipes), people search (5 recipes), person enrichment (5 recipes) and people data feed (4 recipes), counted across the recipes on this page. Every product draws on one credit balance, so you can mix them on one plan.
Can staffing and recruiting firms test mobile numbers 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 many candidates exist for a role?
Count matching people in people_feed by title, skills and location (or /person_role_search/totals/). Group by current employer using company_feed.
How do I know the data is right?
Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. 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 to contact C-suite candidates discreetly?
Use /person_contacts_lookup/personal_emails/ as the first step of the personal-email waterfall. Add a direct mobile from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ for senior candidates.
Which tools does Forager work with for staffing and recruiting firms?
Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo, delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3 and called through the API from Make, n8n, your own code and Google BigQuery. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
How large is the Forager dataset?
800M+ people and 65M+ companies, with job postings by company. For staffing and recruiting firms, the products used most are mobile numbers, people search and person enrichment. The fair test of coverage is your own list: send a sample and see what comes back.
Do I need a subscription?
Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, 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.
How is a mobile number lookup API different from a contact database?
A contact database sells access to a list, often by seat or by export. A lookup API answers one person at a time inside your product or workflow: you send the LinkedIn URL or email you already hold and get back a mobile number in one JSON response. With Forager a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for numbers, not for searches.
How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?
Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover use by staffing and recruiting firms. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
