Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do staffing and recruiting firms use Forager people search?
⌄
Show TA teams and agencies how many qualified people exist, where they work and who competes for them. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
What does people search cost for staffing and recruiting firms?
⌄
People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 search requests 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 staffing and recruiting workflows use people search?
⌄
Map talent pools and recruitment niches for hard-to-fill roles, source senior and specialist engineers for staff-augmentation placements and win new staffing clients by reaching hiring leaders behind open roles. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.
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.
What do I send, and what comes back?
⌄
You send company filters, geography and hiring leader titles. You get back hiring leader, phone_number, work_email and candidate shortlist, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.
Am I charged when nothing is found?
⌄
Yes. People search 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.
Is there a free way to try Forager?
⌄
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 find senior engineers by skill and country?
⌄
Search candidates by skills, title, seniority and country with POST /person_role_search/. Check tenure and previous employers with POST /person_detail_lookup/.
How do you check data quality?
⌄
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 people search API different from searching profiles by hand?
⌄
Searching by hand works for a handful of accounts. A people search API filters by title, seniority, department and location across your target companies in one request, returns people your product can act on, and hands off to a contact lookup for the mobile or email.
Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?
⌄
Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
⌄
No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using people search, 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.
