Which staffing and recruiting workflows use person enrichment?

Raise executive-search response rates with personal email and mobile, source clinical and operations leaders for healthcare and senior-living hiring and turn job changes into backfill signals for recruiters. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

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.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send executive long-list, facility locations and LinkedIn identifiers. You get back phone_number, candidate shortlist, personal_email and advertised flag, 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 staffing and recruiting firms 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.

How do I recruit senior living executive directors?

Filter people_feed by healthcare titles (administrator, director of nursing, executive director) and location radius. Rank by tenure and facility type from work history.

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 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.
