For consultancies using data internally
The job
Give an outbound agency a repeatable signal play for every client: when a target account posts a relevant role, reach the hiring leader with a message tied to that need.
When
A target account posts a job that implies the client's product is needed (e.g. a first RevOps hire or a new security team).
Outcome
Agency clients reach accounts at the moment a need is public, so first touches cite a real reason to talk.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do consultancies use Forager work emails?

Give an outbound agency a repeatable signal play for every client: when a target account posts a relevant role, reach the hiring leader with a message tied to that need. 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 consultancies?

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

Why do consultancies add work emails?

Reach the decision-makers on every project. Products like yours are judged on contacts that connect for every client, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what work emails returns for your users before you build on it.

How do I find hiring manager from a job posting?

Define per-client signal keywords and run POST /job_search/ daily (title, description keywords, location). Find the hiring manager and peer stakeholders with POST /person_role_search/.

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send client ICP, company filters and beats or topics. You get back work_email, phone_number, decision maker and brand list, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/, as JSON.

Can our users see Forager data in our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

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 consultancies 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 find distributors in a foreign country?

Search distributors and importers by industry, keywords and country with POST /organization_search/. Find the owner, managing director or purchasing head with POST /person_role_search/.

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 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.
