FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do talent marketplaces use Forager work emails?

Let a career-coaching or job-search platform show members who likely owns each open role and how to reach them directly. 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 talent marketplaces?

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 talent marketplaces add work emails?

Reach talent and hiring managers without manual lookups. Products like yours are judged on candidate replies, 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 the hiring manager for a job posting?

Pull matching postings for the member's target titles and locations with POST /job_search/. Find the likely hiring manager and team lead at the employer with POST /person_role_search/ (department, seniority, organization_domains).

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send ATS export (name, email, LinkedIn URL), candidate LinkedIn identifier and company filters. You get back work_email, phone_number, personal_email and company with open roles, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/work_emails/, as JSON.

Can we show Forager data inside 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.

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 plant managers hiring hourly workers?

Detect high-volume hourly hiring by site with POST /job_search/ (title, location, posted date). Find plant, warehouse and operations managers at each site with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title, location, organization_domains).

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.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

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.
