What do I need to run this recipe, and what comes back?

You send leadership title keywords and target company domain. You get back current leadership team, prior employers, recent senior departures and tenure, as JSON. You also need a Forager API key, which comes with a free account.

Which API shows executive departures at a company?

This recipe uses Forager People search and Person enrichment. People search: Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. Give a private-equity or corporate-development team a quick view of a target's current leaders, their tenure and background, and recent senior departures.

Can I test people search 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.

When should I run this workflow?

When a deal team starts diligence or a first-round review on a target company. Deal teams see management depth and turnover early, and know which questions to ask the target.

Which Forager products does this recipe use?

People search and person enrichment. People search: find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. Person enrichment: a full professional profile for a person from a LinkedIn URL, email or phone: experience, education, skills and contact channels.

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.

Which tools can run this workflow?

Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code, Make and n8n. Or call the endpoints in the steps above from your own code with one API key.

How many steps is this workflow?

4 steps: find current leaders with POST /person_role_search/ (organizations, role_is_current: true, role_title: chief OR vp OR head), find recent senior departures with the same search, role_is_current: false and role_position_end_date in the last 24 months, read each leader's history and education with POST /person_detail_lookup/ and summarise tenure, prior employers and turnover for the investment memo.

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 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 teams running this workflow.
