Henrique D.

Hey Alexander, I'm also using Clay in the talent space, although I'm only focused on the employer/recruiter side of things. Happy to have a chat about best practices in this space if you're up for it. Just sent you a connection request.

Perfect! Just sent you a DM with the scheduling link

Hey Dennis! I'm also using clay for recruitment. I can relate to the initial "this is harder than I thought" feeling but try to stick with it as it gets much easier with time. Clay can be really effective for recruitment but it really depends on how you use it, since it's such a flexible tool. I'm happy to share some best practices I've picked up over the years. If you think it would be helpful, just let me know, and we can arrange a time

I've had success with SignalHire

Yes, Clay now has it natively integrated, so you just need to sign up to SignalHire and add the API key to Clay. SignalHire is affordable and provides more info than just email. As you might guess from the name, the data they have is particularly helpful for recruiters.

Hey Alexander, I worked with Ilhan on this, so I can tell you we use SignalHire to get personal emails (and if that doesn’t work, we use one of the Clay personal email waterfalls). I work with another client who operates in the German market, and I haven’t found any reliable source of personal emails. This varies significantly depending on the industry, but Germany is notorious for data protection laws, and people, in general, are more protective of their personal data. We were more successful with work emails if that’s something you can consider. Hope that helps, and feel free to message me if you have additional questions

I see, thanks for the info, Daniel. I have to say none of those things make any difference to my workflow. Although I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “save config” for callbacks. If I had to pick one thing I’d like changed, it would be (native) support for objects and lists. I think Airtable does a decent job of balancing having a simple interface while still allowing technical users to write scripts and other more advanced features. Also, the way that columns and views are managed in their UI is something I dearly miss in Clay. For example, if you have multiple views, every time you add a column, it gets added to all the views. And you have to manually edit the visibility and order of columns in each of the individual views, which is a pain. Sorry for the rant I just have I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Clay 😅. And, unfortunately, I don’t see a roadmap that will improve my experience but that’s probably because the way I use it is atypical

Sent you a DM earlier today explaining it. Happy to continue the convo here if it’s easier
