Faizan A. Yeah, using a job description or opening in your Clay pipeline can help, but only if it's super clear and well defined. Otherwise, it can introduce a lot of noise and make the filters messy. So if the JD is tight and specific, it’s worth it just don’t rely on it too heavily.
For lookalikes, using target LinkedIn profiles (like top MPCs) is a smart move Just reverse-engineer their titles, skills companies and career paths to build filters. Think of it as creating a profile fingerprint then use that to find others who match. That way you're keeping it accurate without overcomplicating things. Keep the logic clean stack a few strong signals and you’ll build a solid qualified pipeline.
