Best Practices to Verify Prospects' Employment Status

Is there a way to double check if prospects still work at the same company? When selecting the target group, I assume when selecting job title and company the prospects that are shown are relevant and up to date. But that's not always the case. I have been having some issues recently with prospects not working at companies anymore. Usually they left the job 2/3/4 months ago. Is there a way to tackle this? It's not for our own campaigns, but for the campaigns of our clients, some of whom get upset

Yes, there are several ways to verify if prospects still work at their companies: Job Change Tracking Signal: Use our Track Job Changes feature by providing the "Company LinkedIn URL" column along with person data. This will generate job change events if someone's current company differs from what you provided, helping identify who left 2-4 months ago. Verification Template: We have a "Verify if a person still works at a company" template that uses LinkedIn URLs to check current employment status. This workflow is perfect for enriching old contact lists to determine if former contacts switched jobs. Job Mover Detection: Use our formulas and LinkedIn enrichment to find prospects who changed companies in the last 3, 6, or 12 months. You can bulk upload LinkedIn URLs via CSV to check employment status at scale. These solutions will help ensure your client campaigns target currently employed prospects and reduce client complaints about outdated contact information.

You can enrich LinkedIn profiles using our built-in integrations instead of external services. Use "Enrich Person from Profile" with LinkedIn URLs to get comprehensive person data including current employment status. Alternatively, try LeadIQ's "Enrich Person" action which takes LinkedIn URLs and returns current company information. Prospeo also offers "Find Work Email and Enrich Person from LinkedIn URL" for enrichment. After enrichment, filter your table to remove people whose current company doesn't match your target company. This approach keeps everything within Clay and ensures you're working with up-to-date employment data.

The template exists but appears to have a broken share link. The page shows "Uh oh, we can't find this share link" with options to reload or duplicate. Try reloading the page or use the duplicate button. If that doesn't work, request human assistance by clicking "Talk to a person" for help accessing the template.

The template link you're trying to access appears to be broken. The page shows "Uh oh, we can't find this share link" which means the template was either unshared by its creator or there's an issue with the link. You can try clicking the "Duplicate" button on that page if it's available, or if you need further help accessing this specific template, request human assistance by clicking "Talk to a person."
