Mapping Job Titles from Previous Tables in Clay Support

Sarosh S. · 2025-10-22T15:31:51.066Z

Hi Clay Support, I wanted to ask if there’s a way to map job titles from a previous table similar to how we use the Find People source and select a previous company table as an identifier to pull company URLs. Is it possible to reference or map the job title variable from a previous table in the same way?

Yes, you can reference job titles from a previous table using Lookup Rows. [1]
Use the Lookup Single Row in Other Table or Lookup Multiple Rows in Other Table action to search your previous table and retrieve the job title data. You'll specify the table to search, the target column (e.g., company name or identifier), and the filter criteria to match rows.
Alternatively, if you have a linked company table (like with Find People workflows), you can directly reference company-level data including job titles without additional lookups—similar to how you'd pull company URLs. [2]
You can also use write to table to transfer job title data between tables by mapping the job title column from your source table to the destination table. [3] [4]

To find people with job titles from Table 1 in a specific location using Find People in Table 2:
1.
Open Find People: In Table 2, click Actions → Find People at These Companies. [1]
2.
Reference Table 1: Under the Companies section, select Table 1 as your table reference and choose the appropriate company identifier (LinkedIn URL or domain).
3.
Map Job Titles: In the Job Title filter, reference the job title column from Table 1. You can use specific titles or broader job functions. [2]
4.
Set Location: Under Location filters, specify your target city, state, country, or region.
5.
Preview & Import: Click Preview People to verify results, then Import to save to Table 2.
The job titles from Table 1 will be used as search criteria, filtered by your specified location. [3]

There's no company identifier to map. It's only the job titles and location against which I want to put up a search using 'Find people'

You can absolutely run Find People searches using only job titles and location—no company identifier needed. [1]
Here's how:
1.
Click + Add at the bottom of your workbook
2.
Search for Find People
3.
In the search parameters: • Job Title: Enter specific titles or select job functions (e.g., "marketing," "engineering") [2] • Location: Specify your target city, state, country, or region
4.
Leave the Companies section empty—it's optional
5.
Preview your results and click Import
The search will find people matching those job titles in your specified location across all companies in our database.

I don' want to add the job titles and location manually. I want this to automatically pickup job title and location from the previous table columns and start the search

When setting up Find People, you can reference columns from your previous table instead of entering values manually. [1]
In the Job Title field, click the input and select the job title column from your previous table. Do the same for Location—select the location column from your previous table. [2]
This will automatically pull the job title and location values from each row in your previous table and run the search accordingly. [3]

Do we have 'Find people' enrichment available? Instead of source?

Yes, there's a "Find Contacts at Company" enrichment that adds people search results as columns in your current table, rather than creating a new table like the Find People source does. [1]
Additionally, some providers like Exellius and People Data Labs offer "Find People" enrichment actions that work within your existing table structure. [2] [3]
The key difference: "Find Contacts" enrichment saves results to your current table (and costs credits because it enriches with live LinkedIn data), while the Find People source creates a new table and is free.
