Discrepancy in Job Search Results: Preview vs. Exported Data

Jessica A. · 2025-05-14 18:26:20.386038+00

Hi, I noticed a significant discrepancy in the job search feature: • *Preview Estimate:* 1,138 results shown • *Exported File:* Only 158 rows generated This difference seems unusual. Could you help clarify why this might be happening?

This discrepancy is normal and occurs because a limit is likely being applied to your job search. While the preview shows the total universe of results that match your criteria (1,138), the actual export reflects any limits applied to the search. In Clay's job search feature, you can typically import up to 1,000 jobs per query, but there may be default or custom limits in place. For example, if you're using the "Find Jobs" source, it may have a default limit setting that's restricting your export to 158 rows. To increase the number of results in your export: 1. Check your search filters for any limit parameters 2. Adjust these limits before importing again 3. Consider breaking your search into multiple more specific queries

I didn't put any limit, but I tried with 2.000 limit, but it just created 170 rows

Hey, Quick question—was this your first time running the search, or had you previously added results and then deleted some? That could help explain the difference. Happy to dig in further once we know that.

The first, then I tried again in another workbook, 3 times

Sorry for this, it looks like we've got a bug on our hands. I've escalated this to our engineering team to help look into it. We'll follow up here as soon as we know more!

Ok, thanks

Hey, I heard back from the team—this is happening because there’s a limit per company, and the search isn’t accounting for that. It can’t calculate the company-specific limit, which is why you’re seeing fewer results in the table. Really appreciate you flagging it.

I'll try to use it without this filter, just to make sure
