Here's your blueprint for finding positions for your candidate:
Step 1: Use Clay's Find Jobs Source
Start with a broad job search across all companies. Set parameters like job titles relevant to your candidate, location preferences, and job type (full-time, contract, etc.). [1]
Step 2: Scrape Job Boards with Chrome Extension
Install our Chrome extension to scrape job listings from various job boards. Create custom recipes for different job sites by selecting data points like job title, company, location, and requirements. [2] [3]
Step 3: Target Specific Companies
If you have an ideal company list, use the Find Jobs enrichment to see what positions they're actively hiring for. This pulls from multiple sources including Google Jobs and our native database. [4]
Step 4: Analyze Hiring Patterns
Look for companies hiring multiple roles (3+ positions) as they indicate growth and more opportunities.
Before diving deep, try using Sculptor (our AI tool in the top-right corner) to help build your job search workflow automatically - it's free and can save you tons of time setting this up!

For finding open jobs, you have two main approaches:
Find Jobs Source: Start with jobs as your primary search. Set parameters like job titles, locations, and job type to search across all companies or specific company lists. [1]
Find Jobs Enrichment: If you already have target companies, add the Find Jobs enrichment to pull active openings from PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native database. [2]
For company and people data scraping, use our Chrome extension to create recipes that extract data from individual pages. You can set URL patterns to automatically scrape similar pages. [3]
You can also use Apify actors for systematic data collection - connect third-party scrapers directly to Clay for automated enrichment. [4]
Before setting this up manually, try Sculptor (top-right corner) - it can build your job search workflow automatically and it's free to use!
