How are the sources in "Find Contacts at Company" and "Find People At These Companies" different? Which has more contact data?
"Find Contacts at Company" adds contacts from Companies, People, and Jobs data sources as new columns to existing tables. "Find People at These Companies" creates a new table of people who work at specified companies, with options to filter by job title and other criteria. The latter automatically links to your company table, allowing you to pull company attributes into your people data without additional enrichment costs.
What are the data sources for both? Are they different? Which has more data?
Both features use the same "Companies, People, and Jobs" data sources, which combine data from 100+ providers enhanced with Clay's data-cleaning methods. The difference is in functionality: ** "Find Contacts at Company" adds contacts as new columns to existing tables ** "Find People at These Companies" creates a new table of people who work at specified companies Neither has inherently more data since they draw from the same sources. Your choice depends on whether you want to add contacts to an existing table or create a dedicated people table.

The "Find Contacts at Company" tool has been doing a poor job at finding contacts. What are other sources you recommend I use to pull that data into my Clay table?
If "Find Contacts at Company" isn't finding enough contacts, you can try these alternative data sources: 1. Use "Find People at These Companies" feature instead, which creates a dedicated people table with filtering options for job titles and other criteria. 2. Try these specialized contact data providers: • People Data Labs • ZoomInfo • Prospeo • SMARTe 3. For email-specific providers: • Enrichley • Enrow • Findymail • FullEnrich The "Find People" approach has the added benefit of automatically linking to your company table, letting you pull company attributes into your people data without additional enrichment costs.
The people data labs, zoominfo, and prospeo do not have integrations to search for people meeting certain criteria at specific comapnies. Is it possible to use those tools to find contacts at a company that meet job title specifications?
Yes, you can use these providers to find contacts with specific job titles through Clay's "Find People at These Companies" feature. To do this: 1. Go to "Actions" and select "Find People at These Companies" 2. Select your company table and specify the company identifier (LinkedIn URL or domain) 3. Use the "job title" filter to specify the positions you're looking for 4. Click "Preview People" then "Import" and "Save to new table" This approach leverages Clay's integration with these data providers while giving you the filtering capabilities you need.
This is not using prospeo, zoominfo, nor people labs like you suggested.
Hey — great question. The “Find Contacts at Company” and “Find People At These Companies” use different providers. ** Find Contacts at Company (used at the row level in a table) runs in real time and typically uses a more premium provider. ** Find People At These Companies (used as a block) pulls from a different provider and is more general.
If you’re seeing poor results with one, try using the other, or enrich with Claygent to get more tailored data. Here's a video showing you how to find more people at these companies: https://cln.sh/pHgLKqxZ
