    Hey there Taha thanks for reaching out, you can do this by clicking on the "Actions" button in the upper right hand corner of the table and selecting "Find people at these Companies" option. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1221302223/0094ca478bd259d9e507620d941f/image.png?expires=1729296900&signature=0bd79bc460c6d9a3e7fa7ed6449c58a94cebe28c4e60b42737984679a5ef09f8&req=dSIlF8p%2Bn4NdWvMW1HO4zeQBL9LidPohVeZvrApFDBaiINYTw7L0pFfLs%2FAa%0ApY5u%0A From here make sure that the Column being used as the source for the search is your "Company LinkedIn URL" column. And then enter in all of the Job Titles you are looking for and generate a list of contacts. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1221302464/278bae924821e0816f57fc121ba7/image.png?expires=1729296900&signature=cb80ff596eeecae0b81d04ffe86e7a8f84ece32051531782c7174fbf6575caf5&req=dSIlF8p%2Bn4VZXfMW1HO4zfd9EB%2Bqsrc20d%2FWjdV1pPMj%2FqXaHBa7BL%2BwZ8BI%0ACZUV%0A

    I see to provide a bit more context on these results: So Clay does not receive data directly from LinkedIn, but rather integrate with multiple data providers that provide company/people data. The data you can access from our third-party data providers may include data that can also be found on LinkedIn. If you're looking for this type of data, we recommend starting with the "Find People"/"Find Company"/"find people from sales nav" sources. Because we don't use your live login session to get company/contact data and profiles that are restricted or set to private may be missed. Results from the people search typically get impacted by the following instances: 1. Inputting semantic search parameter instead of syntactic search: A limited set of job title keywords are applied to the role being targeted. Our search algorithms are based on syntactic search which means you must put every variation of the keywords you're looking for (ie CEO and Chief Executive Officer). When this happens, some matching profiles may be missed because they were not included in the search query. Sales Nav is able to do semantic search which is also helpful. 2. Mapping the wrong inputs in the people filters. For example, not mapping LinkedIn urls from the company table to run the search. 3. Search limits applied to the people search. This reduces the number of records that can be imported from a search. 4. Private profiles: As mentioned above our data providers use a multitude of ways to access people and company data. For the most part though, we don't use your cookie/login data. This means that we could miss some information here and there, especially if there are privacy restrictions in place for certain profiles. This would mean that your logged in profile has access to it, but our data providers may not. Sales Nav has access to private profiles which is also why you might find better data quality results here. All this being said, we're continuously working on improving our search algorithm/building the best growth tool possible and are always looking for feedback! Also happy to take a look at your current search parameters in your table and make suggestions where needed.

    Hey Taha, thanks for flagging that issue. It looks like we've got a bug on our hands - I've escalated this over to our engineering team and we'll let you know as soon as we know more! However, you can still manually type in specific titles and click on "create" to add them into the criteria.

    I've tried to manually type them but its not impacting the search results. If i add alot of the the title, its still showing 50 results. I know there must be more than 50 results because they are big companies.

    Certainly! Some drawbacks could be due to reasons LuisArturo pointed out above, given our provider don't use your cookies or LI session to scrape profiles online, if they're private (you can only see them while logged in) then it's likely they can't be scraped. Other common situations I encounter is people spell out variations of their title that would need to be considered so they're surfaced. Our tool will only show you preview of the first 50 from the entire search but finally import up to the specified limit thus could that some do not appear in the preview but are imported in the end. We'll keep you posted on the issue!

    Hey Taha! Wanted to give you an update about the list stopping at letter ''C'' situation. Our team let us know this was intentional to ensure the tool worked properly but as you type in it will surface other values. However, they're considering your feedback to make improvements on the tool and ensure it's easier to navigate in coming iteration. Thanks!
