Difference in Search Results: Clay vs. Sales Navigator | Need Your Help

·

Hi There, I notice a difference in the results when searching for people via Clay and via Sales Navigator directly. Are you aware of that and might this be something you can look into? If you wish I can send you screenshots of the difference.

Hey Olivier, thanks for reaching out! Yeah, happy to check this out. To clarify, are you using the **Find People from Sales Navigator URL **integration to import leads or Find People from LinkedIn?

Sorry for the delay! Okay, so the difference may be due to the type of scraping this tool does, since it can't connect to your active LinkedIn session or cookies, it can't use any "saved searches" or your session-related filters like connection degree and such.It can only take general Sales Navigator searches that don't include the previous criteria.

The only other workaround that helps if you need a more refined list of searches would be using another capable scraper like Phantombuster to scrape Sales Navigator directly
