Hi team,I'm trying to create a column in Clay to help find candidates for a job position. I'd like to create a column where I can input 5 companies that are similar to the company I'm hiring for, so I can identify lookalike candidates.

To create a column for similar companies and find lookalike candidates for a job position in Clay, follow these steps: 1. Start by adding an Ocean.io column to your existing table. 2. Use this column to input up to 10 domains as your seed companies. 3. Use our "write to table" feature to organize the lookalike data, including fields like company name, domain, and similarity score. 4. To find job openings within these lookalike companies, add a "Job Openings" waterfall column. 5. Set the company domain as a parameter and add relevant keywords for the positions you're interested in (e.g., "BDR," "SDR"). This approach will help you identify lookalike companies and potential job openings within them, combining the power of company lookalikes and job enrichment in Clay.
