Issues with Clay's Contact Accuracy: Solutions Needed

Pete B. · 2025-04-17 09:35:34.391391+00

I’ve found when using the Clay “Find Contacts at Company” enrichment it can report on folks that are no longer working at the company since like 6 months (when checking on LinkedIn) - how do folks work with this?

To address outdated contact information when using the "Find Contacts at Company" feature, you can: 1. Use the "Contact Employment Start & End Date" data point to check when a person's employment ended. 2. Cross-reference with "Contact Current Employer" to verify if the company listed is still accurate. 3. Utilize "Contact Former Titles" to see if the person has moved to a new role or company. These data points can help you identify and filter out outdated information. Remember to regularly update your contact lists to maintain accuracy. Have you tried using any of these data points to verify contact information? If not, which one would you like to start with?

The "Contact Employment Start & End Date" is a data point available in Clay. You can find it when you're working with contact information in our app. This data point helps you discover when a contact started and ended their employment, allowing you to track their career timeline. To access this information, you'll need to use either the Apollo.io or Snov.io integration in Clay. These integrations allow you to find and enrich contact data, including employment dates. If you need more detailed instructions on how to use this data point, let me know, and I can provide further guidance.

Isn’t Companies, People, Jobs > Find Contacts At Company native to Clay?

Yes, you're correct. The "Find Contacts at Company" feature is indeed native to Clay under the Companies, People, and Jobs integration. It's an action that allows users to find and add contacts from these data sources directly into Clay tables as new columns. This feature enables you to efficiently expand your contact database within the context of specific companies.
