Quick question, if I want to monitor Dutch companies hiring for SDR/BDR roles, how much credits would that cost me? Here it states (screenshot) 4.8k per run (which is half my Explorer credits). In this table, I have excluded some industries, but still many are included (resulting in 24465 companies being included still). Is that too large to monitor? Perhaps I need to focus more on certain industries?
Credit costs depend on which data providers and enrichments you use. Most actions cost 1-2 credits, but this varies by provider and data type. For 24,465 companies at 4.8k credits per run, you'd use nearly half your Explorer plan credits (10k-20k monthly). This is manageable but leaves limited credits for other enrichments. Consider narrowing by industry to reduce volume and save credits for additional data enrichment like emails or phone numbers. Use our credits calculator at clay.com/credits-calculator to estimate costs for your specific enrichment needs.
100% would niche down more
To narrow your Dutch SDR/BDR monitoring search and optimize credits: Industry Filtering: ** Exclude more industries in Find Companies to reduce your 24,465 company count ** Focus on high-growth sectors like SaaS, tech, or fintech that typically hire more SDR/BDR roles Additional Filters: ** Set company size ranges (e.g., 50-500 employees) to target companies likely hiring SDRs ** Add keywords like "sales," "revenue," or "growth" in company descriptions ** Use minimum follower counts to focus on active companies Optimize Search Strategy: ** Create smaller, focused lists of 1,000-3,000 companies for better testing ** Use Jobs as Enrichment on your refined company list rather than broad job searches ** Filter job keywords specifically for "BDR, SDR, Business Development Representative" This approach will significantly reduce credit consumption while maintaining quality targeting.
All clear, except this one - can you elaborate on this part? Use Jobs as Enrichment on your refined company list rather than broad job searches
Jobs as Enrichment means adding job data to your existing company list rather than searching for jobs first. Here's how it works: 1. Start with your refined company list - Use your existing table of Dutch companies (already filtered by industry/size) 2. Add Find Jobs Enrichment column - This pulls job data from PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native jobs database 3. Set search criteria: • Company domain (auto-populated) • Job keywords like "BDR, SDR" (optional filter) 4. Preview results - Run first 10 rows to see how many active jobs each company has Benefits: Instead of broad searches returning 20,000+ jobs globally, you're only checking job openings at your pre-qualified companies. This saves credits and gives you targeted hiring signals for companies already matching your ICP. You can then identify which companies are hiring 3+ SDR roles versus 500+ roles to prioritize outreach.
Which one do you mean here? "2. Add Find Jobs Enrichment column - This pulls job data from PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native jobs database" I cannot find "Find Jobs"
To add the Find Jobs enrichment: 1. Click "Add enrichment" in your Clay table 2. Search for "Find Jobs" or look under the Integrations section 3. Select the Find Jobs option from the results This enrichment pulls job data from PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native jobs database. You can then set your search criteria like company domain (auto-populated) and optional job keywords like "BDR, SDR". The enrichment will appear as a waterfall column that you can add to your existing company table.
When searching for "find jobs" I get a list and I need to choose, but I don't know which one. Preferably these are all searched "PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native jobs database" Bit lost here
There's only one "Find Jobs" enrichment in Clay - it automatically searches all three data sources: PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and our native jobs database. When you search for "Find Jobs" in the enrichment menu, select the single Find Jobs option that appears. This waterfall enrichment pulls data from all three sources simultaneously, so you don't need to choose between different providers. Once added, you can set job keywords like "BDR, SDR" to filter for your specific roles.
The idea is to create an evergreen campaign. Would you advise the same steps?
For evergreen campaigns, use Signals instead of the Find Jobs enrichment approach. Set up a Signal: 1. Start with your refined Dutch company list (filtered by industry/size) 2. Click Actions → "Monitor for new hires" 3. Configure filters for SDR/BDR keywords 4. Set frequency (daily/weekly runs) 5. Add enrichments for contact data Benefits over Find Jobs enrichment: ** Automatically detects new hiring activity ** Runs continuously without manual intervention ** Captures real-time hiring signals vs. static job postings ** Perfect for "always-on" outbound campaigns You can also create Custom Signals to monitor specific hiring patterns or company changes beyond standard job postings. This approach transforms your one-time search into a sustainable, automated monitoring system.
Can you calculate how much credit it would cost to monitor 1500 companies versus 25000 companies?
Credit costs for Signals monitoring aren't specified in our documentation. Most actions in Clay cost 1-2 credits, but Signals pricing varies based on the specific monitoring setup and frequency. Use our credits calculator at clay.com/credits-calculator to estimate costs for your specific monitoring needs. For accurate cost estimation, run a sample Signal with a portion of your list (100-1000 companies) to understand real-world credit consumption before scaling to your full 1,500 or 25,000 company lists. What specific enrichments do you plan to add when Signals detect new SDR/BDR hires at these companies?
Source: How Clay Credits Work
When it says "Your recurring cost will be ~299.8 credits per run." and I click "next", will it already be charged?
The credit cost estimate "~299.8 credits per run" is a preview showing what each execution will cost once your Signal runs. Clicking "next" won't charge you immediately - credits are only consumed when the Signal actually executes and processes data. You'll have the opportunity to review and confirm your Signal setup before it becomes active and starts consuming credits from your account balance. Are you setting up a new Signal for monitoring company hiring activity, or modifying an existing one?
