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?

Another question Clay needs company LinkedIn URLs or domains to track job postings What generates better results, domain or company LinkedIn URLs?
Company domains generate better results for tracking job postings in Clay. All job tracking integrations (PredictLeads, Apollo, Find Jobs enrichment) use company domains as their primary input for retrieving job data. While LinkedIn URLs provide highest accuracy for company enrichment, job posting searches specifically require domains to access job databases effectively.
Regarding this When it says "Your recurring cost will be ~299.8 credits per run." and I click "next", will it already be charged? I clicked "next" and now I can choose which job titles (which I did chose). Also I can chose limit per company. Explain why I should, or should not do this
Setting a limit per company in Signal setup controls how many job openings you track per organization. Why set a limit: ** Credit efficiency - Large companies may have 500+ open roles, consuming excessive credits ** Quality focus - Smaller hiring volumes (3-5 roles) often indicate more targeted, relevant opportunities ** Budget control - Prevents single companies from dominating your credit spend Pros of limiting: ** Lower credit consumption per run ** Focus on companies with manageable hiring volumes ** Better signal quality from targeted hiring Cons of limiting: ** May miss high-growth companies with aggressive hiring ** Could exclude enterprise opportunities with large sales teams Recommendation: Start with 5-10 jobs per company to balance cost and opportunity coverage.

Now I have the job (7) openings currently, with a refresh weekly, from a list of 1499 companies I choose before, now I want to find the people at these companies (CEO and similar roles) AND have this info pushed to QuickMail automatically into a running campaign. How can I do this?
To find CEOs at your 1,499 companies: 1. Click Actions → Find People at These Companies 2. Set Company Identifier to your company domains or LinkedIn URLs 3. In Job title filters, select organizational level "C-suite" or enter specific titles like "CEO" 4. Run the search to create a new people table For QuickMail integration, you'll need to set up our "write to table" feature or use our integrations to push the enriched contact data to your QuickMail campaign. The specific QuickMail automation setup isn't covered in our current documentation, so you may need to explore our integrations section for the exact workflow.
what do you mean by this? 2. Set Company Identifier to your company domains or LinkedIn URLs
"Company Identifier" means selecting which column in your table contains the company data Clay will use to find people. Choose the column with either: ** Company domains (e.g., "clay.com") ** Company LinkedIn URLs (e.g., "https://www.linkedin.com/company/clay-run") LinkedIn URLs provide highest accuracy. For QuickMail integration, you'll need to use our "write to table" feature after finding the CEOs. The specific QuickMail automation setup isn't covered in our current documentation - you may need to explore our integrations section for the exact workflow.
Something else, you said 1. Click Actions → Find People at These Companies I don't have this option. When I click on actions the option that is most closely related is "find more people"
-
The "Find People at These Companies" option should appear under Actions when you have a companies table selected. If you don't see it, ensure you're in a companies table (not a people table) when clicking Actions. "Find more people" is different - it's for expanding existing people lists, not finding people at specific companies. For finding CEOs at your 1,499 companies, you need "Find People at These Companies" which: 1. Uses your company domains/LinkedIn URLs as input 2. Lets you filter by organizational level "C-suite" or specific titles like "CEO" 3. Creates a new linked people table Try switching to your companies table first, then check Actions again.
-
The "Find People at These Companies" option appears under Company actions when you're in a companies table. Since you see "Company actions" and "Person actions," you should find it there. To find CEOs at your 1,499 companies: 1. Click Company actions → Find People at These Companies 2. Select your company domains or LinkedIn URLs as the identifier 3. In job title filters, enter "CEO" or select organizational level "C-suite" 4. Set your search parameters and click "Preview People" 5. If satisfied, click "Import" and "Save to new table" If you still don't see the option, ensure you're clicking on the correct companies table containing your 1,499 companies.
You said For finding CEOs at your 1,499 companies, you need "Find People at These Companies" which: I only want to contact the CEOs of the companies that have job openings currently, which is 7. And then every week it should refresh
Remember this is for an evergreen campaign
To find CEOs at your 7 companies with job openings: 1. Filter your table to show only the 7 companies with current job openings 2. Click Company actions → Find People at These Companies 3. Select your company domains or LinkedIn URLs as the identifier 4. In job title filters, enter "CEO" to target only chief executives 5. Set a limit of 1-2 per company to avoid multiple results 6. Click "Preview People" then "Import" and "Save to new table" For weekly refresh, set up a Signal to monitor for job changes on your CEO contacts. Click Actions → Monitor for job changes, select weekly frequency, and enable "Update outdated rows" to track any CEO changes. Use our "write to table" feature to push the enriched CEO data to your QuickMail campaigns.
For an evergreen campaign that automatically refreshes weekly: Set up Scheduled Sources: 1. Use Clay Scheduling to automatically refresh your job postings data weekly 2. This keeps your list of companies with current openings updated without manual work Find CEOs automatically: 1. Click Company actions → Find People at These Companies on your filtered table (companies with job openings) 2. Target "CEO" job titles specifically 3. Set limit to 1-2 per company to avoid duplicates Automate the workflow: ** Schedule your sources to run weekly, ensuring fresh job data ** Use our "write to table" feature to push enriched CEO data to QuickMail * This creates an "always on" outbound campaign that continuously finds new CEOs at companies actively hiring The scheduling feature automatically pulls new job postings and identifies CEOs at those companies weekly, creating a sustainable growth engine for your evergreen campaign .
So to recap Now I have a workbook with 1. Source 2. Company Table 3. Signal 4. Person Table (with the 7 job vacancies) Now I think I need to do smth in the Person Table, but maybe I am wrong.
Bc you keep telling me 1. Click Company actions → Find People at These Companies on your filtered table (companies with job openings) But I cannot find that in the person table
For your evergreen campaign, work from your Person Table (with 7 job openings): Find CEOs: 1. Click Actions → Find People at These Companies 2. Set Company Identifier to your company domains/LinkedIn URLs 3. Filter job titles to "CEO" or organizational level "C-suite" 4. Set limit to 1-2 per company to avoid duplicates Automate the workflow: ** Use Clay Scheduling to refresh your job postings data weekly ** Set up "write to table" feature to push enriched CEO data to QuickMail automatically ** This creates an always-on campaign that continuously finds new CEOs at companies actively hiring *Pull company data: Rerun the lookup column linking to your company table to refresh enriched company data into your people table for personalization This creates a sustainable evergreen system that automatically identifies and contacts CEOs at companies with fresh job openings weekly.
The problem at the moment is, I cannot find this 1. Click Actions → Find People at These Companies Yes, actions is there, but there is no option "Find People at These Companies"
Perhaps I need to do this in the company table and not the person table??
Is the bot still working?
Hello Jelle! Thanks for reaching out! I tried clicking into the table but it says the table does not exist anymore. For Company table: Actions > Find people at these companies For People table: Actions > Find more people In the People table you can also re run the source to see if it is adding more people. Keep an eye on the limit of records you allow into the table in the source configuration. You can check that by clicking into the source and scrolling all the way down to the section that says Limit.
For the company table:
