Introduction to Jems: A Headhunter Exploring Lead Generation with Clay

·Aug 28, 2025 10:35 AM·

Hey everyone! I'm Sam, Founder at jems. We are a specialist headhunter (all roles hired by proven execs, not recruiters) and work with most of the top VCs in US and Europe. We're exploring Clay to generate leads (clients, not candidates) as we've grown through word of mouth until now. Nice to meet everyone

Welcome Sam 👋 awesome to have you here! Love what you’re building at jems — Clay can be a game-changer for generating client leads, especially when layered with enrichment + signals on VC-backed portfolios. We’ve helped other founder-led teams set up Clay flows to scale beyond word of mouth, so happy to swap notes if you’d find that useful 🚀 Best, Sourabh Panoptic Analytics panopticanalytics.com sourabh@panopticanalytics.com LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sourabh85/

Honestly cool to see a tech-forward headhunter Sam O.. I’ve pitched things like Clay to staffing firms for years and got crickets. So much upside here
