Reach Candidates at Their Personal Email and Direct Dial
ATS platforms do not enrich candidate data. Cleanlist's waterfall finds personal emails, direct dials, and verified phone numbers so your recruiters spend time talking to candidates, not searching for contact info.
Recruiters lose hours per day searching for candidate contact info because ATS platforms do not enrich profiles. Cleanlist's waterfall enrichment finds personal emails and direct dial phone numbers from 25+ sources, with 85% direct dial coverage and 98% email accuracy. Upload a candidate list CSV, get enriched data back in minutes, and start outreach immediately. No LinkedIn InMail limits, no manual research.
Why Recruiting & Staffing Need Different Enrichment
Why recruiting teams waste hours on stale candidate emails and missing phones.
ATS Platforms Do Not Enrich Candidate Data
Greenhouse, Lever, and Bullhorn track candidates through your pipeline, but none of them provide personal email addresses or direct phone numbers. Recruiters are left with whatever contact info the candidate provided, often just a LinkedIn URL.
Candidate Data Goes Stale Fast
Candidates change jobs, phone numbers, and email addresses more frequently than B2B contacts. A candidate sourced 6 months ago likely has outdated contact info. Re-enriching is not a feature most tools offer for recruiting use cases.
LinkedIn InMail Has Low Response Rates
InMail response rates average 10-15%. Direct email and phone outreach convert at 2-3x that rate. But getting personal emails and direct dials requires expensive tools or time-consuming manual research on every candidate.
Manual LinkedIn Scraping Is Slow and Risky
Recruiters resort to manually researching candidates on LinkedIn, Google, and company websites. This takes 15-20 minutes per candidate and risks LinkedIn account restrictions if you use unauthorized scraping tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Cleanlist find personal email addresses for candidates?
Yes. Cleanlist's waterfall queries multiple sources to find both work and personal email addresses. Personal emails are especially valuable in recruiting because they remain valid even after a candidate changes jobs. Every email is triple-verified for deliverability.
How does batch enrichment work for recruiting?
Export your candidate list from Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, or any ATS as a CSV. Upload it to Cleanlist. Within minutes, you get the file back enriched with verified emails, direct dial phone numbers, current company, and job title. Most recruiters process 200-500 candidates per batch.
Is Cleanlist compliant for recruiting outreach?
Cleanlist enriches B2B contact data from public business sources: professional networks, company websites, and business directories. Recruiting outreach to business professionals using business contact data follows the same legal framework as B2B sales outreach. Always follow local regulations (TCPA, CAN-SPAM, GDPR) for your specific outreach method.
How does Cleanlist compare to LinkedIn Recruiter?
LinkedIn Recruiter helps you find candidates on LinkedIn and message them via InMail. Cleanlist helps you reach them outside of LinkedIn with verified emails and direct phone numbers. Most recruiters use both. LinkedIn for sourcing and Cleanlist for multi-channel outreach that gets 2-3x the response rate of InMail alone.
What does 85% direct dial coverage mean?
For every 100 candidates you enrich, Cleanlist finds a verified direct dial phone number for approximately 85 of them. This comes from querying 25+ phone data providers in a waterfall. When one source does not have the number, the next one often does. Single-source tools typically achieve 40-60% phone coverage.
