Find Candidates and Clients Faster with Verified Contact Data
Recruitment firms live and die by their ability to reach candidates and hiring managers directly. Cleanlist delivers verified emails and phone numbers so your recruiters spend time placing, not searching.
The Data Challenges Staffing & Recruitment Firms Face
Common data quality problems that slow down growth and waste resources.
Outdated Candidate Contact Information
Candidates change jobs frequently, making stored contact data stale within months. Recruiters waste hours calling disconnected numbers and sending emails that bounce, especially for passive candidates who haven't updated their profiles.
Finding Direct Dials for Hiring Managers
Getting past gatekeepers is the hardest part of business development for staffing firms. Without verified direct phone numbers and personal email addresses for hiring managers, your BD team relies on cold LinkedIn messages with 5% response rates.
Duplicate Records Across Sourcing Tools
Recruiters source candidates from LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and the ATS. Each source creates its own record, leading to duplicate candidates in the database and embarrassing double-outreach to the same person from different recruiters.
Scaling Outreach Without Sacrificing Quality
Growing firms need to contact more candidates and clients without increasing bounce rates or spam complaints. Poor data quality makes high-volume outreach a reputation risk rather than a growth lever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Cleanlist help recruiters find candidate contact info?
+
Cleanlist enriches candidate records from your ATS or sourcing spreadsheet with verified personal emails, mobile phone numbers, and current employment data. You can upload a CSV of candidate names and companies, or paste LinkedIn profile URLs, and get back complete contact records. The waterfall enrichment engine checks multiple data sources to maximize coverage, especially for passive candidates who aren't actively job-seeking.
Can Cleanlist find direct dial numbers for hiring managers?
+
Yes. Our People Search feature lets you search by company, job title, and seniority level to find decision-makers at target accounts. Results include verified direct dial phone numbers and business email addresses. This is particularly valuable for staffing BD teams who need to reach VPs of Engineering, Talent Acquisition Directors, or other hiring authorities directly.
How does Cleanlist handle candidate data compliance?
+
Cleanlist sources data from publicly available business information and professional networks. We do not scrape private social media or access data that requires consent for business use. All enrichment follows standard B2B data practices. For firms operating in regulated markets, our data sourcing documentation is available upon request to support your compliance reviews.
How often should we re-enrich our candidate database?
+
We recommend re-enriching active candidate records every 90 days, as the average professional changes contact details 2-3 times per year. For high-priority candidate pools or hot roles, monthly re-verification of email and phone data ensures your recruiters aren't wasting time on stale contact information. Cleanlist makes re-enrichment simple with batch CSV uploads.
Does Cleanlist integrate with applicant tracking systems?
+
Cleanlist works with any ATS that supports CSV export and import, which covers Bullhorn, JobAdder, Lever, Greenhouse, and most other major platforms. Export your candidate list, enrich it through Cleanlist, and import the enriched data back into your ATS. For teams needing real-time enrichment, our API can connect to custom workflows and automation tools like Zapier or Make.
