A demo of Cleanlist AI People Search. Four plain-language searches run one after another, each setting nine filters, one per phrase: heads of revenue operations who started as Salesforce admins, two to five years in role, formerly at Clari or Salesloft, at Series B and C SaaS companies with 201 to 500 people in the US or Canada, skipping HubSpot customers; heads of security or CISOs who joined in the last six months at 501 to 5,000 person software companies in the US, VP or C-level, CISSP certified, formerly at Okta or Cloudflare, skipping open Salesforce opportunities; engineering managers formerly at Stripe or Shopify, now at Series A to C developer tools companies with 51 to 500 people, one to two years in role, in Seattle, Toronto or Vancouver, with Python or Go skills, not already in a Cleanlist AI list; and CMOs or VPs of Marketing in London, Berlin or Amsterdam with 10+ years of experience and an MBA, at 51 to 200 person software companies that raised a Series A or B in the last 12 months, skipping HubSpot customers. As each phrase is typed its filter lands in the sidebar and the preview count narrows, then the matching people appear.

Keep your customers off the cold list.
Connect Salesforce or HubSpot and People Search drops customers, open deals and the accounts your reps own before a single row shows. One more switch skips anyone already on your lists, so the same buyer never gets added twice.

Search 41,300. Pay for the 66 you keep.
Add them to a list and pick email, phone or both. The waterfall asks 25+ providers for each person: 1 credit per verified work email, 10 per phone number, 0 when nothing comes back.
Cleanlist AI People Search finds B2B people by title, seniority, function, past employers, school, skills, company, industry, headcount, funding and location, and suppresses what your CRM already holds. You pay only for what you keep: 1 credit for a verified work email, 10 for a phone number, 11 for both, and 0 when nothing comes back.

Questions about People Search
Search by company insteadHow does Cleanlist's People Search work?
You describe the people you want in plain English, or set the filters yourself, and Cleanlist turns it into one search across seventeen keys: title, seniority, management level, department, job function, skills, languages, school, company, industry, headcount and location. Enrich the people you keep and you get 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers, on Cleanlist's 500-lead benchmark.
Does Cleanlist own a contact database?
No. Cleanlist doesn't own or sell a database. People Search queries a live index of 1B+ profiles from licensed providers, and you pay only when you enrich a contact. Every email is verified through the waterfall before export.
What filters are available for People Search?
Seventeen keys: titles, seniority, management_levels, departments, job_functions, skills, languages, school_names, company_names, company_domains, company_industries, company_headcount, company_locations, location_country, location_state, location_city and locations. Stack them and a search of six hundred thousand people becomes a list of sixty-six one rep can work. Company Search carries the firmographic side.
Can I export People Search results to my CRM?
Yes. Cleanlist syncs with HubSpot and Salesforce and pushes to Salesloft and Lemlist. You can also export to CSV or JSON, or add results to a Cleanlist list for more enrichment. Sequences, on every paid plan, sends email from your own Gmail or Outlook inbox.
What is B2B people search?
B2B people search finds business buyers by their work: job title, seniority, department, skills, school, company, industry, headcount and location. In Cleanlist you search that way, then get each prospect's verified work email and phone number. It's built for sales prospecting, TAM building and account-based outreach. Consumer people-lookup sites are a different tool, for finding private individuals.
How is B2B people search different from a static contact database?
A static database is a list bought once, and it decays as people change jobs. People Search runs live, so results reflect current roles, then verifies every work email and phone number through 25+ providers at export: 98% and 85% on Cleanlist's 500-lead benchmark. An AI column can research any extra field you need on each contact.
What is the best people search tool for B2B sales?
For B2B sales, the best people search tool finds decision makers by role and firmographic filters and returns contact data your reps can reach. Cleanlist does this with natural-language search, a 25+ provider waterfall that returned 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on Cleanlist's 500-lead benchmark, AI columns that research any field you name, and CRM export. Every new workspace starts with 14 days of Pro with 250 credits and 3 seats, and the Free plan is $0 for 50 credits a month after that.
Is there a people search API?
Yes. The same search runs over REST API v2 and the MCP server, with the same seventeen keys at the same cost. The API is on Pro and up, MCP is on Starter and up, and the 14-day trial is Pro, so it includes both.
Describe the buyer. Get the list.
Your 250 trial credits cover up to 250 verified work emails, and an agent can rerun the search every Monday at 8:00 AM.
14 days of Pro, free.
