Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the candidate data from Lead Finder?
Lead Finder aggregates data from multiple professional databases and enrichment sources. Name, title, company, and LinkedIn profiles are generally reliable. Direct contact information accuracy varies by source, with business email addresses more reliable than personal contacts. Always verify before outreach.
Can People Search find information beyond LinkedIn?
People Search looks across multiple platforms and public sources — social profiles, articles, conference talks, podcast appearances, and public records. It is particularly useful for building a comprehensive picture of a senior executive before a call, not just their LinkedIn career history.
How current is the executive news monitoring?
The News tool accesses live and recent news sources and can search the past 30, 60, or 90 days. It covers major business publications, company press releases, and financial news sources that report executive changes. Speed depends on whether the change was covered in indexed news sources.
Can I use these tools to research companies in regulated industries like finance or healthcare?
Yes. Competitor Research and Company Lookup work across all industries. For regulated industries, regulatory filings data (SEC, Companies House, EU registries) is available through Company Lookup, which can surface director information and corporate structure.
Can Deep Research benchmark compensation for non-US markets?
Deep Research pulls from publicly available compensation surveys, glassdoor data, and market reports. Coverage is strongest for US markets. UK, Germany, and other major European markets have reasonable coverage for senior roles. Emerging market data is thinner and should be supplemented with local market intelligence.
