USE CASE:
Recruitment companies and the contact details problem
This page is about contact details for recruitment companies: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Company Contact Details Extractor is the one that does this for recruitment companies.
The problem
Recruitment companies frustrate contact details, for a reason specific to them. Recruitment companies are the one industry whose activity is fully visible, because their product is a public advert, and contact details inherits that. One thing contact details on recruitment companies rarely accounts for: advert volume measures effort rather than success, and an agency posting more may be doing worse. There is 1 runnable example of contact details for recruitment companies below.
Doing it end to end
- Start with one of recruitment companies you already know, so a wrong contact details answer is obvious rather than plausible.
- Run Company Contact Details Extractor across your list of recruitment companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for contact details.
- Read ten rows of contact details on recruitment companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- The job boards themselves, for recruitment companies. Free, and posting volume is visible without any tooling.
- Google Business Profiles. Free, verified by the company, and strongest for businesses with a physical location. Sparse for software companies.
- The statutory register. Companies House and its equivalents publish the registered office. Authoritative, and the registered office is often an accountant's address rather than anywhere anyone works.
- A local directory. Chambers of commerce and trade directories still carry details nothing else does, particularly outside the English speaking market.
- Read the contact page and the footer. Almost every company publishes this somewhere, and in most of Europe it is a legal requirement. Two minutes per company and you can see whether the address is real.
