THE PROBLEM
You know who you want to work with — but finding them, reaching them, and keeping your data clean enough to act on? That’s where most recruitment firms fall flat. Here’s what gets in the way:
You don’t know exactly which companies fit your sweet spot — so you pitch too broadly and win too narrowly
Your lead lists are built on gut feel, LinkedIn searches, or bought data that’s already out of date
Your CRM is a graveyard — contacts go stale, duplicates pile up, and no one trusts what’s in there
BD time is wasted on admin and research instead of actual conversations
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You’re not short on ambition. You’re short on the right data — and the infrastructure to act on it quickly.
OUR TARGETING SERVICES
Powered by Clay. Built for recruitment firms that want to grow with intent.
We use Clay — one of the most powerful data and automation tools on the market — to give you sharper targeting, cleaner data, and a BD engine that actually runs itself. Three ways to work with us.
RESEARCH SCOPING:
Who should you actually be talking to?
Before you can win better clients, you need to know exactly who they are. We use Clay to map your ideal client profile — digging into company size, sector, hiring patterns, tech stack, funding signals, and growth triggers — so you stop guessing and start knowing.
What you get:
A clearly defined ICP based on real data, not assumptions
A full market map showing the size and shape of your opportunity
Insight into which segments are most likely to convert — and why
A clear brief your BD team can actually use
The commercial upside: you stop wasting time on the wrong targets and start having conversations that are worth having.
LEAD LIST GENERATION
The right contacts. Verified. Ready to go.
No more buying generic lists or spending hours on LinkedIn. We build you bespoke, high-quality lead lists using Clay — pulling in live data from multiple sources, verifying contact details, and enriching each record with the context your team needs to reach out with confidence.
What you get:
A targeted list of decision-makers matched to your ICP
Verified emails and LinkedIn profiles — ready to use
Enriched records with context: recent hires, job postings, funding rounds
Formatted and delivered clean into your CRM or outreach tool
The commercial upside: your BD team spends time on outreach, not research. More conversations. More pipeline.
ALWAYS-ON CRM:
Your CRM kept clean.
Most CRMs are only as good as the last person who remembered to update them. Always-On CRM changes that. We integrate Clay directly with your existing CRM and set up automated workflows that continuously enrich, refresh, and update your contact and company data — without anyone having to lift a finger.
What you get:
Clay integrated with your CRM — we support most major platforms
Automated enrichment: job changes, new contact details, company updates
Duplicate detection and data hygiene running in the background
Ongoing monitoring so your data never goes stale again
The commercial upside: your best contacts don’t slip through the cracks. You reach people at the right moment, with the right message — every time.
