Contact enrichment that turns a profile into a verified way to reach them.
Turn a name and a profile into a verified email and phone number. Instalent runs a multi-source enrichment so you spend time reaching people, not hunting for their details.
Candidate contact enrichment is the process of finding and verifying a person's professional email, phone number and social profiles from partial information - a name, a company, or a profile URL.
Instalent enriches both candidates and the decision-makers at your client companies. It queries multiple independent data sources in a waterfall, keeps the first verified result, and returns email, phone and social details with a confidence signal - so your outreach lands with the real person instead of bouncing.
What you get
What contact enrichment tools should actually return.
Multi-source enrichment
Instalent doesn't rely on a single provider. It tries several verified data sources in order and stops at the first confident match, so coverage stays high and stale data stays out.
Email, phone and social
Get a work email, a personal email where available, a direct phone number and linked social profiles - everything you need to reach someone on the channel they actually answer.
Verified, not guessed
Results carry a verification signal so you know a detail is checked rather than pattern-guessed. Reaching the wrong inbox costs you a reply and your sender reputation.
Candidates and clients
Enrich a shortlist of candidates or the hiring managers and founders at companies you want to win as clients - the same verified contact layer for both sides of the desk.
Enrich in the flow
Enrichment happens right inside search and shortlisting - no export to a separate tool, no CSV round-trip. Find someone, reveal their details, reach out.
Shared across your workspace
Once a profile is enriched it's available to your whole team, so two recruiters never pay to reveal the same person twice.
How it works
From profile to verified contact in one step.
- 01
Start from a profile
Point Instalent at a candidate or a client contact - from a search result, a shortlist, or an imported list.
- 02
Run the enrichment
Instalent queries multiple data sources in sequence, verifies each result, and keeps the first confident match for email, phone and social profiles.
- 03
Reach out in the same flow
Move straight into scored shortlisting and multichannel outreach - the verified details flow into your sequences automatically.
Why it matters
Fewer bounces, more replies.
- Reach the real person on the first attempt instead of burning sends on dead addresses.
- Protect sender reputation by keeping invalid emails out of your sequences.
- Stop paying for and stitching together a separate contact-data tool.
- Enrich the hiring side too - get to the decision-maker, not the info@ inbox.
- Keep verified data shared across your team so you never reveal the same contact twice.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Instalent a recruitment database?
No, and the distinction matters. A recruitment database is a fixed set of records collected at some earlier point, which is why the details inside one decay quietly and nothing tells you when they stopped working. Instalent verifies contact details from several sources at the moment you need them, so what you get reflects now rather than whenever a record was last refreshed. It runs alongside whatever database or ATS you already keep.
What contact details does Instalent find?
Work email, personal email where available, direct phone number, and linked social profiles - for candidates and for the decision-makers at companies you want as clients.
How do I get verified contact details from professional networks?
You start from what you already have - a name, a company, or a profile URL - and resolve it rather than scrape it. Instalent takes those identifiers and queries multiple independent data sources in a waterfall, keeps the first verified result, and returns the email, phone and social details with a confidence signal so you can see how strongly each one is supported. The important part is that verification comes from agreement across independent sources, not from one database asserting it. Instalent searches information that is already publicly available and verifies against several sources rather than reselling a single private list, and sourced professional data is revalidated or deleted on a rolling basis - typically within three months - so what you send to has not quietly gone stale.
How accurate is the data?
Instalent runs multi-source enrichment and keeps the first verified result, returning a confidence signal so you can see when a detail is checked rather than guessed. Verified-first coverage keeps invalid contacts out of your outreach.
Do I need a separate email-finder tool?
No. Enrichment is built into the same flow as sourcing, scoring and outreach, so you reveal verified details and reach out without exporting to another tool.
How does this compare to standalone contact enrichment tools, and is there a contact enrichment API?
Standalone contact enrichment tools hand you a verified detail and stop there, so the sourcing, the scoring and the sending still live somewhere else. In Instalent enrichment is a step inside the flow: you find the person, verify the contact, score the fit and send, without an export between each. There is an outbound webhook API if you need enriched records to land in your own systems, and two-way ATS sync with RecruiterFlow, Greenhouse, Lever and TeamTailor for the common case.
Can I enrich client contacts, not just candidates?
Yes. The same verified contact layer works for the hiring managers, founders and decision-makers you prospect as clients - useful for recruitment business development.
Can I try it for free?
Yes - start with a 7-day free trial and run sourcing, enrichment and outreach end to end.
