Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find company growth rate data?
Sculptor uses Clay's Find Companies source filtered by your target industry or CRM segment, then layers on the Company Headcount Growth enrichment to score each account by growth rate. It also pulls Lusha's Find Company Jobs Growth signal, which returns department-level hiring surges, job change rate percentages, and new postings over time. Finally, it waterfalls across multiple contact-data providers to attach a verified VP of Sales email to every growing account.
How accurate are Clay's company growth rate results?
Clay compares current employee counts against historical headcount to calculate actual growth rates rather than relying on static snapshots. Lusha's jobs growth signal adds department-level granularity, returning metrics like job change rate percentage and new postings in the last four weeks. For VP of Sales emails, Clay's waterfall enrichment queries 150+ providers in sequence, lifting contact coverage from roughly 20% with a single source to around 80%.
Can I find company growth rates for a whole list at once?
Yes. Paste a list of companies, upload a CSV, or pipe accounts from an existing Clay table, and Sculptor enriches every row with headcount growth data and VP of Sales contacts in one run. Once results populate, push the growth-scored list directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or a sequencer like Outreach without any manual export step.
Is it legal to use headcount growth signals for B2B outreach?
Headcount growth data is aggregated company-level information and carries minimal privacy risk on its own. When you pair it with individual contact emails, CAN-SPAM requires accurate sender info, a physical address, and a working unsubscribe link in every message. Under GDPR, B2B outreach can rely on legitimate interest (Recital 47), but you must provide notice under Article 14 when using third-party data and honor opt-out requests immediately under Article 21.
State laws like CCPA/CPRA may also apply to contacts in California. Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching campaigns.
