How to generate staffing leads at scale with Clay

01

Describe Your Target Hiring Market

Type or paste your Sculptor prompt specifying the companies actively hiring, target industry and location, and the return fields: company name, hiring manager contact, and verified email.

02

Sculptor Builds Your Hiring Company List

Sculptor queries Companies, People, and Jobs to surface active job openings by industry and location, then runs waterfall enrichment across providers like People Data Labs and Hunter to verify hiring manager emails.

03

Receive Verified Contacts Ready to Work

Your Clay table returns company name, hiring manager contact, and verified email, ready to push into your CRM or drop into a CSV for immediate outreach sequencing.

Why Clay for generating staffing leads

Job-posting signals surface hiring companies fast

Job-posting signals surface hiring companies fast

Clay's Find Jobs feature queries PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and its native jobs database simultaneously, pulling up to 1,000 active postings per search. Companies hiring for multiple roles score higher automatically, so your BD team works the warmest accounts first.

Waterfall enrichment lifts email coverage to 80%

Instead of relying on one provider, Clay runs a sequential waterfall across tools like People Data Labs, Hunter, and Findymail, you only pay when a match is found. That sequence pushes verified work-email coverage from roughly 30% with a single provider to 80% or higher.

Lead scoring filters by hiring depth and role count

Lead scoring filters by hiring depth and role count

Clay's formula columns let you score companies by the number of open roles, e.g., hiring 5 or more engineers, combined with headcount or funding stage. Only accounts that clear every threshold reach your outreach list, cutting time spent on poor-fit targets.

Push verified lists directly to your CRM

Clay pushes enriched company and contact records to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive in one step, or export a clean CSV in seconds. Every row already contains company name, hiring manager contact, and a verified email, so no manual cleanup is needed before outreach.

Our most successful campaigns are built on data that doesn’t exist in off-the-shelf tools. Clay helps us find those signals — and transform ambitious ideas into executable, high-performing campaigns.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor generate staffing leads from hiring companies?

Sculptor queries PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and Clay's native jobs database to surface companies actively hiring in your target industry and location. It then runs waterfall enrichment across providers like People Data Labs, Hunter, and Findymail to attach a hiring manager contact and verified work email to each company record.

How accurate are the hiring company leads and verified emails?

Clay's waterfall enrichment pushes verified work-email coverage from roughly 30% with a single provider to 80% or higher by querying multiple providers in sequence. Job-posting data comes from PredictLeads, Google Jobs, and Clay's own jobs database, so listings reflect real-time hiring activity rather than stale postings.

Can I generate staffing leads for a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste a list of target companies, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table, and Sculptor enriches every row in parallel. Once your table fills with company names, hiring manager contacts, and verified emails, push the full list to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive in one step, or export a clean CSV for outreach sequencing.

Is it legal to use B2B company data for staffing outreach?

In the US, CAN-SPAM permits B2B cold email as long as messages include a valid physical address, accurate headers, and a working unsubscribe link. In the EU, GDPR allows outreach under a documented legitimate-interest basis, but you must honor opt-out requests promptly. CCPA/CPRA in California extends personal-information protections to employment-related data.

Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach, and keep records of your legal basis for each contact.
