Finding People

The People search in Prospector helps you discover contacts who match your ideal customer profile. You can search using manual filters or let AI Search find prospects by describing your requirements in natural language.

Whether you're targeting decision-makers in a specific industry or building a list of contacts for a campaign, Prospector makes it easy to narrow your search and identify qualified leads.

Search using filters

Manual filters give you complete control over your search criteria. Apply one or more filters to narrow your results and build a targeted list of prospects.

Search by role

Start by identifying the type of contact you want to reach.

Available filters include:

• Job Titles

• Seniority Level

• Department

• People Manager

These filters help you focus on the decision-makers or teams most relevant to your outreach.

Filter by experience

You can also search based on a contact's professional experience.

Available filters include:

• Years in Current Role

• Total Experience

These filters help you identify prospects based on their tenure and overall professional background.

Refine by company

Further narrow your search using company-related attributes.

Available filters include:

• Company Name

• Employee Count

• Industry

• Revenue

• Company Type

• Founded Year

• Technologies Used

• Funding Stage

These filters are useful when targeting organizations of a specific size, industry, or stage of growth.

Narrow your search by location

Use the Location filter to focus your search on specific geographic regions.

You can search by:

• Country

• State or Region

• City

Location filters are especially useful for territory-based prospecting or regional campaigns.

Find contacts with work email addresses

Enable the Has Work Email option to return only contacts with available work email addresses.

This helps reduce the number of contacts that require email unlocking before they can be used in your outreach.

Search using AI

Instead of manually selecting filters, you can describe your ideal prospect using natural language.

Enter a prompt in the AI search box and click Find Leads.

For example:

Find CTOs at SaaS companies with 50–200 employees in the United States.

Prospector analyzes your request and returns contacts that best match the description.
