You can find your prospects' email addresses on Linkedin or any company website with our Chrome Extension or directly from the app with the Email Finder.
We use a combination of these two techniques:
Collect publicly available emails online.
Guess email addresses using algorithms.
Collect publicly available emails online
We use web crawlers that collect publicly available emails online. This can be on blog posts, comments, forums, company websites, etc. We also extract email addresses from the source code of the page you are visiting when you use the extension.
This technique is used when you search on a certain website page (not LinkedIn).
Guess email addresses using algorithms
We collect company patterns (ex: firstname.lastname@company.com) and iterate until we find an email address.
If we don't manage to find an email address, it usually means that:
We generated the email address using the company pattern but after testing it, it wasn't valid.
We couldn't identify the company pattern.
Finding valid emails can be arduous as people frequently switch jobs and companies but we're doing everything we can to continuously improve and update our system and our databases!
