The Domain Search helps you find professional email addresses associated with a domain, company name, or website.
Getting started with Domain Search
To start go to the Domain Search page and enter the domain name into the search bar on your dashboard.
If you don’t know the exact domain, you can also type the company name — Hunter will suggest possible matching domains for you to choose from.
Once selected, Hunter will return a list of available contacts associated with that domain, showing names, job titles, and other available details.
Email addresses are not revealed by default: you have full control over which emails you choose to reveal.
No Search credits are used until you decide to reveal an email.
What information can you find in the Domain Search?
Hunter will display the following data points if available.
Lead details:
Full name
Job title
Department
LinkedIn profile
Twitter profile
Sources (where the contact’s information was found publicly online)
ℹ️ Email addresses are only revealed when you actively choose to reveal them.
Each email reveal will use 1 Search credit.
Company details
Hunter also retrieves company-wide information, such as:

How Hunter shows sources for contacts
All contact details are collected from publicly available sources on the web.
After revealing an email address, click the arrow next to the number of sources to expand and view them.
Each source is an active link showing where and when the information was found.
This ensures transparency and traceability for each contact.

How to find a specific person's email?
If you know the name of the person you’re looking for:
Enter the full name in the search box after starting a Domain Search.
Hunter will show the contact and the corresponding email address if available, along with the verification status.
What is the Confidence Score?
Most of the revealed email addresses in Hunter are already verified and include a verification status, like this one:
ℹ️ You can find all the possible verification statuses here.
Emails that aren't verified include a Confidence Score:
Based on the number and quality of public sources and previous verification status.
A score of 90% or higher means a high likelihood of successful delivery, although it’s not a 100% guarantee.
Tip: For a real-time verification check, use the "Verify email address" button or use Hunter's Email Verifier. Both actions will use 1 Verification credit for each email.

You can select individual contacts or bulk select multiple contacts.
Click Reveal Email Address to reveal emails - 1 Search credit per email revealed.
