💡 The Domain Search allows you to find emails from a domain, company name, or website.
👉 To start your research, type the domain name into the input box located in the dashboard. You can also enter the company name, and Hunter will provide a few possible domains from which you can select.
Professional emails
Hunter will automatically find all the available email addresses associated with the domain and the following information when available:
Full name
Professional email address
Job title
Phone number (for personal emails)
Twitter profile
LinkedIn profile
Sources where this email address was found on the web
Company details
In addition to these contact details linked to a specific email at the company, Hunter will also return company-wide information, such as:
Company description, including various social media links, the industry, the headcount, address, type of company and more.
Technologies the website uses.
Similar companies: available on a paid plan, find similar companies to the one you're researching.
Follow the company; you can receive updates about new emails, funding and more.
How does Hunter show sources for the emails found?
All the emails found in the Domain Search are publicly sourced from the web. Click the arrow next to the number of available sources to expand them.
All links are active, and they will lead you to the specific page where Hunter found the email, along with the date the email was found.
How to apply filters to the emails found?
To apply some filters to the results of a domain, start by clicking on the Filters option to open the filter options bar:
Type of filters available:
Email Type filter
You can filter the emails by their type (generic or personal) before or after processing a Domain Search.
Generic email addresses are role-based email addresses, like contact@ or support@.
Personal email addresses are professional email addresses of people inside an organization, like personal.name@hunter.com
Department filter
With the Department filter, you can find the emails associated with one or more departments in the organization. You may choose from the following list of departments: Executive, IT / Engineering, Finance, Management, Sales, Legal, Support, Human Resources, Marketing, Writing & Communication, Education, Arts & Design, Medical & Health, Operations & Logistics.
Required fields filter
You can also filter the emails that come with a specific piece of information only. To narrow down your results, filters are available for the following fields: Full name, Position, and Phone number.
💡We only return phone numbers linked to personal email addresses and not to generic emails such as info or support emails.
How to find a specific person's email?
The Domain Search also returns the most likely email pattern to identify a person. For example: {first}.{last}@domain.com. This pattern can help you guess the email address of someone you know who works for this company.
After performing a Domain Search, it is possible to find the email of a specific person working at that company.
👉 Click on Find by name and enter the First and Last Name of the person you are looking for. The email will appear along with a confidence score and a possible list of sources if it was found publicly on the web.
What is the Confidence Score?
Every email address in the Domain Search is provided with a Confidence Score. Each email address can show a coloured dot or shield icon.
The confidence score is calculated from various public data points we have available for the email, such as the number and quality of the public sources, and any previous verification status, among other factors.
Emails with a confidence score of 90% or higher have a high chance of being fully deliverable, although a high score does not guarantee a 100% fully deliverable email.
Providing an accurate and updated confidence score is our first priority, although we suggest running the emails gathered through the Email Verifier. This will give you a full deliverability report on the emails.
Some emails have already been verified with our Email Verifier, and you will see a shield icon next to them. If the shield is green, this means the email was verified as valid; otherwise, you will have the option to run a verification on the lead.
How to export the email addresses found in CSV?
You can export the emails found for a domain by clicking on the Export button at the top right of your results list.
💡You can export a maximum of 5000 results per domain on any of our paid plans. Users on a Free plan can only export the first 10 results.
A new window will appear with the CSV Export preview and allow you a few choices:
Choose the number of emails you wish to return (max 5000 emails per domain)
Include the sources in the CSV file
Verify the emails at the same time (this will use verification credits.
It will also indicate the exact number of Search credits required to download the results.
Save single emails to Hunter
You can also save single email addresses and their associated contact information to a Leads list by simply clicking on the Save as lead button next to each contact.
If you want to add the new lead to a specific Leads list, click the arrow next to the Save as lead button to open a drop-down menu. From there, you can choose an existing Leads list to save the lead or create a new one.
The Add to a campaign option provides you with the choice to add this lead to an existing campaign or to directly create a new campaign to add this lead to.

How to follow a company for updates?
