Domain Search - Find emails from companies

Find email addresses associated with a domain or a company

Use Domain Search to find professional email addresses associated with a company, from its domain, name or website.


How to use the Domain Search

  1. Go to the Domain Search page.

  2. Enter the company's domain in the search bar.

  3. Review the contacts Hunter found for that domain, including names, job titles, and other details.

  4. Select the contacts whose emails you want.

  5. Click "Reveal Email Address".

👉 If you don't know the domain, type the company name and pick a match from the suggestions.

💡 Email addresses aren't revealed by default. Each revealed email uses 1 credit.

Hunter provides two types of data when available.

Contact details

For each contact, along with the professional email, you can see:

  • Full name

  • Job title

  • Department

  • Location

  • LinkedIn profile

  • Twitter profile

  • Sources (where the data was found online)

Company details

Hunter also retrieves information about the company, including:

  • Company description

  • Social media links

  • Industry

  • Headcount

  • Location

  • Company type

  • Technologies used on the website

  • Similar companies (paid plans only)

  • A "Follow company" option for updates on new emails, funding rounds and more


Sources for emails found in Domain Search

Domain Search always shows the sources for each email address.

  1. Reveal an email address.

  2. Click the arrow next to the source count to expand the sources.

Each source links to where and when the information was found. If Hunter inferred the email address from public mentions, you'll see an "Inferred" tag:


How to apply filters in the Domain Search

You can filter results by job title, department, location, verification status, email type, email source and required fields, and hide leads you've already saved.

Available filters

  • Job title: show emails for one or more job titles.

  • Verification status: filter by Valid, Accept-all or Unknown.

  • Email type:

    • Generic: role-based addresses like contact@ or support@.

    • Personal: professional addresses of people inside an organization, like personal.name@hunter.com.

  • Department: Executive, IT, Finance, Management, Sales, Legal, Support, HR, Marketing, Communication, Education, Design, Health or Operations.

  • Email source: public or inferred.

  • Location: city, state, country, region, continent or economic area.

  • Show only results with: full name, job title or phone number. Phone numbers are only available for personal email addresses, and results may be limited.

  • Saved leads: hide leads you've already saved to your Leads list.


Finding decision makers in the Domain Search

  1. Click the "Decision Makers" tab to view senior contacts such as CEOs, VPs and Directors.

  2. Add filters to narrow the results.

  3. Reveal only the emails you need, so your credits go to the most relevant contacts.

Find a specific person's email

  1. Start a Domain Search.

  2. Enter the person's full name in the search box.

Hunter shows the contact and their email address, if available, with its verification status.

If the person doesn't appear, use the Email Finder to look up their email from their name and company.


Verification status and confidence score

When you reveal an email in Hunter, you'll see one of two indicators.

Verification status

Most emails show a status: Valid, Accept-all or Unknown.

  • Valid means the address passed our checks. You don't need the confidence score here.

  • Accept-all or Unknown means the domain or mailbox can't be fully confirmed.

Confidence score

The score estimates how likely an email is to be deliverable. It's most useful for Accept-all and Unknown emails. It's based on:

  • The number and quality of public sources

  • Historical verification results and technical checks

Higher is better. A score of 90% or more indicates a strong likelihood of delivery, but it isn't a guarantee.

👉 For a real-time check, click "Verify email address" or use the Email Verifier. Each check uses 0.5 credit.

Saving emails to Leads and adding emails to Sequences

When you reveal emails in Domain Search, they're saved automatically to your Leads. A notification at the bottom confirms how many were saved.

Save to Leads

  • To save one or more emails, with their contact details, to a specific list, click "Add to a list".

  • To bulk-save emails (by selection, department or all results), use the blue actions menu next to "Reveal", then choose a lead list from the dropdown.

Add to a sequence

  • Click "Add to a sequence" to add revealed leads to an existing email sequence or create a new one.

  • You can also manage revealed leads later, use them in Sequences or export them as CSV.

Follow a company for updates

Follow the companies you want to find emails for. This creates a new Company Signal, which notifies you when:

  • The company receives a new round of funding.

  • The company posts new job opportunities.

  • New email addresses become available for that company.

This way, you can track key updates without running repeated searches.


How Hunter credits work in the Domain Search

  • All generic emails for a domain (like info@ or contact@) can be revealed together for 1 credit total.

  • Revealed emails are saved to your Leads at no extra cost.

  • No credits are used if no emails are found.
