Find companies using Hunter Discover

Hunter Discover helps you find and connect with companies more efficiently, whether you’re prospecting for clients, partners, or researching new markets. Using powerful filters and an AI Assistant, you can discover companies that match your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and find verified professional emails—even if you’re starting from scratch.

Hunter Discover allows you to search for companies using multiple filters that can be combined to match your ICP.

💡 Searching for companies is completely free—credits are only used when you reveal email addresses. This means you can explore, test, and refine your searches without any cost.

Discover is available directly from your Hunter dashboard, accessible via the main menu or by clicking here.

You can use one filter or combine several to narrow your results precisely. Available filters include:

💡 Each filter includes Include and Exclude options.

Discover includes an AI Assistant that lets you find companies by simply describing them in a sentence, such as “Accounting companies in Germany”.

To access it:

Click the magnifying glass or Apply, and Discover will automatically configure the filters for you. You can then manually adjust or add more filters if needed.

You can also build searches manually by entering filters for company name, location, industry, size, keywords, technologies, and more.

You can use one or a combination of filters to refine your search results to match your specific needs.

Each filter offers Include and Exclude options, allowing you to apply a filter to include a certain industry, location, or keyword or to exclude them from your search specifically.

For the Keywords and Industry filters, you can select whether the filter should match All of the keywords or technologies you've added or Any of them. This gives you more flexibility in refining your search.

If you already know a company that fits your ICP, you can use the Companies similar to filter to find lookalike businesses. Simply enter the companies you want to find lookalikes for, and Hunter will return a list of similar companies.

💡 The Companies similar to and Technologies filters are available on all paid plans.

Once you’ve configured your filters, you can save them as a search.

Saved searches are always visible when you open Discover, allowing you to relaunch them with a single click, by clicking on them or selecting Load, at the top of the filters menu.
