Hunter Discover is designed to help you find and connect with companies more efficiently than ever. Whether you’re searching for potential clients, partners, or just need detailed company insights, this feature is your go-to resource.
Here’s how you can start leveraging it to its full potential.
Getting Started
Hunter Discovery lets you find company names based on different filters that can be combined to target your search to your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and find emails for them.
The filters include:
Company Name: to find a company starting from the name.
Headquarters location: where the company is located (city, country or continent).
Industry of the company.
Size: number of employees in the company.
Company type: Filters companies by ownership structure (educational institution, non-profits, public company, and more).
Keywords: use keywords to find companies related to certain products, services, or features.
Technologies: to filter companies using a specific technology (available only on a paid plan).
You can find the Hunter Discover on your dashboard. It's accessible from the main menu or by clicking here, ensuring you can start your search with just a click.
Using filters to find companies using Discover
Using the AI Assistant
Discover provides an AI Assistant that helps you easily locate companies by simply describing them in a sentence.
You can access this feature from the center of the Discover page or through the filter menu on the left, by clicking on the small, sparkling AI icon.
To find companies, simply enter a sentence that matches your ICP, such as "Accounting companies in Germany", click on the magnifying glass or on Apply in the filter menu to launch the search.
The AI Assistant will automatically apply filters to your research that match your request and find relevant companies for you. You can also manually edit these filters and add additional ones if needed.
Using Filters
You can begin your search by inputting the company name, location, keywords, size, industry, or technologies in the search fields of Hunter Discover. You can use one or a combination of filters to refine your search results to match your specific needs.
Each filter offers both "Include" and "Exclude" options, allowing you to either apply a filter to include a certain industry, location, or keyword, or to specifically exclude them from your search.
How to save a Search
After adding filters, you can save them in a dedicated search that you can quickly access.
Click 'Load' to see your saved searches.
You'll also find all saved searches when navigating to Hunter Discover, ready to be accessed with a single click.
Exploring Company Profiles
Viewing Company Details
To dive deeper into a company, simply click on the result you’re interested in. This will expand the company’s profile, providing comprehensive details, including a company description, size, industry, and technologies used.
Discovering Professional Emails
Within the expanded company profile, you’ll find a section dedicated to professional emails associated with the company. This is your key to connecting directly with decision-makers and key contacts. Click the "Find email addresses" button to find emails for the company.
💡We recommend saving the emails found as leads to ensure they will be stored in your Leads section.
Following Companies
In the expanded company profile section, you’ll find a tab dedicated to Signals. Here, you can view all the updates related to this company, such as new job openings, new email addresses, and more.
Click on Follow this company to create a new Company Signal, continue to get updates on the company via email and continue to monitor the company on the Signals page.
Bulk actions: export company names or find emails in bulk
Find emails from multiple companies
If you wish to find emails for all the companies or only for specific ones from your results (check the companies you want to include), you can directly start a Bulk Domain search from the Discover page.
Simply click on the orange button Find email addresses to search for email addresses for these companies.
ℹ️ You can manually select up to 100 companies or check the box next to the Company title to select 100 companies at a time.
👉 If you click on the button Find email addresses without selecting any companies, you will start a Bulk Domain Search for 25K on any of our paid plans and 100 companies for users on a free plan.
Once you've clicked on the Find Email addresses button, a new window pops up, asking you to select the following options:
The maximum number of email addresses you wish to receive for each company
The type of email address (all, generic or personal)
Department filters
By clicking on the Continue button, a new Bulk Domain Search for the companies included in your list will start. Once processed, you can find the results, in the Bulk Section of your account ready to be downloaded. You will also receive an email notification, letting you know that your results are ready.
Export company names in CSV
Instead, should you wish to export the companies from Discover, the Export as CSV button allows you to export the selected companies in a CSV file; this functionality is free.
ℹ️ Export Limits: The CSV export feature is limited to 100,000 companies for users on a paid plan and to 100 companies for those on a free plan.
Once you click on the Export as CSV button, an immediate export will start, and we'll notify you via email once the download is ready.
💡 Once the export is processed, the download will remain available for 24 hours
Below, you can find a sample of the resulting CSV file.
Best Practices
Refine your search: Use multiple filters to narrow down your search results. This can significantly increase the relevancy of the companies you find.
Explore broadly: Don’t hesitate to explore companies outside your immediate requirements. Diversifying your search can uncover unexpected opportunities.
Regular updates: Company information and associated emails are regularly updated. Make sure to check back often for the most current information.
