ScraperCity for recruiters

Recruiting comes down to two jobs: build a shortlist of the right people, then reach them directly. The second job is the hard one, because a personal email or a mobile for a candidate who is not actively looking is exactly what a job board will never hand you. ScraperCity is built for that mechanic. You source a targeted list by title, seniority, and location from an Apollo search or a name-based people search, then pull verified email and mobile details so your first message lands in the right inbox and the follow-up reaches a real phone.

The role and seniority filters that drive sourcing here are the same ones recruiters live in. Director, VP, and Manager are the three most-requested seniority levels across the searches customers run, and the direct-contact tools that turn a name into a reachable person are the most-used lookups on the platform.

A worked example: from open req to reachable shortlist

Say you are filling a VP of Engineering role in the United States. Here is the path from a job title to a list of candidates you can actually call and email.

1. Source the shortlist. Build an Apollo.io search with title set to VP of Engineering, seniority set to VP, and country set to United States, then run the Apollo Scraper across the full result set at $0.0039 per lead. You get every matching profile in one export, not a page at a time.
2. Find the business email. Feed each name and company domain to the Email Finder at $0.05 per email found (FREE if not found). You are only charged on a verified hit, so the profiles with no discoverable email cost you nothing.
3. Find the direct mobile. Pass the LinkedIn URL or the email to the Mobile Finder at $0.25 per number found (FREE if not found). A found number is a verified mobile, and again you only pay on a hit, so passive candidates you cannot reach are free to attempt.
4. Clean the list. Run the collected emails through the Email Validator at $0.0072 per email before they touch your sequencer, so a bounce-heavy list never damages your sender reputation.

Every step is pay-per-use and metered on results, so a req that turns up twenty strong profiles costs a fraction of one seat on a subscription sourcing tool.

What we see role-based sourcing do that works

Every candidate search and outreach lookup here runs on our platform, so we see how teams that source by role actually work, whether they are hiring or running outbound. A few patterns hold, and they are the reason the tools above are ordered the way they are.

• Sourcing starts from the role, not the company. A job title is the single most common filter by a wide margin.
• Director, VP, and Manager are the three seniority bands teams build shortlists around, far ahead of every other level. These are the exact bands recruiters and outbound teams live in.
• Teams commonly require a verified email before the list exports, so the shortlist is reachable the moment it leaves the platform, not a pile of names to chase later.
• Once the shortlist is set, teams reach people directly through pay-on-hit finders: the mobile finder and the email finder, both billed only when a number or address is found, alongside the contacts pulled through the Apollo scraper.

These patterns come from the searches and runs our customers make on the platform. The demand reflects how teams source people by role and reach them directly, whether for hiring or outbound.
