How We Verify Contact Data

Find a likely manager or bring a name. A title is a guesstimate. When an email or mobile is found, it is triple-verified before it reaches you. Here is what happens to every address and every phone number, and what gets thrown away.

The short version: find a likely manager or bring a name. A title is a guesstimate. Every email that reaches you is triple-verified: three independent engines must agree, and one disagreement removes it. Every phone number is screened for landlines and dead lines, and in the US and Canada the line owner's name is cross-checked against your contact's name. You are never charged for a reveal that fails to verify.

Why Accuracy Beats Volume

Most contact tools compete on quantity: more credits, bigger databases, unlimited lookups. A job search is a handful of conversations with the people who own the roles you want. Send a hiring manager an email that bounces and the chance is gone; call a number that belongs to someone else and the introduction is over before it starts. That is why the pipeline is built to throw data away. Accuracy is the feature.

How Emails Are Verified

Every address that reaches a member has survived checks across multiple independent data providers:

Roughly a third of the raw addresses collected upstream are rejected before anyone ever sees them. About 31.53% of purchased raw records fail verification and never reach you, or your invoice.

If you would rather check a single address yourself first, HiringReach lists the free email lookup search methods that cost nothing, including a free verifier, and says where each one stops working.

How Phone Numbers Are Verified

Phone data fails differently: numbers go dead, landlines masquerade as mobiles, and directories drift out of date. The pipeline screens for each failure separately:

What This Means When You Use HiringReach

Frequently Asked Questions

What does triple-verified mean?
Every email address goes through three independent verification engines with complementary technologies. If one of the three disagrees, the address is removed rather than delivered. Roughly a third of the raw addresses our data partners collect never reach a member at all.
Are the phone numbers verified too?
Yes, in layers. Landlines are filtered out rather than passed off as mobiles. Numbers that are out of service are removed when detectable. In the US and Canada the name on the phone line is cross-checked against the contact's name, and only a name-matched number is flagged as verified.
Does HiringReach guarantee the person is the hiring manager?
No. We look for the person most likely to own the role. A title is a guesstimate. Confirm the match before you write. The email and mobile, once found, are what get triple-verified.
What happens when a lookup finds nothing?
Nothing is charged. A reveal that fails to verify does not count against your allowance. You pay for contacts you can actually use, not for attempts.
