Our Research Process

We are the list owner. That means that we research, maintain and verify the data ourselves so you can be absolutely sure of what you are buying. Our data is researched from a variety of public and private sources including directly from the firms themselves and also from a large number of channels both online and in print. In addition to this, all Company Director and HR contacts are verified twice a year by phone by our dedicated team of researchers with either the individual or their representative. Real people make real telephone calls to ensure that your data is as accurate as we claim.

Firms included in our EGOLD directory of Recruitment Consultants update details on their firm via our online portal. We supplement this on an ongoing basis with research from press releases, news articles, our own in-house journalists, telephone and direct approaches to the firms.

We do not ‘phish’ for contacts, nor do we use web crawling technology to harvest email addresses. Where we are informed of any errors or inaccuracies or an individual has deceased, these are corrected within three days of the date of receipt of this information. Alternatively if an individual no longer wishes to be included on our lists they are removed from any future sales of the business list.

For those clients buying multiple usage or an annual license via our online product, data is continually being updated and fresh data can be downloaded at any time throughout the period of their contract.

Finally, we use these lists to market our own products, and if they work for us, then they can work for you too !
