In our portal, you can combine SIC 7361 with employee count, annual revenue, state, city, county, zip, area code, and contact name where available. The output is a CSV with the business name, phone number, address, SIC code, and the demographic fields you selected, ready for a dialer or CRM.
Common buyer combinations include recruiting-software vendors targeting agencies by employee band and metro, background-screening or payroll providers targeting agencies by state and revenue band, and telecom or office-service vendors targeting agency locations by city, zip, and contact availability.
Recruiting and placement firms can rebrand, merge, relocate, open new offices, or close, so contact data still ages even when the underlying business remains active. Our US business data is refreshed quarterly, Canada is refreshed annually, and we estimate roughly 90% accuracy on business records.
