Database in Riftjaw with active contacts, segment, lead file and source

Selling recruitment and staffing services to employers to web designers

Web designers are often freelancers or small studios who build and look after sites for local businesses. They buy hosting, tools and outsourced development, and they choose partners who make them look good in front of their clients.

Recruitment agencies win new employer clients by spotting companies that are hiring and reaching out to offer help. Keeping those employers in your own lead database lets you track conversations and return to them when new roles open.

The web designers that need recruitment and staffing services to employers are listed publicly. What most recruitment agencies lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What recruitment agencies run into with web designers

Employer prospects sit in personal inboxes and spreadsheets of each consultant.

Put every employer into one shared database with unlimited users on the account.

You forget which companies already said they had no need right now.

Tags and notes on each contact record exactly what was said and when.

Web designers find their own names in footers and get many partnership mails.

A short, specific message sent in small batches stands out more than a long pitch.

Freelancers rarely list an email address and use hello@ on their own domain.

Email from domain with hello@ ticked gives you a likely address to test.

Questions people ask

Can I collect web designers from footer credits?

You can gather the sites yourself and paste the page HTML into paste and collect, which turns repeating blocks into rows. Riftjaw does not crawl the web on its own.

Are hello@ addresses for web designers verified?

No. They are likely addresses built from common patterns. Test with a small batch and watch the send log.

How do I get email addresses for web designers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, studio@ and design@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
