Copying from directory pages when you sell to recruitment agencies
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one? Here is how people who sell to recruitment agencies fix it.
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one?
A directory or member list shows exactly the companies you want, but there is no export button. Copying every name, website and phone number by hand takes forever.
It hits harder when you sell to recruitment agencies. Recruitment agencies are sales driven businesses, from solo recruiters to firms with many desks per sector. Directors buy tools that help consultants fill roles faster, and they understand outbound selling better than most.
Useful lists stay on the page because turning them into rows is too much work. Manual copying also introduces errors.
Paste a page, get rows.
With paste and collect you paste the HTML of a page you opened yourself into Riftjaw. You pick the repeating blocks, turn them into rows and send them to import. Riftjaw does not crawl the web; you supply the page.
- Fields that fit recruitment agencies, such as sectors
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, jobs@, hello@ and careers@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
The fix, step by step
- Paste the HTML. Copy the source of the page you opened and paste it in.
- Pick the blocks. Select the repeating block that holds one company.
- Send to import. Turn the blocks into rows and map them like any other file.
Other walls when prospecting recruitment agencies
Jobs@ addresses fill up with candidate applications.
Tick info@ and hello@ as well and record which address brought a reply.
Agencies post many jobs, so the same agency appears again and again in scraped lists.
Duplicates are flagged on import against your key field, before anything is saved.
Sector recruiters need separate messages.
Tags per sector and one saved filter per tag keep every campaign relevant.
Fields worth recording for recruitment agencies
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Sectors | Tech, healthcare or industrial recruiters need different tools. |
| Consultants | The number of desks shows how many seats a tool could fill. |
| Permanent or temporary | Temp agencies need payroll and compliance support. |
| Recruitment software | Their current system matters for any switch. |
| Director | The person who signs off on tools and suppliers. |
Questions people ask
Choose the website or company name as the key field. Riftjaw flags duplicates in the file and against the database before you push the import.
Yes. Riftjaw is a general lead database. You can create separate lead files, or use the Agency plan with a workspace per client.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, jobs@, hello@ and careers@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
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.
