Duplicate contacts when you sell to recruitment agencies
How many companies appear in your list twice? Here is how people who sell to recruitment agencies fix it.
How many companies appear in your list twice?
When you combine lists from several sources, the same company shows up more than once with slightly different details. Cleaning that up by hand is slow.
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.
Duplicates mean double emails, confused statuses and a list that looks bigger than it is. They make your outreach look sloppy.
Duplicates flagged before they enter your database.
Every lead file has a key field that Riftjaw uses to spot duplicates. On import, duplicates inside the file and against your existing database are flagged before anything is pushed. You decide what goes in.
- 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
How to fix it in Riftjaw
- Pick a key field. Choose the field that identifies a company, such as website or email.
- Import the list. Riftjaw checks the file and your database for matches.
- Review the flags. Skip the duplicates and publish only new records.
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. |

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.
