Having difficulty finding Contacts at prospective employers?

If you answer "YES" to that question, you're not alone. One of the most difficult parts of the job search is finding contacts inside prospective employers.

If you're like most job seekers, you know that simply applying online to an advertised job opening doesn't necessarily produce the result everyone wants - an INTERVIEW or at least a PHONE SCREEN!  So, if you are not getting those phone screens or interviews, are you contacting hiring managers in your target companies?

If your response to that question is that you can't find contacts, you need to try Jigsaw.com.

OK.  What is Jigsaw?

Jigsaw is a "community" based data warehouse with information on over 2 million companies and 20+ million contacts within those companies.

Members are part of the community and contribute contact information - which consists of:

• Name
• Title
• Direct Company Phone Number
• Company Email Address
• Company Name and (if available) Address

There is NO personal contact information included in the database - ONLY company contact information.

Unlike some of the other services like Hoovers and InfoUSA, the information in Jigsaw is much deeper into the companies in its database.  It contains information including hiring managers, HR managers, department directors, etc. as opposed to simply including the names of the company President, CEO, CFO and similar high ranking individuals.

How can Jigsaw help me?

One of the key uses of Jigsaw in the Job Search process is to find those individuals (and their contact information) within companies who are the hiring decision makers.

Jigsaw's search capabilities are extensive.  Once you've joined, simply click on the "CONTACTS" link in the Top Menu and then select "Find Contacts" from the drop-down menu.  That will take you to a Search engine.

What does it cost?

If you want to, you can certainly pay for Jigsaw's services.  However, the way to obtain information is to PROVIDE information. When you provide information to Jigsaw that is usable, you earn POINTS.  You then use those points to purchase the information you want.

Are there other ways to pay for the information I need?

Yes.  You can invite friends to join Jigsaw and you earn credits if they join.

How do I provide anything of value?

If you review your contacts from your previous employers, chances are you have a lot of information that would be helpful in building the Jigsaw database - and it is quite possibly the very information another job seeker needs.

Can someone see that I provided their contact information?

You will be asked to provide a SCREEN NAME when you register.  Make sure it is not something that directs people who know you back to you or your company.
