Finding an email address is frequently the final step. You may know exactly who you want to contact, but you don’t have their contact information. A valid email address is worth its weight in gold.
Some prospects have their email address published on one of their web profiles, making it simple to contact them.
To uncover email addresses for everyone else, you’ll have to do a little more digging.
We’ve scoured the web for the best email discovery tools – everything you need to source applicants more successfully – to make that detective much easier.
Here’s our official list of the 21 top email address-finding tools:
1. Hiretual
Free: 15 credits per month. Paid plans start at $59 per month
Hirtual works with all of the major sourcing sites (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook).
It’s a powerful chrome addon that not only retrieves email addresses, but also gathers extra data such as experience, seniority, and compensation range.
Hiretual also includes an AI-powered sourcing assistant.
You can submit your sourcing chores and the AI assistant will do the work for you while you sleep or sip your coffee.
2. Sellhack
Free: 10 credits per month. Paid plans start at $19 per month

5. Voila Norbert
Free: 50 leads. Paid plans start at $.10 per lead
Norbert is a helpful helper who will help you uncover business email addresses and will provide you 50 free leads to try out the product.
It’s straightforward to use — no plugin is required — but there’s no check for catchall addresses, and the number of searches users may do is limited (to avoid the service being blocked by SMTP servers).
6. Find That Email

You can search for emails individually or upload huge lists of prospects using the “Yellow Pages” of email.

With so many email locating programs having troubles with accuracy, it’s encouraging to learn that this one claims to have a success rate of over 90%.
7. Lusha
Free: 5 credits per month. Paid starts at $25 per month
Lusha is mostly interested in locating personal email addresses (arguably a better channel to reach candidates than their business email.)
It doesn’t just provide email addresses; it also provides phone numbers for many prospects.
8. Hunter
Free: 150 credits per month. Paid plans start at €39 per month
Hunter is yet another popular tool for locating enterprise email addresses. It includes an email finder, domain search, and email verification (95 percent of verified emails are deliverable).

Another tool for finding emails one by one or in mass.

They only charge for successfully verified email addresses.
10. Headreach

11. Prophet

Another useful chrome plugin for finding email addresses, social accounts, and phone numbers is Prophet.
LinkedIn appears to have stopped operating recently, however contact information for candidates can still be found on several websites.
12. Rocketreach
Free: 5 credits per month. Paid plans start at $49 per month
Rocketreach maintains a database of over 250 million professionals from over 6 million businesses.
In a single search, you may obtain personal and work emails, phone numbers, and full profile information from 50+ websites.
13. Connectifier Auto Search
Free: None. Pricing available on request.
LinkedIn purchased Connectifier in 2016 and it now integrates with LinkedIn Recruiter. When you’re exploring a LinkedIn profile, the tool includes a web browser sidebar that appears. Users get access to more than 450 million email addresses, which is a sizable pool of talent.
14. Discoverly
Free
When it comes to candidate outreach, context is key, and Discoverly is built to provide recruiters more context.
The tool collects social data from Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and displays it in a little sidebar in your email inbox.
When it comes to locating email addresses, the application asks you to enter a few different email combinations, and Discoverly selects the most likely ones.
15. Rapportive
Free
Rapportive, like Discoverly, tells you all you need to know about people right in your inbox, using LinkedIn data to populate a handy sidebar.
Rapportive doesn’t find emails in the traditional sense, but there is a creative approach to getting it to work the way you want it to.
In the email composer’s “To” field, try a couple different variants of someone’s email.
Rapportive will display the proper email address once you’ve entered it.
Simple!
16. Clearbit Connect
Free: 40 credits per month. Paid plans available on enquiry.
Another Gmail extension that allows you to search for someone’s email address immediately in the compose screen.
If you’re not a Gmail user, don’t worry; Clearbit also has a web browser utility.
17. Conspire
Free
Conspire is a unique email search engine.
The software looks through your contacts to see who might be able to introduce you to the person you’re trying to contact.
Simply search for the person or company you’re looking for after you’ve registered.
What follows is a lot of fun.
Conspire generates a relationship graph in your network that highlights persons with strong relationships to your target prospect.
The relationship graph is based on criteria such as frequency, speed, and the length of time they’ve communicated with one another.
18. Email for Corporations
Free
It does pretty much what it says on the tin. This is a free database with email formats for over 1000 organizations (e.g. [email protected]). You can look for a company by name, industry, or location.
The database is primarily made up of larger, more established businesses. This is probably not the tool for you if you’re seeking for email patterns for newer organizations.
19. CEO Email Addresses
Free
Looking for an email for a CEO? Look no further.
20. Advanced Twitter Search
Free
This is more of a technique than a tool for locating email addresses. On Twitter, people are constantly requested for their email address; advanced search can help you identify the last time a prospect responded to this request.
In the “All these phrases” area of advanced search, look for the terms (at) and (dot), and in the “From these accounts” section, type the Twitter handle of the candidate you’re interested in. (If you use the word “email,” you’ll wind up with a list of tweets about email.)
21. Google
Free
The “old fashioned” way. Google usually has the answer for your queries, sometimes it finds email addresses too.
Here are the search strings that you need to get started:
- [name] + email (or) email address
- [name] + contact (or) contact information (or) contact me
- site:companywebsite.com + [name] + email
- site:companywebsite.com + [name] + contact
