SignalHire

Contact finder and ATS-lite for recruiters

Overview

The honest take

Where it breaks

Data quality is inconsistent: some lookups return outdated or wrong contacts, and credits run out quickly for high-volume sourcing, pushing heavier users toward more expensive plans. The ATS features are useful but too thin to replace a real recruiting system.

The verdict

SignalHire is a practical, affordable contact finder for recruiters and small sales teams who value unlimited seats and built-in candidate tracking over best-in-class data. It works well for moderate-volume LinkedIn sourcing, but teams that depend on accuracy or large-scale enrichment will likely outgrow it.

FAQ

Is SignalHire credit-based or seat-based?

Credit-based. You pay for contact reveals, and every paid plan includes unlimited users, so adding teammates does not raise the price.

Does SignalHire provide phone numbers?

Yes. Separate Phones and Emails & Phones plans surface mobile numbers, and reviewers cite phone coverage as a reason to use it for outbound.

How accurate is the data?

Reviews are mixed. Many users praise the contact accuracy, but a notable share report incomplete, outdated, or incorrect records, so verification is wise for important outreach.

Can SignalHire replace an ATS?

Only partially. It includes a candidate-tracking layer that suits solo recruiters and small teams, but it is lighter than a dedicated applicant-tracking system.

Does it work outside of LinkedIn?

Yes. Beyond the LinkedIn extension you can run bulk searches inside the app and export results, though the extension is the most-cited workflow.
