LinkedIn alternatives that provide contact details and active-job signals

Two tools that most closely match what you describe (contact details + clear signals of active job-seeking) are Lusha and HiringSolved-type sourcing platforms — but each has tradeoffs. Short, practical options:

1. HireEZ (formerly Hiretual)

• What it gives: Aggregates candidate profiles from across the web, shows contact details (email/phone when available), and surfaces activity signals (recent job changes, profile updates, public availability indicators).
• Active-job signal: Uses enrichment and behavioral signals (e.g., recently updated profiles, job-title changes, “open to work” markers when present). Not a guaranteed label “actively looking,” but it boosts candidates with recent job-seeking indicators.
• Notes: Paid product aimed at recruiters; respects privacy policies but you must follow consent rules when contacting people.

2. Gem + Sourcing/enrichment tools (or Lusha for contact data)

• What they give: Gem is a recruiting CRM that, combined with enrichment services (Lusha, Clearbit, ZoomInfo), supplies emails/phones and helps track outreach and candidate responsiveness. Some enrichment services explicitly surface “actively looking” flags derived from job boards and profile signals.
• Active-job signal: More indirect — you infer active interest from recent applications, responsiveness, or integrated “open to work” flags if the candidate set includes them.

3. SeekOut

• What it gives: Deep searching across public profiles, contact enrichment, diversity filters, and candidate activity indicators.
• Active-job signal: Provides “activity” and “open to work” indicators based on public profile changes and signals. Enterprise-focused, paid.

4. AngelList / WellFound (for startups)

• What it gives: Candidates explicitly state interest in startup jobs; many profiles include contact or allow messaging through the platform.
• Active-job signal: Candidates on AngelList often indicate they’re open to offers or actively looking — clearer than general web scraping.
• Notes: Better for startup/tech roles; contact details sometimes gated behind the platform.

Practical guidance

• No tool can perfectly and ethically tell you someone is “actively looking” unless the person has explicitly indicated it (profile tag, application, “open to work” badge). Most services infer likelihood from recent updates, job-title changes, resumes uploaded to job boards, or public signals.
• Combine: Use a sourcing/search tool (HireEZ, SeekOut) + an enrichment/contact provider (Lusha, Clearbit, ZoomInfo) and prioritize candidates who have explicit “open to work” markers or recent public activity for better accuracy.
• Compliance: Always follow GDPR/CCPA and platform-specific rules when using contact data and when reaching out.

If you tell me industry, location, or budget I can recommend the single best fit and a quick workflow to find and confirm actively-looking candidates.
