Cognism is a compliant B2B data and enrichment platform that gives teams accurate people and company records with direct dials. Pull phone-verified mobiles, emails, firmographics, and hiring signals via Chrome extension, list builder, or API; de-duplicate, segment, and sync automatically. It tracks coverage, match rates, enrichment success, intent/topic uptake, connect rates, and credit usage with clear audit trails.

Integrates with major CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive), ATS/CRMs, sales engagement (Outreach/Salesloft), and automation tools (n8n/Zapier) plus webhooks for real-time sync.

For modern recruitment, use it to build hiring-manager universes, enrich candidate contact details with verified dials, identify target accounts showing hiring intent, map talent pools by skills/location, and trigger outreach when org changes appear—while GDPR/DNC safeguards run behind the scenes.

Cognism sits as the data layer feeding Clay for personalization and Instantly/Aircall for multi-channel outreach.

1. Increases Connects per Consultant (phone-verified direct dials)
2. Better and Faster Targeting (intent + clean firmographics)

Like all data enrichment tools, companies should find the ones that best sit within their working methods and automations.

Cognism is a great platform at a reasonable rate which provides above average data enrichment.

Should be used in general as one of many data enrichment tools.
