This People dataset helps you grow your business by spending less time manually collecting intent data. Captain Data allows you to extract available intent signals in real time and at scale, including job titles, events, contact information, and company profiles. You can also enrich data from LinkedIn and other sources by combining multiple actions, then push everything directly into your CRM or stack via our API.
What are the benefits of using the People dataset?
Whether you want to uncover new buyers, detect meaningful interactions in real time, or engage at scale, this dataset enables better outcomes while saving you countless hours of manual work.
- Uncover high-quality leads – Identify ideal customer profiles (ICPs) in real time and extract intent signals directly from their activity.
- Detect buying signals – Track live events like job changes, new skills, or company announcements to spot opportunities earlier.
- Provoke engagement at scale – Connect, message, or enrich thousands of prospects without repetitive manual work.
- Optimize your go-to-market – Map your Total Addressable Market (TAM), uncover niche opportunities, and build better-targeted lists.
- Simplify hiring processes – Empower HR teams with real-time candidate databases, enriched with verified contact details.
Uncover high-quality leads
Instead of wasting time with outdated databases, you can extract thousands of qualified profiles in real time. Apply filters such as industry, seniority, geography, or activity to focus only on the people who match your ICP. For example:
- Identify prospects attending targeted events.
- Find relevant posts and extract the profiles of those who engaged with them.
- Enrich CRM contacts with missing information such as verified email addresses or job changes.
This allows your sales team to focus on conversations that matter rather than data entry.
Detect buying signals
Signals are at the heart of intent data. With Captain Data’s Signal Extraction APIs, you can monitor how your prospects interact, discover, and decide. Examples include:
- Career milestones such as new hires, promotions, or role changes.
- Job postings that reveal expansion or new initiatives.
- Engagement signals like likes, comments, connections, and posts.
By tracking these events in real time, you can detect new opportunities as they appear and reach out at the perfect moment.
Provoke engagement at scale
Once you’ve identified relevant prospects, Captain Data helps you take engagement further. Instead of sending generic messages, you can personalize at scale:
- Send tailored connection requests automatically to warm up relationships.
- Deliver personalized InMails or follow-up messages without manual effort.
- Trigger automated actions like liking or commenting on posts to stay visible.
This approach takes personalization to the next level, enabling targeted B2B campaigns that convert better than traditional outreach.
Optimize your go-to-market
Intent data helps refine your GTM strategy. With Captain Data, you can:
- Map your Total Addressable Market (TAM) using live signals and enriched company data.
- Uncover niche segments that fit your ICP but may not appear in static databases.
- Keep CRM records always fresh and aligned with real-world market movements.
These insights make your pipeline more predictable and help prioritize accounts most likely to convert.
Simplify your hiring process
HR and recruitment teams can also benefit from People dataset actions:
- Extract candidates that match specific filters like education, experience, or skills.
- Enrich candidate profiles with verified emails or phone numbers to boost outreach success.
- Keep candidate databases in your ATS or CRM always up to date with new role changes.
- Automate personalized outreach at scale to increase response rates.
This frees HR teams from repetitive sourcing work so they can focus on high-value tasks such as interviews and candidate engagement.
How it works
- Choose the action you want to use (e.g. extract people profiles, detect signals, enrich with contact details).
- Connect your account securely.
- Provide inputs such as profile URLs, search links, or IDs.
- Define optional filters and parameters, like number of results or schedule.
- Run the action and export data into your CRM, Google Sheets, or directly via API.
That’s it — you’re ready to build reliable, compliant, and real-time people datasets.
Why Captain Data stands out
Most tools only provide static or outdated lead lists.
Captain Data goes further by delivering human, social, dynamic, and smart data — revealing how buyers interact, decide, and purchase. Here’s what makes it unique:
- Intent data at scale – Extract real-time signals such as role changes, job postings, and engagement metrics.
- Action-based automation – Run standalone actions without needing to build complex workflows.
- Advanced filters – Apply LinkedIn and company filters such as revenue, growth, technologies, and funding events.
- Flexible enrichment – Append verified emails or phone numbers with waterfall enrichment.
- Seamless integrations – Push data directly into Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, or your own stack.
- Customizable strategies – Build personalized engagement campaigns based on real-world intent signals.
Why it’s better than alternatives
Many providers rely on static databases or outdated enrichment.
These often lack buyer intent signals and result in poor targeting. Captain Data, by contrast, delivers:
- Always up-to-date intent data from real-time actions.
- Signals that reveal market moves before competitors can act.
- Automated actions that turn insights into engagement instantly.
Whether you’re scaling a SaaS GTM motion, optimizing AI agents with real-time insights, or empowering recruiters with live candidate data, this dataset equips you with an edge.
