FAQ
How does findera work?
findera is a search engine. Yet, it differs from existing search engines in three majors ways:
- It is designed to find professional people and companies.
- It understands the relationships between people and companies, which make it easy to expand or refine your searches as needed.
- It provides more useful results such as personalized lists that you can export and share with others.
For example, if you search for “VP of Human Resources” at companies in the Telecommunications industry, with 50 employees or more,findera returns a list of people at companies that match these criteria. You can export that list and share it with the people you work with. In fact, you can create as many lists as you want and export them as a CSV files, which makes it easy to use in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and other tools.
findera is brand new. Please consider this alpha version as the foundation of great things to come. If you find that it’s missing data, or filters that matter to you, please do tell us at team@findera.com. This way, we can make sure that your needs are included in our to-do-list.
Who is it for?
findera is designed for business professionals including: recruiters, business owners, business development and sales professionals, consultants, and people who do market research.
Why create an account with findera?
You can use findera without creating an account. Yet, a findera account allows you to do more including: accessing some people’s contact information, customizing the way information is displayed, creating and exporting lists, and seeing your direct and indirect relationships with other people and companies. To create an account, you must login with your Google or Microsoft account. This is necessary for authentication purposes.
Is findera really free?
Yes, findera is free for individual professionals.
Most providers of business information require a costly subscription. We believe that information should be freely available to individual business professionals. In the future, we may make money by providing enhanced services for organizations, such as CRM integration, and supporting teamwork scenarios.
Where does the data come from?
We search tens of millions of sites, news sources and documents on the Internet to gather public information. We also acquire databases which are sometimes used by the sales and marketing departments of large enterprises. We analyze, process and validate this public information to remove incorrect, duplicate, and stale data.
Additionally, if you chose to create an account with findera and sign-in using a Google or Microsoft account, we may use some of your contacts information, or email and calendar metadata to deliver advanced benefits. These benefits include the ability to see who has viewed your profile, filter companies based on the people you know, and view common contacts between you and a person you may not know yet. Over time, findera can remember your preferences and help you maintain the desired frequency of communications or meetings with your most important business relationships.
