Clay waterfall approach (most accurate):

  1. Prospeo LinkedIn enrichment - finds profile from name + company domain (85-90% match rate)
  2. Google Custom Search API - site:linkedin.com/in "[name]" "[company]" as fallback
  3. Apollo person lookup - if you have work email
  4. PhantomBuster LinkedIn search - scrapes company page employees

Validation checklist:

  • Current company matches (or left within 6 months)
  • Name + title make sense
  • Profile has activity (not dead account)

Pro tip: If you have company LinkedIn URL, use "People" tab search in Clay/PhantomBuster - way faster than Google. Gets you 80%+ matches in one go.

Cost: Prospeo = $0.02/find, Google API = $5/1000 searches. Run Prospeo first, Google as backup.
