Company Search — EQ ICP

This post walks you through how to perform a company search using EQICP. The process is fast, guided, and built to turn a simple search idea into a curated feed of opportunities you can act on immediately.

Overview: what this workflow delivers

The goal is simple: start with a target company type, refine your criteria, and let the system enrich results so you can find hiring managers, recent news, and contact details — then reach out with personalized messages or save interesting opportunities to your feed.

Step 1 — Start your company search

Begin by entering the type of company you’d like to reach. This can be a brief description, a target category, or a keyword that represents the kind of organizations you want to find.

Tip: Be specific enough to narrow results but broad enough to surface meaningful matches.

Step 2 — Clarify the criteria

After you enter your initial query, a clarification agent appears to confirm any additional fields you want to add. Typical optional filters include:

  • Location
  • Company size
  • Industry

This step ensures the search understands your intent before running a broader enrichment process.

Step 3 — Enrich and run the search

Once criteria are set, our enriching agent runs the query and returns a list of matching companies. The enrichment stage pulls together publicly available data, internal records, and signals that make each result actionable.

What you get back is more than a name — it’s context that helps you decide whether a company is worth pursuing.

Step 4 — Explore individual company details

For each company in the results you can view:

  • Key company details (size, industry, location)
  • Access to hiring managers and executives
  • Recent news connected to the organization

Having these elements in one place reduces the research time and improves the relevance of your outreach.

Step 5 — Enrich contacts and automate outreach

From a company profile you can enrich contact information for individuals and automatically generate personalized outreach messages. The system uses the company context and role information to tailor messaging so your first touch is informed and relevant.

Why this matters: Personalized messages convert far better than generic templates. Automation here frees you to focus on high-value follow-up while keeping first touches specific.

Step 6 — Save, like, and build a curated feed

If you want to keep track of a company, mark it with a like. Liking a company adds it to your curated feed of opportunities, making it easy to follow updates, revisit profiles, or prioritize outreach.

This creates an ongoing list of targets you can monitor and act on, keeping your pipeline fresh.

Quick recap

  1. Type the type of company you want to reach.
  2. Confirm additional filters with the clarification agent.
  3. Run the enriching agent to find and enrich matches.
  4. Review company profiles for key details, people, and news.
  5. Enrich contacts and generate personalized outreach automatically.
  6. Like companies to add them to your curated feed.
