Task: Locate and Verify Work Email Addresses Objective We have an Excel spreadsheet containing approximately 2,000 individuals, including their name and employer. Your task is to research and identify the current work email address for each individual and add it to the existing Excel file. The goal is to build an accurate, usable database of professional email addresses for these specific individuals. What you need to do For each person in the spreadsheet: 1. Use the person's **full name and employer** as the starting point. 2. Search online to identify their current professional/work email address. 3. Prioritise reliable sources, including: * Employer websites * Company staff/team pages * Professional directories * Conference/event speaker pages * Industry association websites * Public professional profiles * Other reputable business databases or publicly available sources 4. Confirm that the email address relates to the **specific person and employer**, rather than simply finding a generic company email address. 5. Add the email address to the designated email column in the Excel spreadsheet. 6. If you cannot confidently identify an email address, leave the email field blank and mark the record as **"Not found"** in the status column. Important accuracy requirements Do not guess email addresses. For example, if you find that a company uses the format `[login to view URL] (at) [login to view URL]`, do not automatically generate an email address for someone unless you can reasonably verify that the person uses that address. Where possible, cross-check the email against another publicly available source. try to avoid: * Personal Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail addresses * Generic addresses such as info@, enquiries@, reception@ or contact@ * Obviously outdated email addresses * Guessed email addresses that cannot be reasonably verified Return the completed Excel spreadsheet with all original data preserved and the new email research added. Please also provide a short summary showing: * Total records reviewed * People who appear to have left their employer * Any other significant data-quality issues identified

I can accurately research and verify professional work emails for all ~2,000 contacts using the person’s full name and current employer as the primary identifiers. I understand the key requirement: no guessing. I’ll prioritize employer websites, staff/team pages, conference speaker profiles, professional associations, public business profiles, and other reputable sources. I’ll only add an email when I can reasonably confirm it belongs to the specific person and employer. Otherwise, I’ll leave the email blank and mark the record “Not found.” My workflow includes: • Verify current employment before adding an email • Find person-specific professional emails only • Cross-check email/person/company wherever possible • Avoid Gmail/Yahoo, generic inboxes, outdated contacts, and unverified email patterns • Flag people who appear to have left the listed employer • Preserve every original column and record in your Excel file • Run a final QA check for duplicates and questionable matches I’ll also provide a summary showing total records reviewed, people who appear to have left, successful verified emails, not-found records, and other data-quality issues. I’m experienced in web research, lead enrichment, data verification, Excel, and large-scale contact research. I can begin immediately and provide a sample batch first to demonstrate accuracy and consistency before completing the full dataset. Best regards, Reza

The bottleneck is ensuring the professional email for each individual is accurately identified without guessing. The root cause is the reliance on publicly available, verified sources rather than automatic pattern-based generation. I will systematically query multiple reliable directories and employer websites, cross-referencing to validate each email, then update the Excel with the verified data and status flags if emails are not found. This approach ensures high confidence in data accuracy. I will verify by cross-checking consistency across sources and highlighting records flagged as 'Not found' for review. What additional criteria should be used to handle records where email addresses for individuals who have recently changed employers are not publicly available?

Hi, I read your brief carefully, including the accuracy rules — I will follow them exactly rather than take shortcuts. Approach: - For each of the ~2,000 individuals, I search using their full name + employer as the anchor. - Priority sources in order: employer staff/team pages, professional directories, conference/event speaker pages, industry association sites, other public professional profiles. - I confirm the address is genuinely tied to that specific person at that specific employer — not just a generic company inbox. - If a company's address format is known but I cannot verify the individual actually uses it, I leave it blank rather than guess — exactly as you asked. - I skip personal Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail addresses, generic role-based inboxes, and anything that looks outdated. - Where I can, I cross-check the address against a second public source before marking it Verified. Deliverables — this is the best option because it matches what you described exactly, with nothing extra bolted on: - The completed spreadsheet, all your original data preserved, with the email column filled and a status column (Verified / Not found) on every row — this is the best option because you can filter and act on it immediately without cleaning it up first. - A short summary: total records reviewed, people who appear to have left their employer, and any other data-quality issues I notice along the way — this is the best option because it surfaces problems in your source list itself, not just the ones in my research. Access needed to start: your existing Excel spreadsheet with the ~2,000 names and employers. I will not start the milestone until I have it, so you are never paying for waiting time. Honesty on my track record: I have delivered 3 jobs on this platform, none of them a dedicated email-verification research job before. Rather than ask you to take that on faith, I will do the first 15-20 records free before you fund anything, so you can see the sourcing quality and the Verified/Not found judgement calls before committing. Suggested milestone breakdown (total $30, 6 days): - M1 - $6 (20%): first ~400 records researched, methodology confirmed against your spreadsheet - M2 - $12 (40%): next ~800 records - M3 - $12 (40%): remaining records + the summary report Fund M1 to start, release when happy with the batch, then fund the next. Standard Freelancer escrow — protects both of us. Two quick questions so I scope this right: (1) is a work email stated on someone's own public LinkedIn/professional profile page acceptable as a source, or only employer-hosted pages? (2) for anyone who has clearly left the listed employer, would you like me to note their new employer if it's easy to find, or just flag "left employer" and move on? Ready to begin the moment you award + fund M1.

I’ve handled large-scale email verification projects before—this is right in my wheelhouse. I’ll process the 2,000-record Excel dataset by systematically querying employer websites, team pages, and professional directories using Python (pandas, requests, BeautifulSoup, Selenium where needed) to extract only verifiable work emails. Each result will be cross-checked against a second source (e.g., LinkedIn, industry associations, conference pages) to ensure accuracy, avoiding guesses or generic addresses. Outdated or non-professional emails will be flagged and excluded, with "Not found" statuses logged for missing cases. I’ll return the updated spreadsheet with a concise audit summary (total records, employer departures, data anomalies). I can start immediately. Thanks, Andrii

Looking forward to discussing this further! Best regards, Saad Ahmed
