7 Ways to Find Corporate Head Honchos
Independent human resource consultants are always looking for contact information for the head honcho at a specific company. They just know in their heart of hearts that if they could talk to the head honcho they’d be able to convince her that she needs to hire them to keep her company out of HR hot water. Good news; there are a variety of tools online to help you find that information. In no particular order, I’ve found and used, to some degree, the following tools to find corporate head honchos:
Annual Reports: On this site you can find the annual reports of public companies. Once you call up the annual report, search it for Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
Lead 411: This site lets you search for companies and people. A company search brings you to a screen with tabbed content. The first tab contains a list of all the executives in the company, and the second tab contains a link to LinkedIn. Once you log in to your LinkedIn account, Lead411 downloads the profiles of company executives to the LinkedIn tab on Lead411.
If you’re an independent HR consultant, Lead411’s LinkedIn connection will be of particular interest to you. The test search I conducted on Lead411 lead me to three HR head honchos, which downloaded via Lead411’s LinkedIn connection.
An interesting thing to note about Lead411 is that you can use it to search for privately held companies too. Although it didn’t find my company, ExtraOrdinary Assistance, it did find a biotech company I know of that’s still in research phase.
Google Search: This is probably the easiest way to find information about any company. In the Google search box, enter the name of the company you want information on, and surround the company name in quotation marks. For example, if you want information about my company, ExtraOrdinary Assistance, you’d enter it into the Google search box like this: “ExtraOrdinary Assistance”.
Need to find a particular person at a company? In the Google search box, enter the person’s title (surrounded by quotes), followed by the plus sign, enter the company name (surrounded by quotes). For example, I recently needed to find out who was the vice president of human resources at Fidelity Investments. In the Google search box, I entered the following: “vice president of human resources” + “Fidelity Investments”. Within the first three organic listings on Page 1 was the name of Fidelity’s EVP of HR. Cool!
Jigsaw: If you already know the name of the person you’re looking to find contact information for, then Jigsaw is the way to go. Entering a person’s name in the Jigsaw search box, will yield full contact information. Looking up a company on Jigsaw yields too many results to make it worthwhile to find people on Jigsaw.
Manta: Manta allows you to search for information for both U.S. and non-U.S. companies.
Hoovers: A search of Hoovers led to a mother-load of information. Hoovers not only found the company I searched for, but they also indicated that D&B (Dunn & Bradstreet) had information on the company I searched for. The D&B information was available for a fee, but the basic information from Hoovers was free.
Yahoo Finance: Searching Yahoo for a company is a bit convoluted, unless you know the company’s stock exchange ticker symbol off the top of your head. If you do, all you have to do is enter the company’s ticker symbol into Yahoo Finance’s search box, and you’ll find all the information you could ever want on the company.
If you don’t know the company’s ticker symbol, look it up on Google. For example, to find the ticker symbol for Charter Communications, I entered the following words into the Google search box: Charter Communications ticker symbol.
