Career Research Tip: Build Target Lists with AtoZdatabases

AtoZdatabases: Target Company Lists enables you to build custom searches from millions of U.S. business records using criteria including geography, industry, revenue, employee count and then download results in Excel. For career research, it’s generally best to select the 65 million businesses and executives, and choose “get started.”

A unique feature in AtoZ is the mapping function. Instead of limiting your location search to specific zip codes, cities, counties or states, you can draw a custom shape that meets your target search area. For example, you can draw ITP or OTP in Atlanta, or The Loop in Chicago. Creating your target map in AtoZ can help you focus your search on areas you specifically want to target firms.

For each company record, the Executive Directory will include contact information such as email addresses for a variety of employees.

AtoZ offers many short video tutorials to help you get started searching their data sets.
