Want a real B2B lead engine, not scraped CSVs?
Why pick a CaptainData agency that ships pipelines
CaptainData is the cleanest LinkedIn scraping plus B2B enrichment platform in the EU. French-built, GDPR-aware, multi-source waterfall enrichment, no-code workflows. The catch: out of the box, it gives you 200+ blocks and the responsibility of stitching them right. Get the order wrong, you burn credits. Hack'celeration has built dozens of CaptainData workflows for sales and recruitment teams and knows the patterns that actually deliver.
The team treats CaptainData as the orchestrator of your B2B data layer. Sales Navigator search returns 2,500 leads, enrichment finds 95% of their emails through waterfall (Dropcontact, Hunter, Datagma, FullContact), validation cleans bounces, output lands in HubSpot or Lemlist ready to sequence. Field note: a recruiting client had 18% email accuracy on their previous tool. The team rebuilt the workflow with proper waterfall order and validation, accuracy hit 92% on the same audience. Same data sources, smarter sequence.
Honest take: for pure LinkedIn social automation (likes, comments, connection requests), PhantomBuster and Texau are more flexible. CaptainData wins on B2B data pipelines (scrape, enrich, validate, push to CRM) with EU compliance. The team will pick the right tool, not push CaptainData where it does not fit.
What a CaptainData agency actually builds
Three core layers: extraction, enrichment, activation. Plus the operations that hold it together.
Extraction. Sales Navigator search and lead list scraping, LinkedIn Recruiter for talent sourcing, company pages, post engagers, group members, event attendees. The team configures account rotation, daily limits and headless session reuse to stay under LinkedIn's radar. Quick win: a single Sales Navigator account safely scrapes ~2,500 leads per day. Plan your quotas before launching a 100k campaign.

Enrichment. Waterfall logic across 8 to 12 providers: Dropcontact (best on FR/EU), Hunter (US-strong), Datagma, FullContact, Apollo, Anymailfinder, Clearout for validation. The team orders providers by price and hit rate per region so each lead costs the minimum needed. Output: verified email, phone (when allowed), company size, industry, tech stack, social profiles. Realistic numbers: 60 to 75% match rate on cold LinkedIn audiences, 85 to 95% on warm audiences with at least 2 known fields.
Activation. Push to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Folk, Attio, or directly to outbound tools (Lemlist, Instantly, Waalaxy). The team scores leads on firmographics and behavioral signals before pushing, so reps see hot ones first. Automation on n8n handles routing, dedup and conditional logic.
Operations. Daily monitors on credit usage, weekly enrichment quality reports, alerts on broken steps. The team builds dashboards in Airtable or Notion so your sales ops lead sees what is happening without digging through CaptainData logs.
How to ship CaptainData in 2 weeks
CaptainData projects move fast when the ICP is clear. Week 1. ICP definition (job titles, company size, industry, geo, signals), Sales Navigator search build, sample run on 200 leads, enrichment waterfall config, manual QA on output quality. The team validates that the ICP returns enough volume before scaling. Week 2. Workflow productionization, scoring rules, CRM mapping (HubSpot or Salesforce fields), outbound tool wiring (Lemlist, Instantly), monitoring dashboards. By end of week 2, your reps get fresh enriched leads daily without lifting a finger. Quick win: start with 1 ICP and 1 outbound sequence. Most teams try 5 ICPs at once, hit data quality issues, lose 3 weeks. Narrow first, scale later.
A CaptainData agency for every team
Sales. Daily Sales Nav search runs, fresh leads enriched and dropped into HubSpot with score, last-job-change signal, recent post engagement. Pair with lead generation sequences on Lemlist or Lemlist for automated outreach. According to LinkedIn benchmarks, signal-based outbound (job change, funding, hiring) converts 3 to 5x better than blanket cold lists. The team builds these signal pipelines on CaptainData.
Recruitment. LinkedIn Recruiter scraping, candidate enrichment, ATS push (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Teamtailor). The team builds workflows where a new requisition in your ATS triggers a CaptainData Recruiter search, enriches the top 100 profiles, scores them, and drops them in the ATS pipeline. Saves 8 to 15 hours per requisition for the recruiter.
Marketing & ops. Account-based marketing lists, ICP refresh, post-event lead enrichment (scrape attendees, enrich, sync to HubSpot), partner sourcing. The team also runs CaptainData for inbound lead enrichment: a form-fill triggers a workflow that pulls LinkedIn data, company info and intent signals before the lead lands in front of sales.
A CaptainData agency that scores leads with AI
The team plugs LLMs into CaptainData workflows for richer scoring than rule-based logic. Pull a LinkedIn profile, ask Claude "is this person likely a decision-maker on B2B SaaS for HR tooling", get a 0-100 confidence score with reasoning. Pull recent posts of a prospect, summarize their interests and pain points, feed that into the cold email opener. With 2025 cheap inference, this LLM layer adds 0.01 to 0.05 USD per lead, cheaper than wasting an SDR on bad fits.
The team also runs CaptainData with intent signals from third parties. Scrape new funding announcements from Crunchbase via Bright Data, match to your ICP via CaptainData, push to HubSpot with "funded this week" tag. Same for hiring signals (new job posts), tech stack changes (BuiltWith), and product launches. For deeper lead engines on outbound tools, see lead generation and Lemlist agency.
