Use Job Change Alerts to Update Contacts

Overview

When you save a contact, Apollo monitors for any updates to their data, like when they move from one company to another. Use job change alerts to enrich contacts when they've changed employment so your prospect list is always up-to-date with the correct information. You can even create new contacts based on job change alerts.

With updated contacts, you have better insight into your prospects' wants and needs, empowering your outreach and engagement.
