If you are looking for a comprehensive business directory, jigsaw.com will give you a competitive edge:

2. Download company data.

Let’s say you wanted to do an “advanced search” on a company.
Step 1: Choose a job title and/or company
Step 2: Choose a level, whether it’s staff or management.
Step 3: Select a department. Choose country, industry and number of employees.

Let’s say that you just want to go a general idea about employers, whether you’re relocating or contemplating career change. Simply click onto “Browse” and view the companies.

Using jigsaw.com to uncover leads and tap into the hidden job market

Preparing to write a cover letter or prepare for an interview? An even more proactive stance for job seekers is to take advantage of the free “download company data.” It’s like company blueprint, complete with a list of contacts, telephone numbers and job titles. What a goldmine of information!

Ever tried to write a customized, sales or cover letter without getting the key contacts? No more excuses with the download company data feature.

the real goldmine is the free "download" of company data.

For example, you can type in an employer, and see comprehensive information about a company. I did so yesterday, and found a local, municipal employer, complete with job titles, phone number extension and email.
I was flabbergasted to know that there were only 1100 employees working for a Canadian city government!


Jigsaw.com can give job candidates a competitve edge before an interview.
