Email Scrapers / Web Research Assistants – Ongoing Contact Data Projects

I’m hiring a reliable, detail-oriented researcher to help with ongoing contact data projects.
The current project is collecting adult-programming contacts from public library websites across the United States.
There will be ongoing projects over time depending on performance.

This is simple work, but attention to detail is essential.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Visit official library websites
• Find ONE correct adult-programming contact per library
• Enter data using the exact spreadsheet template (no changes to columns)
• Link directly to the staff/directory page where the contact was found
• Use two-letter state abbreviations
• Only add new, unique, valid (non-bouncing) emails
• Avoid irrelevant roles
• Submit each milestone on a new sheet/tab

A valid lead = an email that delivers and does not bounce.
Bounced emails = deducted.

Pay is per valid unique lead.

Familiarity with common web-scraping and email-finding tools is helpful, including:

Hunter.io • Apollo • Snov.io • Clearbit • Clearout • NeverBounce • ZeroBounce • Skrapp • Lusha • RocketReach

(You do not have to use all of these — this list is mainly for tool-related keyword relevance.)

Basic requirements:
• Must know how to look up real emails from legitimate staff pages
