Number Gathering
Verified direct numbers and contact details for the people you want to reach — researched to your brief, checked before delivery and supplied CRM-ready. Your consultants spend their day talking, not searching.
Every conversation starts with the right number
We find and verify the direct contact details your consultants need — so call time is spent talking, not searching.
Give us the brief — a market, a patch, a candidate list, a client target set — and our research team gathers the direct dials, switchboards, mobiles and email addresses to match. Every contact is verified before it reaches you, and delivered in whatever format your team works in.
Sourcing is GDPR-aware with a documented audit trail, and pricing is by project and volume — so the cost per verified contact is a fraction of the consultant hours it replaces.
Every number gathering project includes:
- Direct dials, switchboards and mobiles researched to your brief
- Verification before delivery — no dead numbers padding the batch
- CRM-ready delivery in your format, on your schedule
- GDPR-aware sourcing with a documented audit trail
- Fast turnaround with volume pricing for ongoing batches

The benefits of outsourced number gathering
More time selling
Consultants stop burning hours hunting for numbers and spend them where they earn — on the phone with candidates and clients. Call time goes up without headcount going up.
Verified & compliant
Every contact is checked before delivery and sourced with a documented audit trail — so the data is accurate to dial and defensible to hold.
Lower cost per contact
Project and volume pricing means each verified number costs a fraction of the consultant time it replaces — and the batch stays yours.
Where number gathering helps
Number gathering is a simple service that solves several expensive problems. Here are the most common:
Fuelling your consultants’ call time
A desk is only as productive as its call sheet. When consultants research their own numbers, selling time disappears into searching.
We keep the call sheets full — a steady, scheduled flow of verified contacts matched to each consultant’s patch, so the phone time never runs dry.

Refreshing a stale database
CRMs decay fast — people move, switchboards change, mobiles go dead. A database full of dead numbers quietly wastes hours every week.
We re-verify and refresh your existing records in batches, flagging leavers and updating details, so the database your team relies on is one they can trust.
Breaking into a new market or patch
Opening a new vertical, geography or client patch means starting from zero contacts.
We build the contact base for the new patch before your consultants pick up the phone — so day one on the new desk is a selling day, not a research day.

Why gather numbers with Audentia?
Contact data is only useful if it’s accurate, compliant and in your team’s hands when they need it. That’s the whole service: verified data, delivered on schedule, at a cost that makes obvious sense against consultant hours.
Verified accuracy
Numbers are checked before they reach you — unverifiable contacts are flagged, never hidden in the batch.
Volume & speed
Batches of hundreds to thousands, turned around fast and delivered on the schedule your desks plan around.
GDPR-aware
Legitimate sourcing with a documented audit trail for every data point, supporting your compliance position.
Your data, your format
Spreadsheets, CRM imports or direct-to-system — delivered your way, and it stays yours.
“Our consultants were losing two hours a day to finding numbers, and half of what was in the CRM was dead. Audentia now keeps every desk’s call sheet full with verified contacts, and re-verifies our database in rolling batches. Call volumes went up the first week — and the cost is trivial next to the consultant time it gives back.”
