A people search that shows its sources
A people finder is only as useful as your ability to check what it tells you. Deep Search gathers public information about a person when you search, then ties each fact in the report to the page it came from. If a claim looks wrong, open its source and judge it yourself.
A report brings together what public pages say about someone's work history, education and public profiles, with public photos linked to their name. Subscribe to unlock it, and nothing in it is blurred.
What a report leaves out
Contact details. Email addresses, phone numbers and contact links are removed before you see anything, because Deep Search is for learning who someone is, not for finding a way to reach them.
For the full walk-through, read how Deep Search works. Weighing up other ways to look someone up? See how it compares with a Google search and with LinkedIn. When you are ready, start a search.
Built for people who meet people
Deep Search helps you prepare before you message, meet or quote someone. It is a research tool, not a way to screen people.
Recruiters
Know who you are about to message, and what they have made public about their work.
Sales teams
Walk into the first call already knowing the person's role, their company and where they have worked before.
Journalists
Check that a source is who they say they are, and find the primary pages.
Founders and investors
See the public track record of the person across the table.

Questions before you search
A people search finds public information about a person, starting from their name. Deep Search sorts what it finds into possible matches, you pick the person you mean, and it builds a report where each fact links to the page it came from.
No. Searching a name and seeing how many profiles and sources we found is always free and unlimited. A subscription unlocks the full report: every profile, its facts, photos and sources.
Usually a minute or two from typing the name to reading the report. Matches join the list as they are found, so you can look through them while the search is still running.
No. Email addresses, phone numbers and contact links are stripped out on our server before any result reaches you, and no plan or setting brings them back.
Public web pages: professional profiles, company sites, news articles, encyclopedias, code hosting and video sites. Every claim in a report carries a numbered source you can open.
No. Deep Search is not a consumer reporting agency, so don't use it for decisions about employment, credit, housing or insurance. Our terms explain what it is for.
