Contact Search Beyond Title Bingo
Every contact search tool forces you to play a losing game: title bingo. The moment your role has 30+ variants, boolean caps and keyword hacks turn targeting into guesswork.
Targeting contacts was never easy.
Some roles explode into dozens, sometimes close to a hundred, different titles. You either spend hours building long title lists and still miss a big chunk. Or you use tools that try to normalize everything and end up flattening the meaning, losing nuance, and throwing away real signal hidden in the original title.
So the question is not how to list more titles, but what can actually be done differently.
A Sneak Peek from DiscoLike’s Engineering Labs
We took everything we learned from company-level vector search and combined it with a lot of new work on role understanding.
The results honestly surprised us. There is nothing like this on the market today.
Instead of wrestling with title enumeration, you just enter the most common title — or even a very specific one — that you want to target.
For example, starting from IT Support Engineer, the system automatically surfaced all of these:
- Help Desk Technician
- Service Desk Agent
- Desktop Support Specialist
- IT Support Technician
- Customer Support Engineer
- Service Desk Analyst
- Information Technology Technician
- Technician Support N2
- Desktop Support Technician
- Technical Support Specialist
- Junior Support Analyst
- IT Technician
- Hardware Technician
- Deskside Support Technician
- 1st - 2nd Line Software Support Technician
- Help Desk Technician Tier I
- Hardware Support Specialist
- IT Service Desk Technician
- Technical Support Expert N2
…and another hundred-plus variations with different word orders, abbreviations, prefixes, postfixes, and language shifts.
There was no need to give the system any additional guidance. It tracked cleanly with IT focus and seniority levels.
Beyond Titles
The same approach works across headline, summary, experience, education, and more — all in free form and at a conceptual level rather than brittle keyword matching.
More details soon. This one deserves a deeper breakdown.
