Does anyone know of any company that offers a fee-based service for tracking down employment information on alumni?  Similar to Blackbaud's data enrichment services, if they offerred an EmploymentFinder.

We recently went through the process of creating an Alumni Directory with Harris Connect.  They tracked down a lot of info on our Alums including employment, phone, email, address, family etc. However, I don't know if they work independently of the directory process.

Thanks Nina - I'll take a look at Harris Connect and see if they can help us.

We too used Harris Direct and got a good amount of business information.  However, most of it is user generated and you get back quite a bit of nonsense.  In addition, their employees had a hard time telling me the source of the data that was returned and made mistakes with the queries they created for us on their online portal, causing problems with finding and importing all the updated data.
