Lead-Scraping for German Industrial Companies

Lokasi klien: 🇩🇪 Germany

Tentang pekerjaan

I'm looking for an experienced lead researcher to build a clean, verified list of 1,000–2,500 German industrial companies for B2B cold outreach.

Target companies (all criteria must be met):

Located in Germany
Industrial Mittelstand: mechanical engineering (Maschinenbau), plant engineering (Anlagenbau), sheet metal processing, contract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung), stamping/forming, tool making, steel construction, welding, technical services
15–99 employees
Owner-managed (inhabergeführt): shareholders must be private individuals. No subsidiaries of groups, holdings, corporations or foreign parent companies
Balance sheet total (Bilanzsumme) roughly €1–15M. Revenue if published

Data required per lead (one row per company):

Company name and legal form
Website domain
Address (street, ZIP, city, federal state)
Industry / WZ code
Short description of what the company does (1–2 sentences, in German)
Number of employees, plus the source of that figure
Balance sheet total and revenue, with the year
Managing director: always the youngest one if there are several (first name, last name, year of birth)
Direct phone number of that managing director (if available) plus the central phone number
Email of the managing director, verified. Mark generic emails (info@) separately
Shareholder structure (e.g. "2 private individuals")

Requirements:

Use current register data (NorthData, Handelsregister, Bundesanzeiger), not recycled old databases
All emails verified (bounce rate under 5%)
No duplicates, and managing director data must be current (no former directors)
Delivery as Excel/CSV with the fields above as columns
GDPR-compliant sourcing (public sources only)
German language skills are a strong plus

Process:

Paid test batch of 50 leads first. I'll check quality before we continue.
Then delivery in batches of 250–500.
Leads that don't meet the criteria (wrong size, part of a group, bounced email) will be replaced.

In your proposal, please include:

Your price per lead, and separately per lead with a direct dial
Which tools and sources you use
How you check whether a company is owner-managed and not part of a group
An example of a similar list you've built (anonymized is fine)
Your estimated delivery time for 1,000 leads

Please start your proposal with the word "Mittelstand" so I know you've read the full post.
