Finding a promising profile is not the same as finding a candidate. Recruiters still need to understand whether the person is relevant, find a reliable way to contact them and bring every useful interaction back into the CRM.
Contact-X brings that work together inside Chameleon-i. It helps recruitment agencies discover people beyond their existing database, reveal available email addresses and phone numbers, organise prospects and move the right people into a live recruitment workflow.

Social recruitment is no longer just posting vacancies on social networks and waiting for applications. For an agency recruiter, the bigger opportunity is reaching people who may be suitable for a role but are not actively applying—or are not yet in your database.
That requires a connected process: define the brief, find relevant professional profiles, review the evidence, uncover a route to contact and keep the resulting work visible to the rest of the team. Contact-X is designed around that process.
Recruiters can describe the person they need in plain language. Contact-X interprets the brief and turns it into structured search criteria, helping the recruiter get from a vacancy conversation to a usable search faster.
Searches can be refined using the details that matter to recruiters, including job title, seniority, location, skills, experience, employer background, languages and certifications. Manual filters remain available, so the recruiter stays in control rather than accepting a black-box result.
Projects and saved searches keep sourcing work organised by client, vacancy, market or campaign. This makes it easier to return to a search, improve it and share progress without rebuilding the same work from scratch.
A job title rarely tells the whole story. Contact-X gives recruiters a fuller professional view, including available career history, education, skills, location and current employment information. That makes the first review more informed and helps teams spend their time on people with a credible reason to fit the brief.
Recruiters can pin promising profiles to a shortlist and keep the strongest prospects together. Contact-X can also identify when a professional profile is already linked to a record in Chameleon-i, reducing duplicate effort and helping recruiters build on the relationship history the agency already owns.
The commercial value of sourcing appears when a recruiter can begin a relevant conversation. From a Contact-X profile, recruiters can request an available email address or phone number instead of losing time moving between disconnected tools and copying data by hand.
Contact details are revealed only when requested, and the credit cost is shown before the action. Availability varies by person, so Contact-X does not pretend that every search result will have a usable email address or telephone number. It gives recruiters a practical, controlled way to uncover contact routes for the people worth approaching.
When a profile is worth pursuing, it can be added directly to Chameleon-i as a candidate or client record. The recruiter can then work with that person through the CRM instead of leaving important sourcing activity in browser tabs, personal notes or isolated lists.
This creates a cleaner handover from research to recruitment. Colleagues can see the record, continue the conversation and connect the person to the agency's wider candidate, client and vacancy workflow.
Good outreach is rarely one message. Contact-X lets recruiters add suitable people to structured sequences, schedule follow-up steps and personalise communication using the information held in Chameleon-i.
Sequences can combine email and SMS, with WhatsApp available where it is enabled and configured. Recruiters can control timing, use templates and variables, and monitor sequence progress and activity logs. The result is more consistent follow-up without removing the judgement and personal relevance that strong recruitment depends on.
Contact-X is not simply a social-media posting tool or a list of names. It removes friction between finding a person and working with them. Recruiters still bring the market knowledge, judgement and human approach; Contact-X gives them a faster route from a difficult brief to a managed pool of reachable prospects.
