# People search

People search lets you find professionals across all organizations in Sumble's database. Use it to build contact lists, identify decision-makers, or find people with specific skills and experience.

Access people search from the top navigation bar by selecting the **People** tab, or go directly to [sumble.com/people](https://sumble.com/people).

## Searching for people

People search uses the same filter bar as organization search. Available filters include:

| Filter           | What it matches                                                    |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Text search**  | Person name                                                        |
| **Technology**   | Skills listed on their profile                                     |
| **Job function** | Current role category (Engineering, Sales, Marketing, etc.)        |
| **Job level**    | Seniority (Individual Contributor, Manager, Director, VP, C-Suite) |
| **Location**     | Location from their profile                                        |
| **Organization** | Current employer                                                   |
| **Account list** | People at organizations in a specific account list                 |

Filters combine with AND logic — adding both a technology and a job function shows people who match both criteria.

## Search results

Results display a table with each person's name, current title, organization, job function, job level, and location. The table is sorted by seniority by default, with the highest-level people first.

Click any column header to change the sort order.

## Person profiles

Clicking a person's name opens their profile, which includes:

* **Name and current title**
* **Organization** — linked to the organization page in Sumble
* **LinkedIn URL** — direct link to their LinkedIn profile
* **Job function and level** — as classified by Sumble
* **Location and country**
* **Experience history** — past roles with dates
* **Skills** — technologies and tools from their profile
* **Contact list membership** — which of your lists they belong to

## Adding people to contact lists

From search results or a person's profile, you can save people to [contact lists](/web-app/lists-monitoring/contact-lists.md):

* **From the results table** — enable the Actions column (click the `+` on the table header), then use **Add to List** on any row
* **From a profile** — click the list pill next to the Lists section and select a list or create a new one

See [Contact lists](/web-app/lists-monitoring/contact-lists.md) for more on creating and managing lists.

## People within organizations

You can also browse people within a specific organization on the [organization page](/web-app/account-intelligence/organization-pages.md). The People tab there shows the same information, scoped to that company and filtered by any search bar filters you've applied.

## Revealing contact emails

For people where email data is available, you can reveal their email address. This costs 10 credits per contact. See [Credits](/web-app/exports-credits/credits-and-exports.md) for details on credit costs and balances.
