# Relevant contacts

Sumble surfaces relevant contacts throughout the platform so you can quickly identify the right people to engage at any organization. Rather than searching through LinkedIn or your CRM separately, you'll find people connected directly to the teams, job functions, and job posts you're already researching.

## Where contacts appear

### Within teams

When you drill into a team on an organization page, you'll see the people Sumble has associated with that team. This lets you identify who actually works on the team you're selling into — not just the department head, but the engineers, managers, and directors involved.

People shown on a team are matched based on their LinkedIn profile's current role and the team structure Sumble has extracted from job posts.

### By job function

The job functions tab on an organization page groups people by their role category (Engineering, Sales, Marketing, etc.). Within each function, people are ranked by seniority so you can quickly find decision-makers.

Use the job level filter in the search bar to narrow results to specific levels — for example, showing only Directors and above in a particular function.

### Associated with job posts

When viewing a job post, Sumble shows people who are likely connected to that hiring activity — members of the team that posted the job, people in the same function, or the hiring manager. This context helps you understand who is driving a hiring initiative and who might benefit from your product.

## Adding contacts to lists

From any place where people appear, you can add them to a [contact list](/web-application/contact-lists.md) for tracking and follow-up:

1. Click the list icon or the **Add to List** action next to a person
2. Select an existing list or create a new one
3. The person is saved with their current role and organization details

Contact lists are accessible from the left sidebar and can be exported. See [Contact lists](/web-application/contact-lists.md) for the full workflow.

## Connecting to people search

For broader searches beyond a single organization, use [People search](/web-application/people-search.md) to find contacts across all organizations matching your filters. You can filter by technology skills, job function, job level, and location to build targeted contact lists at scale.
