# Why do some Lead Mining platforms struggle to deliver contact info for recently hired employees quickly enough?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2, I've been looking into a specific gap in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/lead-mining">Lead Mining category</a>, why some platforms are slow to surface accurate contacts for recently hired or newly moved employees. Job-change data decays fast, so refresh cadence and verification matter more here than raw database size.</p><ul>

Curious whether you cross-check new hires against LinkedIn first.</p>

Oh this is a data-freshness problem more than a bug. These platforms build their contact databases by aggregating and verifying from lots of sources (web, public profiles, user submissions, integrations), and a brand-new hire&#39;s info takes time to show up and get verified across those sources before it lands in the database. So there&#39;s a natural lag between someone starting a job and their new title and email being confirmed. The platforms that do better here are the ones with strong job-change tracking and frequent refreshes, ZoomInfo and LeadIQ both lean into detecting job changes, so they tend to surface movers faster. Smaller or less-frequently-refreshed databases lag more. Honestly, no provider is instant on this, so if catching recent hires fast is critical, I&#39;d test a few on people you know just changed jobs and see who&#39;s current. How recent are we talking, days or weeks after they start?
