How to find an HR Director’s email address

Short answer

Search LinkedIn or Sales Navigator for the HR director titles below, filtered by Human Resources and Director and Vice President, then export the search with the Scrupp Chrome extension. Scrupp returns each person with the work email and phone number it finds, so one search becomes a list of HR directors you can contact.

Titles that mean “HR director”

The senior people role goes by many names: HR Director, Head of People, Chief People Officer, VP Human Resources. Recruiting may sit inside it or beside it.

HR Director / Director of Human Resources
Head of People / VP People
Chief People Officer (CPO) / CHRO
HR Business Partner (larger companies)

A title search that catches most of them, pasted into the LinkedIn or Sales Navigator title field:

("HR Director" OR "Head of People" OR "VP People" OR "Chief People Officer" OR "CHRO" OR "Director of Human Resources") NOT (assistant OR intern OR coordinator)

More on the syntax: LinkedIn boolean search.

Step by step

From a search to HR directors’ emails

Step 1

Build the search

In Sales Navigator, set Function: Human Resources and Seniority level: Director and Vice President, add the title search above, then narrow by company headcount, industry and geography. On regular LinkedIn, use People search with the title keywords and location.
Step 2

Check the first page

Read ten results. If people with the wrong job show up, add their title words to the search with NOT, then save the search so you can rerun it.
Step 3

Export with Scrupp

With the Scrupp Chrome extension installed, click its button on the results. Sales Navigator stops a search at 2,500 results; Scrupp exports more than that from the same search.
Step 4

Get emails and phones

Scrupp looks up a work email and a phone number for each person. Download the list as CSV or Excel, or send it to HubSpot or Pipedrive.

What works with HR directors

People leaders care about hiring, retention and compliance; tie your message to one of those.
At companies under about 100 employees, HR is often one person, so the HR Manager title is worth a separate search.
Check the list before you send: Scrupp marks addresses on catch-all domains as probable rather than verified, and you can run a bulk check with the email verifier.
