Detecting job changes
ListPlus can tell you which contacts no longer work at the company your list has for them. You run the check yourself, inside a list; ListPlus doesn't watch contacts on a schedule or send job-change alerts.
How ListPlus decides#
ListPlus compares the company in your list with the positions on the person's LinkedIn profile:
- Changed (certain) — the profile shows the position at your list's company with an end date, and none there that is still current.
- Hint (not certain) — the profile's current positions don't include your company, or a lookup names another company, or the work email turned out invalid. Worth a look by hand.
- Still there — a current position at your company.
Companies are matched by LinkedIn page, domain and name; a name pair that can't be told apart ("Acme" vs. "Acme Robotics") decides nothing. A weaker finding never replaces a stronger one, and a profile that shows the company current again clears the flag.
Detect Job Changes (the wizard)#
Open Tools → Enrich → Detect Job Changes (also in ⌘K). It shows its steps and the estimated price before you start; you can switch steps off:
- Collect the known company — free. Only rows with a company are checked.
- Verify the email address — charged per result; an invalid work address is a strong sign the person left.
- Find the LinkedIn profile via Google — free, only for rows without a profile URL.
- Load the LinkedIn profile — 0.5 credits per profile found; a profile loaded in the last 30 days is reused at no cost, so a very recent change may not show yet.
- Detect job changes — free; the wizard says how many it found.
See it in the list: the "Job change" column#
+ Column → Job change adds a column that costs nothing and reads what enrichments found: "Yes" only for a certain change, "No" otherwise. Pick "Yes / Check / No" to see the hints as "Check". It says "Yes" only while the company cell still names the company the person left — write the new company in and it turns to "No". Filter the column for "Yes" to get everyone who moved.
What changed, per person#
Open a row's record panel: under the LinkedIn source, Different from the list shows the new company and title next to what your list holds ("Lean In — In the list: Meta"), each with Take over to write it into the row. The finding itself is listed under Signals.
Without a new lookup#
- Detect Company Changes (Enrich menu, AI Analysis) runs the same judgement over profiles already stored for the rows — free.
- Every LinkedIn profile or contact lookup judges the row as it arrives, at no extra cost.
Video#
A short video (about a minute, in English and German, with captions) shows the whole check on an old CRM export of twenty well-known executives: the wizard, the Job change column and the record panel. Open it from the ? help in a list — How do I find contacts who changed jobs? — or from A quick tour of ListPlus on the Lists page. You can also ask the help chat for it.
Segment Search#
The "Job change" filter shown in Segment Search's person filters is marked "Not available" and can't be selected. See "How Segment Search filters work" for the full filter list.

FAQ#
Can ListPlus tell me if a contact changed jobs?#
Yes. "Detect Job Changes" in the Enrich panel loads each contact's LinkedIn profile and compares its positions with the company in your list; the free "Job change" column then shows "Yes" for everyone who certainly left.
When does ListPlus say "Yes" and when only "Check"?#
"Yes" only when the profile shows the position at your list's company as ended. Signs without that proof — the company no longer current on the profile, another company named by a lookup, an invalid work email — show as "Check" if you pick "Yes / Check / No" for the column.
Can ListPlus check for job changes automatically on a schedule?#
No. ListPlus doesn't check contacts on a schedule and sends no job-change alerts. Run Detect Job Changes again whenever you want a fresh look.
Do enrichments flag job changes automatically?#
Yes — every LinkedIn profile or contact lookup judges the row when it arrives, at no extra cost on top of the lookup.
Where do I see what changed for a contact?#
In the row's record panel: under the LinkedIn source, "Different from the list" shows the new company and title next to your list's values, with "Take over" to update the row.
What does Detect Job Changes cost?#
0.5 credits per LinkedIn profile found; the other steps are free except the optional email check. A profile loaded in the last 30 days is reused at no cost. The wizard shows the estimate before you start.
Why didn't "Detect Company Changes" find anything?#
It only judges profiles already stored for the rows. Run Detect Job Changes (or a LinkedIn lookup) on those rows first.
Is there a video about job changes?#
Yes — a short video in English and German, with captions. Open it from the ? help in a list ("How do I find contacts who changed jobs?") or from "A quick tour of ListPlus" on the Lists page.
Is there a "Job change" filter I can search by in Segment Search?#
It's marked "Not available" and can't be selected. See "How Segment Search filters work" for what's available.
If a contact's company matches again, does the flag go away?#
Yes — a profile that shows your list's company as current again clears the flag, and the column turns to "No" as soon as the company cell names the new company.
