Overview
Find accounts by what just happened to them. Search Scoops queries ZoomInfo's database of curated business events, so you can pull every company that hired a new CRO last quarter, announced a project, or went through a round of layoffs. Each record is a discrete, dated event with a source behind it, researched by people rather than inferred from behavior. That makes it the starting point for trigger-based outbound.
What You'll Get
A list of companies matching the event you described. Each result carries:
- Company name and basic profile
- The scoop itself, with event type and description
- Publication date
- Department, where the event is department-specific
Best For
- Trigger-based and event-driven prospecting
- Reaching a new executive during their first 90 days
- Timing outreach to a funding round or expansion
- Finding accounts with a stated pain point you solve
Already know the account and want its recent events? Use Enrich Company Signals. To find companies by research behavior rather than a confirmed event, use Search Intent.

Credits
Free. Search Scoops consumes no bulk data credits. Each scoop returned does count toward your record and request limits. See Credits & Billing.
Automatic Tool Selection
The AI reaches for Search Scoops when you describe an event rather than a company profile. It may chain into Search Contacts to find the right person at each account, or into Enrich Company Signals for a fuller view of one company.
