Export contact information (Profession class)
When you click the Export icon, a new pop-up window will open. If you need to get more information on the personnel working for a certain company, select a profession class to get all names relevant to the selected employee group. You can select one or more profession classes.
When you have selected to export profession classes it will result in duplicate rows on export, because each row represents one employee. Contact information, if available, can be found in the last columns.

Note❗ Vainu is not focused on collecting personal information and, for that reason, offers a limited amount of contact information. Our contact data sources are a combination of official registry sources and open online sources. In Finland and Sweden, we also provide manually gathered, human-verified contact records–the key decision-makers–adhering to GDPR compliance rules when collecting these records.
If you need to export a larger list, contact your Vainu contact person.
