When you search for contacts or job changes by job title, Starbridge doesn’t look for an exact string match. We understand that the same role gets written dozens of different ways, and search accordingly. Search for the role you have in mind, and Starbridge will surface the right contacts.

What your search will return

1. Abbreviations and formatting are handled automatically. Searching “VP of Finance,” “Vice President of Finance,” or “V.P. Finance” will all return the same contacts. Searching “Director of R&D”, “Director of Research and Development”, and “Director of R and D” will all return the same contacts. 2. More senior variants of your title are included; more junior ones are not. Searching “Director of Finance” will return “Senior Director of Finance” and “Executive Director of Finance” — but not “Assistant Director of Finance.” Note that this applies to seniority variants of the same title, not more senior titles altogether. Searching “Director of Finance” will not return “CFO,” even though CFO is a more senior finance role. 3. Results stay within the function you specify. Searching “Vice President of Finance” will return “VP of Finance” — but not “Vice President of Operations” or “Vice President of HR.” 4. Different titles are not interchangeable. Searching “Finance Director” will not return “Finance Manager.” Director and Manager are different titles, even if both are in the Finance domain. 5. If a contact holds multiple titles or domains, searching any one of them will return that contact. For example, a contact whose title is “Director of Enrollment and Admissions” will appear in results whether you search “Director of Enrollment” or “Director of Admissions.” Similarly, a contact whose title is “Executive Vice President and Provost” will appear whether you search “Executive Vice President” or “Provost.”
