About Frontier

Frontier is an American enterprise software company developing AI-powered sales prospecting and talent acquisition tools. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Francisco, the business combines sourcing, contact enrichment and workflow automation to help sales teams work with prospect data and employers connect with candidates.

The company began as an automated recruitment and job-matching platform serving work-from-home candidates and employers. Its marketplace technology reduced manual steps in the application process through automated applicant pre-screening and direct virtual interview scheduling. Qualified candidates could arrange interviews with employers on the same day, bypassing traditional resume submission cycles.

Browser-based sales workflows

Building on its sourcing and data orchestration capabilities, Frontier developed Exportly, a Chrome-based prospecting tool. The company subsequently unified its operations under the Frontier brand. Its current software brings prospecting agents and data workflows into the browser, allowing sales development representatives and revenue operations teams to perform tasks while working on web pages.

The browser extension supports multi-source contact enrichment through Clay, account scoring, buying committee mapping and CRM logging. These workflows help teams enrich prospect information and synchronize deduplicated records with systems including Salesforce and HubSpot. Frontier also supports Pipedrive synchronization and Model Context Protocol integrations.

Frontier Anywhere extends these capabilities to contact verification and data extraction from spreadsheets and websites, connecting prospect lists with enterprise CRM workflows. Together, the products address the movement of prospect information between research surfaces, enrichment tools and customer databases, reducing the need to switch between separate interfaces during sales research.

Markets and applications

Frontier serves B2B software and SaaS businesses, enterprise sales development teams, revenue operations functions and technology recruiting. Its research-supported customer examples include Zoom, Glean, Pendo, Cursor and Webflow. Alongside its sales software, its product portfolio includes an automated hiring marketplace and an AI sales jobs portal, reflecting the company's development from recruitment automation into broader sourcing and sales workflows.
