As someone who has had to go through large numbers of internal phone numbers to find the right candidates, I can appreciate what this saves in time and drudgery. Would a project like this at the rate of $20-$50/name cost around $20-$50k, or is there typically a different rate for high-volume projects like this?

I know you do these things, however for the benefit of others reading this post, I want to point out that you can build on the info you just described how to gather. For instance, once you have the email domain and a sense for the phone tree structure, you can use Google to reveal a lot more contact information. It will often times turn up association directories, vendor lists and sometimes you find someone has published a whole department directory. You can search the company's website via Google for certain file types (DOC, PDF, XLS) which will often contain names and contact info. Maureen, Thanks for the great post.
