I'm facing a problem with "Find people" from Linkedin using Clay native workflow. Search queries in Clay:
Jobtitle = "Growth"
Input: Company domain = Vibe.co
Nothing else. Clay provided me only 2 results. (Please see screenshot) Whereas, on Linkedin, I have 5 results with "Growth" in their jobtitle. Where the gap comes from ? Is there any tips/best practices so I can improve Clay results?
There could be a few reasons for this discrepancy:1. By default, our Find People feature uses smart matching that automatically includes similar job titles. However, if you have "Exact Keyword Match" toggled on, it will only show results that exactly match "Growth" in the title. 2. For better results, try these tips: โข Toggle off "Exact Keyword Match" to include similar variations โข Use the company's LinkedIn URL instead of the domain, as this typically provides more accurate and comprehensive results โข Make sure you have the correct company table and data field linked in your searchBeing as specific as possible in your search criteria will generally yield better results over the long term.

2nd question:
Also, by checking my own profile on Linkedin I today work at Vibe.co, and previously worked Alan. As you can see on my Linkedin profile, I do not work at Alan since May 2024. I'm working for Vibe since June 2024. But, when searching for "Growth" people at Vibe.co & Alan.com, Clay provided that Martin Galabru is still working at Alan, and not at Vibe. How comes? How can I improve the process, and make sure to exclude this kind of error in my futur search ?
