Ive got a list of 42k companies and im only getting 2.5k people from my find people search (the search is just seniority, surely it should be 1 founder/CEO per company and I should have at least 42k people?) Theres no other filters Let me know why its only showing a small amount when doing the search. thanks

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

    While in premise/writing that may be true, we've found that many companies, especially if they're smaller businesses often don't standardize their titles and may have variations or no titles at all, which is hard to detect.I'll take a look at your table and see what I can find

    Yep, I ran a search without specifying any titles, and seems like many companies either don't have any people associated with them (checked a few that said they were "self-employed" in size) or titles+locations vary quite a bit.

    Ahhh right I see that’s interesting. Is there a way around this to find these people or is it a case of smaller companies will inevitably have this issue?

    Yep, I find it's hard to standardize searches for smaller companies more often than not. Hard to say what would work best here :/People are very creative with their LI titles sometimes
