Hi, where do you guys get and update the data from "Enrich person from Linkedin Profile"? [the elaboration says if the data hasn't been updated in the last 45 days you pull it live]

    To elaborate on my question:

    • I believe this thing doesn't have access to all of Linkedin because otherwise I'd get more Linkedin jobs and I want to have the ability to access all current linkedin profiles (and jobs....)

    Hey Boyric we work with a bunch of data providers to get the LinkedIn data and get solid coverage, although not 100%

    so how can I validate the quality of data I'm getting

    without manually comparing it with the real linkedijn

    my assumption is that: a) You have data from some provider b) and this data was scraped by this provider at X time

    sometimes it hasn;t been updated in 45 days so you request new data from the data providers

    One more question! If I'm not satisfied with the 'freshness' of data

    • is it possible to update it somehow using the same enrichment?

    Right now that isn't possible. Sorry! But it does keep updating on a rolling basis.

    Right now we don't have that, although there is going to be more announcements coming this year about features being launched, to help create awareness about what is being built πŸ™‚ I will share this idea with our content team though!
