Clay S. i want to create a freelance filter but for that its important to access this area where freelance is written - i dont manage to do that and our filters on our clay table only search on Headline, Job Title, About sections or Experiences but not on the attached photo - even an AI filter asking to scan the linkedin profile is not working - thanks for your help

    Currently, our search capabilities don't include scanning attached photos or full LinkedIn profile scans. However, we offer several ways to filter for freelancers: 1. Use the "Social Headline" filter to search for keywords like "Freelance" or "Independent" in LinkedIn headlines. 2. Try the "Experience Title" filter with terms like "Freelancer" or "Self-employed". 3. Use "Bio Keywords" to search for freelance-related terms in LinkedIn bios. 4. Combine filters like "Job Titles" and "Experience" to find people with freelance-related roles. If these options don't meet your needs, you might want to explore our "write to table" feature for more customized filtering.

    Hey there Yoann thanks for reaching out, to clarify here you are stating that row 177 should be filtered out from the current view correct?

    Hey LuisArturo, Row 177 is not applying our Freelance Status filter correctly. It should, as the candidate's LinkedIn profile contains the word "Freelance." However, the filter returns False when it should return True.

    Hey Yoann - For categorization tasks like this, I recommend using the Content Creation and Manipulation module. This will help you categorize much better and it won't go online. You're currently using the Web Research option which goes online and opens the door for more hallucinations. In your case, you already have the entire data inside the table, so the web research option isn't useful. Feel free to make the switch and that'll also be less costly and you'll be able to use the best model.

    We have tried this but it is not getting the correct results. In fact on the enrichement data of this contacts Clay didnt import the word "Freelance", only the company has been imported -> Technip Energies while we are looking for Technip Energies Β· Freelance. We will share a Loom video to explain more in details. The filter works fine for the profiles which have mentioned "freelance" in either title,headline or summary . But they dont work for the profiles which have freelance mentioned in the experience section in the employment type

    Thank you for precisizing. I'm curious if you've tried updating the prompt based on your findings.

    Since this option doesn't search the web, you can enhance results by adding examples. Edit the column, then go to the examples section and add an example. Simply choose a row to use as an example, which will improve the information quality.

    I highly suggest providing the exact context you just shared with me inside the system prompt. Explaining that you need to identify "freelance" mentions in the experience section's employment type will help it work better.

    Hey, very sorry for this. I can see better now what you're trying to show. These titles aren't being shown inside Clay, typically due to privacy restrictions. This isn't possible to access. If you want to get these exact titles, I'd recommend trying Apify Actor. It will act as a bridge on LinkedIn using your session cookies and will be able to retrieve this information. Alternatively, you could filter for "consultant" if you want to use Claygent which is close.

    Hey, thanks for your feedback. We will try this. It is a shame Clay doesnt support this. Is this something that could be develop in the future ?

    Actually, you can connect Apify with Clay through the enrichment panel. We are also working on a standalone. Everything should be up and running soon, but I don't have an exact timeline for when it will be completed.
