Inaccurate Employee Count Data in Ocean.io Search Results

·Nov 25, 2024 05:45 PM·

Ocean.io - when it returns companies, it's not always following my ideal company size. Weirdly enough it has multiple columns for "Employee count" that have different answers. All companies in this list came from a search of 11-50, but you'll see some here have 100s of employees, some have just a few people. Why is that? Is Ocean not accurate with this

The employee count data may show different results across columns due to limitations from our data providers and LinkedIn's privacy restrictions. Since our data providers don't use active sessions or cookies to scrape LinkedIn data live, some fields that are only visible when logged in may not be accessible, leading to variations in the reported numbers.
