Finding People with Specific Job Titles and Native-level English in a Specific City

Hey friends! Use case: finding people with a specific job title, in a specific city, with native level English. It seems like there is a big data gap. Example: Person A shows on their Li profile that they speak EN, native. But clay doesn't bring that information into the table. Out of 50 rows, it only shows language for 3 rows, proficiency only for 2 ... and for some reason only 1 language is displayed. I have a list of +1000 rows but it doesn't make sense to enrich all of them if such a low % comes back with data. Any suggestions?

Hey Zaid M. thanks for flagging - the language data not being aligned with what you see on the live profile is likely because our LinkedIn integrations don't use your active session or cookies to find data on LinkedIn. The tradeoff is that it could miss some information here and there, especially if there are privacy restrictions in their profiles, meaning that you need to be logged into an account to see all the data, that could be a limitation set by LinkedIn or the person themselves. As for only 1 language being displayed on some of the profiles - perhaps it is because of the one I looked at in your table (Alfred), but I do see 2 languages

running into the same problem here - the linkedin profiles aren't visible to the public and so it's not finindg any results

another option (although it risks your linkedin account) is to use phantom buster to find the language from their profile and return that into your clay table

thanks for looking into this. I'd imagine scraping data from profiles that aren't visible to the public, is a common use case. Anything planned on Clay side to enable this in the foreseeable future?

Hey Zaid! Yes, the team is continuously looking for options to increase coverage, so hopefully, we'll get some of them added in the coming updates. There are plans for this!
