Using LinkedIn Profile Links for Accurate Company Verification

Is it possible to run a Claygent mission using LinkedIn profile links to verify leads? Specifically, I want to verify the current company each lead is working for, but I’m concerned about the accuracy when verifying based on company names alone—especially since I primarily work with Danish companies. Obtaining direct links to company profiles would be too costly, so would using LinkedIn profile links for users be sufficient for this type of company verification?

Hi Albert, thanks for reaching out. You can use Claygent to verify the current company each lead is working for, or you can also run the "Enrich Person from Profile" integration and create a formula column to verify their latest experience matches the company you are looking for. Using the Enrich Person from Profile integration is cheaper than Claygent, so I recommend this path to conserve credits. Feel free to try both options and let me know what works best for you!

Hi Tanvi. I'm not looking to enrich each lead's profile, to see which company they're working for. Rather, I want to see if the company they're working for fulfils the criteria I have, when verifying leads. Hope that makes sense.

Hey Albert! That makes perfect sense! I'd love to learn more about the criteria you're using to verify leads. From there, we can work backwards from those specific company data points and determine the most cost-effective way to gather and compare them with your criteria.

I use full name, as well as job title, company name and the LinkedIn URL for each specific lead
