How to choose a reliable talent data provider: key factors to consider
Usually, talent data quality is evaluated based on features such as accuracy, completeness, uniformity, and freshness. In practice, we’ve found that there are several other factors to consider when assessing the reliability of a data vendor:
Talent data quality and freshness
The number of data records and location represent the talent data provider's technical capacity, but data freshness is just as important as coverage. If the data provider keeps the data fresh at all times, it also reflects how reliable the provider is. Reputable providers make this transparency clear by showing the most recent update timestamp for each record.
Prompt and transparent communication
Access to detailed information on data quality, fill rates, schema consistency, and the features outlined above before committing to a data solution is a strong signal of vendor transparency and trustworthiness. At Coresignal, we provide information on all these metrics to our potential clients, and we guarantee stable data delivery and a consistent data structure.
Secure and responsible data collection
Experienced data providers follow strict standards for ethically collecting public web data and place a strong emphasis on data security. Before choosing a vendor, it’s essential to review how openly they communicate their data privacy and compliance practices, as this transparency is key to making a well-informed decision.
Test first
Finally, it’s essential to validate that the data you receive aligns with your specific business requirements and use cases. We encourage you to share the criteria you use to assess data quality, and we’re ready to support your evaluation by providing the tools, samples, or access needed to test our datasets and data solutions effectively.
