For retained executive search firms, data quality isn’t just a backend concern—it directly impacts how fast and accurately you can execute every search. Outdated candidate and company records, missing details, and time-consuming database-wide clean-up will slow you down, frustrate your team and can jeopardize your client relationships and search.
That’s why Clockwork's suite of Data Enrichment features and tools are designed to automatically update and enrich your people, company, and project data in real-time so that you always are working off the most complete and accurate data for your searches.
1. Accelerate Time-To-Value For Clients With Person Enrichment
Clockwork's data enrichment tools for people and candidate records ensure the most accurate, verified and up-to-date candidate and person profiles within your Clockwork database. Eliminate manual updates and duplicative data entry to ensure every record is reliable the moment you need it to reach out to a candidate for a search.
Clockwork's Person enrichment enables you to update thousands of candidates in bulk, specific talent pools or projects, or individual candidates. Data enrichment works both on-demand or refreshes candidates automatically in the background by setting record staleness requirements. Person Enrichment profile data includes:
- LinkedIn URL and profile image
- Full Name
- Position and Work History
- Contact Data Where Available
- Summary Title
- Headline and Biography
- Country Location
- Education
2. Source and Deliver Talent Quicker With Company Data Enrichment
When it comes to executive search, executive recruiters typically prioritize updating candidate and people data for their outreach and data hygiene efforts. However, up-to-date company-level data is just as important if you are running a retained executive search process. Target Company Lists form the foundation of the sourcing strategy for a search, and if your company data is unreliable, then your Target Company List is relatively useless.
Clockwork's company enrichment leverages your existing company data to build a more complete, accurate and trustworthy company database with key data imports for:
- Company Name and Description
- Company Size, Type (Public or Private) and Founded Year
- Company Profile and Industry, Funding Details, Advisors and Imagery.
- Company Website URL
- Tagline, Universal Name ID
3. Reduce Data Entry With Project Enrichment
Most executive search firms require specific data points be entered when launching a new search project in order to track and report on searches and performance at the client-level.
Manual data entry is redundant, takes valuable time away from your team and results in human error, typos, incorrect data inputs and incomplete search profiles - which can compromise the quality of search reporting. Most of this data is already known to you and your team within existing company data and records and just needs to be mirrored at the project and search level.
With Clockwork's Project Enrichment, much of this data entry is automated where search projects and search profiles are auto-filled with complete, relevant and verified client-company data. This data is key for kicking off your search strategy effectively and assuring the search is set up for success from day one. Clockwork's Project Enrichment automatically fills in key demographic data points on your search including:
- Company Industry
- Sub Industry
- LinkedIn Industry
- Speciality
- Department
- Investor
- Seniority
- Size
- Revenue
Clockwork’s data enrichment features and capabilities remove one of the biggest operational burdens in executive search: maintaining clean and accurate data. Whether you’re onboarding a new client, refreshing candidate pipelines, or rediscovering past talent, accuracy and speed is essential for remaining competitive in this industry.
