From December 1st, Beamery will no longer offer third-party data enrichment. We are working on a series of innovations to provide greater control and privacy for candidates, as well as more reliable data-led experiences for users. Read more about the changes here, or reach out to your CSM for more information.
How does enrichment work?
It is important to note that enrichment does not overwrite existing information. New information is always added as additional data to the profiles.
If a user updates existing information such as a phone number in a profile, then the number is added as a new number rather than overwriting an existing number.
Users can see when the profile was last enriched by viewing the candidate's profile (legacy).
And by viewing the candidate's new Smart Profile.
The two types of Enrichment
Automatic Enrichment
The enrichment action was triggered automatically by the addition of a contact with an email address (manually or via CSV upload), the addition of a new email address to an existing profile, or when a contact is created via Beamery Extension where the social link is used to fetch enrichment data.
A profile without an email address will only enrich if it was created via the Extension.
Manual Re-Enrichment
(old profile view)
(new profile view)
This type if enrichment would trigger the Enrichment Engine to look for new data, but only if the last enrichment date was more than 30 days ago.
Enrichment and GDPR Compliance
How does Beamery's Enrichment tool manage GDPR compliance? Beamery Enrichment pulls from data sources consisting of publicly available data and other public records. As public records, the data Beamery uses to enrich profiles is compliant with GDPR.
Disabling Enrichment
On individual profiles
A user can disable enrichment for individual contacts if they so choose. This may be needed for the customer’s own process reasons or if candidates have inaccurate information on their social network profiles. When this is done, the enrichment button will be hidden from the profile.
