What data does the Extension input into Beamery?

The Beamery Extension is designed as a productivity extension to sit on top of any HR system and relevant talent websites to improve recruiter productivity and help protect compliance and talent experiences (e.g., by highlighting that a contact already exists in the system, whether the individual is ok to contact, and whether there are any other recruiters speaking with a candidate). When creating new records, the extension only fetches profile data that is publicly available and does no background scraping of private data. Furthermore, data added to Beamery via the extension will only remain stored in a client’s account if the candidate has provided the appropriate consent and the data collected adheres with the client’s compliance and data retention policies. For data sourced from our partners at Linkedin, we also adhere to Linkedin’s terms of use. 

How does the Beamery Extension work?

The Beamery Extension is a powerful sourcing tool that allows you to add new candidates to your CRM and make updates to existing candidate profiles directly from web pages and social media profiles. Incorporating the Beamery Extension into your candidate sourcing process allows you to quickly and easily add a candidate’s contact information, education, experience, resume, and more to Beamery as soon as you find it -  without ever leaving their social profile. Using the Beamery Extension automates the manual contact creation process and can save you a lot of time.  When using the Beamery Extension, you can add candidates to Pools, apply Global Tags, and add them to Campaigns right from the Extension. This means you can begin nurturing relationships with candidates as soon as you find their profiles.  The Beamery Extension automates only the kinds of actions recruiters and sourcers might otherwise make manually (i.e. no ‘background or invisible actions or data scraping). Copying (or scraping) data from public websites is a legal practice but at Beamery we are careful to do so in a way that also adheres to our partner terms of service, including those of our partners at LinkedIn.

What happens if I use the Extension outside of a known social site?

The most important consequence of using the Extension on an unknown social site is the potential for creating duplicate contacts in your database. You will also run the risk of not being able to load existing contacts' profiles on those unknown sites. Always check for an existing profile in your Beamery database before using the extension on an unknown social site.

Can I use the Extension in Indeed?

Yes, any social site where you can download a candidate's CV and import it to the extension will parse and the date and work as expected. However Indeed is not a known social site so the same process and precautions apply as outlined above. 

Does Beamery log all my InMail?

No. Beamery does not log InMails. Extension users are able to manually copy a record of their conversations into the contact profile to keep their records up-to-date, but no auto-logging occurs.
