How to test it
Test people data feed on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do AI candidate sourcing use the people data feed?
⌄
Index global profiles so recruiters can type 'Java developers in Oslo who sold B2B software' and get non-obvious fits. A licensed file of 800M+ professional profiles, refreshed on a schedule and delivered to Snowflake or S3. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
How much does the people data feed cost for AI candidate sourcing?
⌄
People data feed is a flat annual licence, global or regional, not priced in credits. The price depends on the records, fields and refresh schedule you license, so talk to sales with your use case and we quote it.
Why do AI candidate sourcing add the people data feed?
⌄
Show personal email and mobile on every candidate card. Products like yours are judged on candidate replies, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what the people data feed returns for your users before you build on it.
What data do AI recruiting search engines like natural-language sourcing tools use?
⌄
You send people feed and company feed. You get back searchable candidate index, semantic match and company tags. Recruiters surface niche, non-applicant profiles and cut sourcing time.
Can our users see Forager data in our product?
⌄
Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager data to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.
Can AI candidate sourcing see a sample of the people data feed before licensing it?
⌄
Yes. Request a sample extract of the people data feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.
What is an AI sourcing agent and what data does it need?
⌄
You send open requisitions and feed deltas. You get back new candidate matches, match reasons and sequence status. Pipelines fill continuously instead of per search.
How do I know the data is right?
⌄
The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.
Should I use the people data feed or the API?
⌄
Use the API when your product needs one person at a time, at the moment a user asks. License the people data feed when you need the whole layer in your own warehouse or search index, for analytics, matching or retrieval, without a call per record.
Where can the people data feed be delivered?
⌄
Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
⌄
Data feeds are licensed on an annual agreement, with the term, volume and refresh schedule written into it. There are no self-serve plans for feeds.
How is the data sourced, and what about privacy?
⌄
AI candidate sourcing often have to explain their data source to their own customers. Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover people data feed for AI candidate sourcing. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
