Key takeaways
- Enrichment improves context; it does not replace candidate confirmation.
- Collect only job-relevant data from lawful, documented sources.
- Cross-check important claims instead of trusting a single profile.
- Use freshness, provenance, and confidence indicators during review.
How to apply candidate enrichment
- Step 1. Start with a candidate identifier or partial professional profile.
- Step 2. Resolve identity and collect relevant public or permissioned signals.
- Step 3. Cross-check work history, contact details, skills, and profile consistency.
- Step 4. Present the enriched record with provenance for recruiter review.
