PROFESSIONAL PROFILE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep contact research accurate, purpose-limited, and respectful of people’s choices.

For an organization with a documented purpose and appropriate permission to review a contact list, look for possible public professional profiles and prepare matches for a person to verify. The source template searches across many social platforms, which can expose personal information beyond what a business needs. Limit review to relevant professional details, follow source and platform rules, never infer consent to outreach from a public profile, and require a researcher to verify identity and contact eligibility before any follow-up.

    Exclude sensitive personal information and platforms outside the approved scope.

  3. Prepare possible matches with source links

    Record where a profile was found and label uncertain identity matches clearly.

  4. Verify identity and information accuracy

    Have a person compare reliable details before associating a profile with a contact.

  5. Review contact eligibility separately

Keep in mind

Name-based matches can identify the wrong person, and a public profile does not mean its owner agreed to be profiled or contacted. Collect only necessary professional details, honor source terms and privacy choices, verify identity manually, and review contact eligibility separately.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document purpose, notice, and permission

Explain the research use and record the basis for reviewing each contact.

Set a narrow source and field scope

Limit collection to necessary professional details and permitted public sources.

Keep uncertain matches separate

Provide a correction path and do not merge a possible profile without human verification.

Separate profile review from outreach

Check contact permission and preferences independently before any message is considered.
