PROFESSIONAL PROFILE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Keep profile research transparent, limited, and respectful of people’s choices.

For a permitted research purpose, organize details from professional profiles that the requester is authorized to consult, using a defined set of profile addresses and a restricted review sheet. Confirm the source platform’s rules and applicable law, honor consent and privacy expectations, avoid sensitive inferences, minimize retained details, and require a researcher to verify accuracy before any recruiting, sales, or business decision.
