This month, we updated 303,449,264 contact records while increasing the number of professional email addresses, personal email addresses, and mobile numbers overall. November’s file provides over one million new mobile phones and over five million new professional email addresses compared to the October file. Our efforts to diversify employment sources helped increase the number of contacts assigned an employer with a company RUID by 6,769,405 this month.

The number of contacts that were assigned a contact_job_start_dategrew by 5.8 million in November allowing us to introduce a new a refinement to the contact_job_start_date / contact_job_end_date assignment within our global contact universe. This month, we added the field status of “unknown” for contact_job_end_date within the contact_experiences array. This impacts 26.64 million records that had a contact_job_title or company_hq_name assignment in a previous file delivery, but that information is now in contact_experiences because the contact_job_end_date is unknown. These are records where the public sources for employment are no longer available so we moved it to contact_experiences.
We are very happy we can deliver verified, and accurate employment data as social media providers make greater efforts to mask employment. As an example, we added 1,615,096 websites to our company data set and successfully scanned 36,394,182 domains in November. Each month we add more pages on the website to scan for contact, company, and technology details. Part of the scan process is a DNS look up to identify the IP Address hosting the website. This data, along with the Email Open IP Score are available via API to help clients with identity resolution needs for Advertising.
And as we always say this time of year - If you have any year-end budget and special projects - think of RampedUp. Use it our Lose it blog post, 2022.
