USING THE APIS

How does it work?

Our Job Title and Skill Enrichment APIs are built to take recruiting and hiring to the next level.

Input a single job title or skill

The APIs include normalization functionality to transform the input into its cleaned value from the People Data Labs database.

Receive enriched metadata

The cleaned value is mapped to a database with additional meta-information about that job title or skill.

Input results into the Person Search API

Use the results to enhance search queries with highly relevant job and skill inputs.
