USE CASE:

HR tech companies and the identity resolution problem

The job on this page is identity resolution for HR tech companies, with the options first, ours included, and the recommendation at the end. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Company Identity Resolver is something you run yourself against your own list of HR tech companies.

Where this starts

Identity resolution for HR tech companies is where the assumptions get expensive. Any identity resolution method has to survive this: HR tech companies sell to a function that buys rarely and renews forever. On HR tech companies, identity resolution rarely catches this: the buyer title moves between HR and People with company size, so a title filter cuts the wrong half. If you would rather try it than read about it, Company Identity Resolver does identity resolution for HR tech companies today.

Why it matters

Deduplicating HR tech companies by name fails because the names differ, and by domain fails because a third of them carry no domain.

Traditional Search Tools

  • An ATS job board, for HR tech companies. Free, public, and it tells you what the People team is actually being asked to do.
  • Your CRM's merge suggestions. Salesforce and HubSpot both offer them. They are conservative by design, so they catch exact matches and miss the interesting cases.
  • Dedupely, Insycle or a dedupe tool. Built for exactly this and worth the money if the mess lives entirely inside one CRM. Less useful when the duplicates arrive from four different sources.
  • A resolution key of your own. Pick one identifier, usually the primary domain, and make every source write it. The cheapest long term fix and the one nobody wants to do.
  • Sort and read. Sort by name, read the list, merge what you recognize. It is tedious and a person is genuinely good at it, up to a few thousand rows.
