The Data score on LinkedIn people search APIs: Out of 100: the share of requested people the call returned who match the search on their own LinkedIn profile, with a current job at the company under the title searched. We asked for 10 people per search. A provider called on fewer searches is set against how the others did on those same searches, so an easier few don't lift it. A provider we called more than once on the same search is scored on all those calls, so no one run decides it.
