You can now research 800 million professional profiles, refreshed weekly, with Seltz. Each profile contains publicly available career history, location, projects, organized into documents your agent can retrieve.
People scope is available for all endpoints in preview. Now, requests to these endpoints can specify people as a scope and receive answers grounded in professional profile data.
Like our news and wikipedia scopes, you can use Seltz Search to retrieve readable, full-text results from our people scope that are ready to use as inputs for an LLM. You can also use Seltz Answers to retrieve responses from an LLM that are grounded in readable citations from up-to-date professional profiles.
How it works
You can fine-tune Seltz Search or Answers to use the People scope:
Set the scope for your request to people.
Choose whether to return citation URLs or full-text documents.

}The following Python snippet makes a request against the Seltz Answer endpoint using the people domain and prints out the answer along with the URL for each citation.

for citation in response.citations:
print(citation.url)This request is about a specific individual's career history rather than general subject knowledge or a recent news event, so we set the scope to people.

}Use cases for the People scope
Recruiting and sourcing: use the Seltz People scope to enrich candidate profiles with accurate, up-to-date career history, such as the candidate’s current role, past employers, education, and skills, with citations rendered in-line so that recruiters can verify a claim without leaving the conversation.
Sales and CRM: set the scope of their Answer request to people to ground outreach and account research in accurate role, tenure, and background information for a prospect, rather than relying on a model's potentially outdated training data.
