Empowering a Healthcare Candidate Outreach Software with the Right Data Providers

Overview

Our client, a candidate outreach and Lead Gen platform for healthcare staffing agencies in the US, is dedicated to revolutionizing how healthcare organizations source and engage talent. As an international startup, they were looking for a comprehensive global candidate database to empower their product.

By leveraging our expertise, DataVertex guided the client through a side-by-side evaluation of two best-fit data partners, ensuring the solution aligned with their unique requirements.

Highlights

• Helped the client secure access to a global talent database of 800M candidates.

• Facilitated smooth communication between the client and data partner, overcoming geographical barriers.

• Delivered advisory services for product strategy, market research, and long-term data partnership planning.

• Supported scalability with subsequent recommendations for healthcare-specific data providers, enabling industry leading product features for healthcare recruiters.

• Conducted side-by-side comparisons of candidate data quality from two top providers.

Challenge

The client needed a comprehensive global candidate database to power their platform for healthcare staffing agencies. However, they faced several challenges in identifying the right data partner. Despite evaluating multiple providers, none met their expectations for data quality, field coverage, or alignment with their use cases. They required a robust side-by-side comparison to ensure the selected partner could deliver superior results.

Additionally, as an international company, the client encountered difficulties in building trust and clear communication with US-based data providers. Aligning expectations on data delivery methods, quality, and long-term support was critical for their success.

Finally, as an early-stage startup, the client sought cost-effective solutions that would allow them to demonstrate initial success without overextending their budget. They also needed strategic advisory support to refine their product roadmap and scale their platform effectively, particularly in the healthcare niche.

Solution

DataVertex helped the client evaluate and onboard the right data partner by:

Side-by-Side Data Provider Testing:

• We shortlisted two best-fit global data providers from our network.

• Randomized data samples were sent to both providers for candidate profile matching.

• We conducted a detailed comparison of the results, analyzing data quality, field coverage, and alignment with the client’s use cases.

• One data partner outperformed the other, offering superior coverage and relevance for the client’s needs.

Facilitating Trust and Communication:

• Given the client’s international headquarters, we worked closely with both parties to build trust and ensure clear communication.

• This included aligning expectations on delivery methods, data quality, and long-term support.

• We also negotiated a discounted subscription price with the data provider, helping the client remain cost-efficient.

Advisory Services:

• We provided ongoing advisory support for market research, healthcare recruitment trends, and product strategy development.

• Our guidance helped the client define their roadmap for scaling their software and building long-term data partnerships.

Scaling and Additional Recommendations:

• As the company scaled, the client returned for additional data recommendations specific to healthcare.

• We introduced two new data providers offering 10M+ National Provider Identifier (NPI) data, license info, licensed states, and contact information to support their growth.

Results

• Global Talent Database: The client onboarded an 800M global candidate database, empowering their platform with comprehensive data.

• Successful Product Launch: With the database in place, the client launched their product and acquired beta customers within two months.

• Cost Efficiency: Our negotiation efforts secured a discounted subscription price, aligning with the client’s budget.

• Scalable Growth Support: By recommending healthcare-specific data providers, we enabled the client to expand their use cases and drive additional value for their customers.
