Where does SeekOut's industry data come from?
Industry information in SeekOut is self-reported by the candidate, typically based on how they view their role or organization.
While many candidates align their industry with their employer’s sector, others choose an industry that better reflects their job function.
Example: Candidates working at Twitter often list their industry as Computer & Internet, which aligns with the company’s core business. However, others may select Advertising & Marketing, Media & Broadcasting, or other industries that reflect their specific responsibilities.
This variation is normal and helps provide a more nuanced view of each candidate’s professional background.
