Primary source is micro communities we have partnered with where we have data and explicit consent required from candidates to perform the search, this is the most reliable source. Secondary source is public profiles available all over the internet, this source is currently experimental.
About algorithm
It is one thing to put together an approach which humans can follow and it's another thing to get computer to do it effectively on scale. We have put together our years of computer science research to create Altmen algorithm which gets the best results without sacrficing creativity, learning along the way and making it an unbiased effective solution.
