How do I access headcount by department traction metrics?
Traction metrics by department are currently available for ~90k companies via the API.
An example GraphQL response is available at the bottom of this page.
Note: Corrected Headcount does not impact Department Headcount because they are calculated independently.
How can I see a person’s department?
All person responses now have departments classified (e.g. a department field derived from their job title), and all company responses have a headcount_{department} key that lives within traction_metrics.
This information can be used to view growth by department via headcount_{department}.metrics. Essentially, each traction_metric has a metrics field that exposes time-series data.
For users familiar with our snapshots, this is the same data in an easier-to-access location. No changes have been made to how snapshots are populated.
Why do only some companies get this metric?
A company will receive traction metrics by department if it > 8 people and we have thorough coverage (details below) of the people who work at the company.
If current headcount is 0 or null or less than 8, the company is too small and we will not add traction metrics by department.
If current headcount is between 8 and 30, only include traction metrics if our overall average person record coverage percent is at least 75%
If current headcount is between 31 and 100, only include traction metrics if our overall average person record coverage percent is at least 60%
If current headcount is between 101 and 200, only include traction metrics if our overall average person record coverage percent is at least 50%
If current headcount is above 200, only include traction metrics if our overall average person record coverage percent is at least 40%
