Neil Chapman, CEO of Exabel commented: "We are thrilled to be partnering with LinkUp on this new insights platform.

We are proud to be working with the best in class in this vital section of the alternative data market.

"We are looking forward to working with LinkUp to create actionable insights on its data. Dashboards, intelligent screening KPI prediction models and company drill down tools are among the many features our easy-to-use SaaS platform can deliver."

Exabel has helped us make the potential of LinkUp's data more apparent and improved the value proposition by shrinking deployment times. We think users are going to love being able to dive into the data immediately with a powerful toolset that gives them a new vantage point on forward-looking corporate hiring plans''.
