Object Group YTS Data Matching

Do you have another data source that you want to match to the records in the YTS data? Discover jobs, industry codes, HQ relationships, public company info and more.


Exact Data Matching


Exact data matching matches two fields from separate records – character by character. It is often termed as deterministic linkage since you get one of the two determined results: either the records are a match or they are not.


For YTS data, this approach works well (typically up to 80% match rate) when you have the following uniquely identifiable fields in your dataset:

Organization Name        ZipCode    Address    State

Question Answer Inquire

We have a scripting process that removes extraneous text/characters from any data submitted to increase the number of exact matches.
