What Happens When You Edit an Enriched Company Field

How manual edits affect auto-enrichment for each Company Intelligence field — per-field behavior, exact warning messages, and what you can't edit.

Written by Adarsh N

Company Intelligence fields update automatically. When you edit one, you're telling Recruiterflow to use your value instead — and in most cases, that field stops auto-updating from that point on.

The exact behavior depends on which field you edit. Here's what changes for each one.

Field-by-field behavior

Industries

  • What changes: Your value is saved for this company in your account only. Auto-enrichment for Industries on this company turns off.

  • Warning shown: "Editing this field turns off auto-enrichment for the field."

  • Other accounts: Unaffected. This change is account-specific.

Employee Headcount

  • What changes: Your value is saved. Auto-enrichment for Headcount turns off. Headcount Growth % is set to null because it can no longer be calculated automatically.

  • Warning shown: "Editing this field turns off auto-enrichment for the field."

  • Other accounts: Unaffected.

Annual Revenue (approx)

  • What changes: Your value is saved for this company in your account. Auto-enrichment for Annual Revenue turns off.

  • Warning shown: "Editing this field turns off auto-enrichment for the field."

  • Other accounts: Unaffected.

Website

  • What changes: The new website URL is saved. Auto-enrichment for the Website field turns off for this company.

  • Warning shown: "Editing this field turns off auto-enrichment for the field."

LinkedIn Profile

  • What changes: Updating the LinkedIn URL triggers a full re-enrichment of the company across all accounts. All manually-edited fields keep their values — only the enrichment data refreshes.

  • Warning shown: "Editing LinkedIn will re-enrich the company."

  • Note: This is the only field where editing triggers more enrichment, not less. Use it intentionally if you need to refresh all enriched data.

Fields you can't edit

These fields are enriched automatically and are read-only:

  • Company Stage

  • Total Funding

  • Investors

  • Last Funding (amount and date)

  • Glassdoor Rating

To correct data in these fields, contact Recruiterflow support. If the underlying source data is wrong, the correction needs to happen at the source (typically Crunchbase).

How to tell if a field has stopped auto-enriching

There's no explicit indicator in the UI yet. Treat any manually-entered value as permanently manual unless you update the LinkedIn URL to trigger a full re-enrichment run.
