The Aura team can help pull custom datasets of more granularity for cuts that might not be available on the dashboards. We are also happy to jump on calls with Bain case teams for help with processing the data.

Please contact the Aura team for custom data pulls & support: aura@bain.com

If case teams require support with slide creation, we recommend accessing Aura through BCN. Aura usage through BCN includes 1 free day of BCN support.

Alternatively, teams can also download Aura-powered 1-click reports from RAVE: https://rave.bain.dev/

Aura is available in a variety of ways:

Aura’s online platform is where you can access all the workforce data in one place with dynamic dashboards and easy csv download for your own top-down or bottom-up analyses

Aura’s insight reports are generated by the Aura team using our data on current hot topics (such as remote working trends, AI impact in industries) and delivered to your inbox monthly

RAVE is Bain’s 1-click report generator where you can download a short loop on workforce insights for companies of your choice in a matter of seconds.

Aura is free to explore and try out for all Bainies.

Using insights or data in final work (both client or internal) will incur a charge of:

Lower-cost options are available if teams are using 1 specific module in Databox, Job Postings, or Sourcing modules.

Aura is also available through RAVE 1-click reports at $2.5K per project.

We charge $0.75 per profile for up to 5K profiles or a flat $5K fee for any number of profiles up to 100K profiles.

We charge 2-3K per project depending on the complexity of the data. Please reach out to the Aura team inquire: aura@bain.com

We offer custom pricing on usage of the Sourcing module only. Please reach out to the Aura team inquire: aura@bain.com

Please first check if you grouped them under one company on the page where you added companies. If you dragged and dropped them into the same group, they are treated as one company. This is a feature we have to ensure companies with subsidiaries are treated as one company, but sometimes separate companies get dropped in the same group by accident.

You can see a tutorial on how to add companies in the Diligence module here

If you still only see one company after fixing that, please reach out to us at aura@bain.com.

A quick check you can do is to search for companies on the Aura platform using different combinations of the company name, such as:

Aura Databox has a monthly update cycle i.e., the data on the platform gets updated by our vendors every month. As a result, recent shifts / movements in the company may not be immediately reflected in Aura Databox search results.

Additionally, we often see that people forget to update their LinkedIn profiles regularly, which often leads to a fallacy of showing that one person has multiple active jobs. We have chosen to include people who have active roles in a particular company despite having more recent active roles in a different company in our search results in order to remain as comprehensive as possible in generating the list of profiles.

!Make sure you’re adding all the relevant subsidiaries!

There may be several reasons why there is a difference in the number of profiles outlined on LinkedIn vs. Aura

While coverage in other areas may be lower/ not fully comprehensive, it is certainly still usable and relevant to get a good sense of the company.

We use the industries tagged in LinkedIn’s self-reported sections on their company pages.

This is an issue with Excel’s Text to Columns conversion format. To circumvent this, you need to open a blank Excel worksheet and import the CSV.

On a new blank CSV, in the Excel ribbon, Go to Data > From Text / CSV > Select the CSV file you have downloaded from Aura Databox > Click Load in the new window that opens. This should load all the data in the appropriate columns.

We understand that getting to the right dataset takes some hit and trial effort and hence may require multiple downloads. We will only charge you for the unique profiles that you download and use from Aura’s Databox.

We kindly ask you to refrain from downloading large csv files while you are testing. Please utilize more of our filters to narrow down your search. If you have any specific needs (e.g., tracking companies with large numbers of employees), please reach out to us at aura@bain.com.
