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 role mapping and 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:

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. This can be accessed ony by Bain consulting teams

Aura is free to explore and try out for all Bain consulting teams.

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.

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 uses an algorithmic approach in mapping employees’ raw job titles to its standard role taxonomy. You can find all details on the three roles level taxonomy HERE.

The standard role mappings can be fully customized to your needs.

Using ClassifAI (Bain tool, search on Compass), you can now instantaneously classify a file of job titles into the classification of your choosing, and never have to go through this process manually again! Simply upload your list of job titles (from Aura) into ClassifAI’s classification module and you will have a newly classified list of job titles automatically.

Using Diligence you can quickly create high-fidelity talent insights at company level. At this stage we don’t provide industry level analysis in the self-service Diligence module. Please reach out to us at Aura@Bain.com and provide as much details as possible on what your ask is, we might be able to help with custom analytics pull.

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.

Here a few points to understand the difference between the Aura RAVE and the Aura full solution:
