What does company_people_search return, and when should you call it?
Search for people by name and return matching professional profiles.
Both name parts are required upstream. Expect several matches for common names: this returns candidates, and choosing between them is the caller's job. Follow up with wuthering_company_person on a returned URL for the full record.
Returns: matching profiles with name, position, current company, and profile URL.
Use to turn a name into a profile URL. Don't use to list everyone at a company; it searches people, not rosters.
