Hiring

Description

Hiring signal tracking for B2B outbound. Use when the user asks about hiring signals, job posting intent, new roles, missing roles, leaving employees, skills-targeting, role-targeting, headcount growth, or team expansion signals. Do NOT use for individual job changes (use job-changes skill) or general company events (use company-events skill).

What this skill does

1. 1Identifies 5 hiring signal types: new team members, leaving employees, missing roles, skills-targeting, and role-targeting via uncommon titles.
2. 2Scores hiring signals at 40 points with a 24-hour act window, stacking with funding for 85-point Warm compound signals.
3. 3Detects signals via job board scraping, LinkedIn profile skills extraction in Clay, and headcount growth monitoring.
4. 4Provides ready-to-use outreach templates for each hiring signal type that reference the growth context, not the job posting.
5. 5Executes a missing role play: filter ICP companies with no relevant title in LinkedIn, position your product as the function they are missing.

When to use

• You sell to sales teams and want to reach VP Sales at companies actively hiring SDRs.
• You offer an automation product and want to target companies that lack a dedicated RevOps person.
• A key contact recently left a target account and you want to reach out about the coverage gap.
• You want to build a skills-based targeting list more precise than title filters in Sales Navigator.
