Turn job postings at your accounts into deal moves.
“What are my accounts hiring for, and does any of it change how I work the deal?”
Watches job postings at the accounts already in your pipeline and customer book, and reads each one as a deal signal. Every read ties to a named deal and ends in one dated move, not a cold sequence.
What this skill does
Watches job postings at the accounts already in your pipeline and customer book, and reads each one as a deal signal. A posting can mean the timing just got better, a new stakeholder is about to arrive, the decision dynamics are about to shift, or the budget is about to disappear. This skill makes the read, ties it to the specific deal or renewal it affects, and names one dated move on that deal. It is not a prospecting tool. If the account is not already in play, it is out of scope. Where trigger-outreach takes any buying signal and writes a timely cold-ish touch for new accounts, this skill is scoped to accounts already in play and its output is a deal move, not an outreach sequence.
Inputs
- Works today with: your open-opp and renewal account list, plus a manual careers-page check on the top 10. Paste the postings you find.
- More powerful connected to an enrichment tool with job-postings data (Clay, Common Room): postings arrive on their own, across the whole book.
- Sharper with a CRM: deal stage, close date, and renewal date attach to each read automatically.
How it works
- 1Read 1: They are hiring for the problem you solve
A posting that describes the pain your product removes is a timing signal. Someone got budget to fix the problem, and headcount is the expensive way to fix it. The move belongs on the live deal: raise the posting's problem statement in your next call and position against the cost of the hire, not against a competitor.
- 2Read 2: They are hiring the role that would own your product
A posting for the title that would run your tool means a new stakeholder is entering the deal. Get there first. If the deal closes before they start, you want the incumbent tool to be yours. The move: ask your contact who is hiring for it and what the new owner will walk into, and get your product into the onboarding conversation.
- 3Read 3: A leadership change posting
A VP or C-level posting at an in-play account means the decision dynamics are about to shift. Your current buyer may lose authority, your deal may get re-litigated, your renewal may get re-evaluated by someone with no history with you. The move: pressure-test the deal's approval path now, before the new leader lands, and get the business case in writing.
- 4Read 4: A hiring freeze or posting takedown
Postings that vanish, or a public freeze, are budget risk on the deal. If they stopped hiring for the problem, they may stop buying for it too. The move: qualify the budget directly this week, and if it is a renewal, move the value conversation up before the cut list gets written.

Tips
- A posting is a hypothesis, not a fact. Verify before you act on it. Postings go stale, get reposted by agencies, and sit open for roles already filled.
- Never quote a posting back to a prospect verbatim in a way that reads as surveillance. Reference the problem, not the paragraph.
- Tie every read to a named deal or renewal, or it does not count. A signal with no deal attached is trivia.
- One move per read, with a date on it. A read that ends in "monitor" is not a read.
Never miss a contact's job change again.
