Buying signals
Reach out when the company is ready
A company that hires ten engineers, raises a round or wins a public contract needs new tools now. Our monitors watch these signals every day and tell you who is new.

The task
Why it matters
Timing is half of a good sales email. The same message works much better the week a company starts to grow. But nobody can check hundreds of career pages and filings every day.
Our monitors can. They check job boards, funding filings, startup lists and public tenders on a schedule. Each run shows only what is new since the last run.
By hand
- Check career pages one by one
- Hear about a funding round weeks later
- Miss public tenders in your field
- Send the same email to everyone
With our Actors
- New job posts from 15+ hiring systems in one feed
- New Form D filings every morning
- New tenders and federal awards by keyword
- Write to companies that just started to grow

Questions
What is a buying signal?
An event that shows a company may need to buy soon. For example: new hires in one team, a funding round, a new office or a won contract.
How do the monitors know what is new?
Each monitor saves what it saw in the last run. The next run compares and marks items as new, changed or removed.
Which hiring systems do you cover?
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Personio and many more. See Jobs and hiring.
Can I get the alerts in Slack?
Yes. Connect the run to Slack with Make, Zapier or n8n. Apify can also call a webhook after each run.
