Hiring Signals

Hiring Signals watches the labor market for you. You create saved listeners that fire when something relevant happens, in two flavors:

• Hiring Wave - companies posting jobs that match your keywords and filters. A company hiring for roles tied to your ICP is signaling budget, growth, and a new initiative.
• Talent Moves - people changing jobs. Watch a contact list, or name a competitor and get alerted whenever someone joins or leaves them.

Matches surface as signals on the contact and in your Signals feed, and can auto-enroll the contact into a campaign audience.

Where to find it

Open Signals -> Hiring. The page route is /signals/hiring. It mirrors the Social Listener layout:

• Two type tabs: Hiring Wave and Talent Moves
• A Listeners ↔ Results toggle
• A “New Hiring Wave” / “New Talent Move” button for the active type

Hiring Wave

A Hiring Wave listener is a saved job search. graph8 re-runs it on a daily cadence and surfaces matching companies.

Listener fields:

Field	What it does
Keywords	Job-title and posting keywords to match (chips)
Location / window	Geographic scope and how far back to look
Contacts per company	How many decision-makers to pull per matched company
Title / seniority / department	Narrow which roles count as a match

Results view opens a live grid with four sub-tabs:

Sub-tab	Shows
Jobs	The matching job postings
Companies	Companies posting those jobs (your ICP, actively hiring)
Decision-makers	Resolved contacts at those companies
Recruiters	The recruiting contacts behind the postings

Talent Moves

A Talent Moves listener detects job changes. Pick one of two watchlist sources:

Source	What it watches
Contact list	A graph8 list or audience - alerts when anyone in it changes jobs
Company (competitor)	A named company - scans the global job-change feed and fires on both joins and leaves, no pre-built list needed

Both sources accept role filters: title contains, seniority floor, department, minimum days in the previous role, and an employer allow/blocklist. Seniority and department are matched against the new job title, so phrase filters as title keywords.

Detected moves appear on the contact’s Hiring tab in the contact drawer (with a job-change badge) and in your Signals feed. Talent Moves are resolved on an hourly cadence.

Your first listeners (auto-seed)

If you have no listeners yet, the page shows a first-run hero with an Auto-seed option:

• Hiring Wave listeners are proposed from your Studio docs (personas / ICP)
• Talent Moves listeners are proposed from your existing contact lists

The onboarding modal lists the proposed listeners with checkboxes - pick the ones you want and create them in one click. You can also create listeners manually.

Auto-enroll into campaigns

Each listener can optionally sync matches into a campaign audience. When auto-sync is enabled, a matched contact is upserted into the chosen audience, which triggers your existing sequence-enrollment flow. Turn this on from the listener’s edit form.

How signals flow downstream

1. The resolver emits a job_change (Talent Moves) or hiring (Hiring Wave) signal.
2. The signal appears on the contact’s Hiring tab and in the Signals feed.
3. If auto-sync is on, the contact is added to the target audience and enrolled in the linked sequence.
