Signals and data

Job change signal

Definition

A job change signal fires when a relevant person starts a new role: a new buyer at a target account, or a past champion at a new company.

Job change signal in practice

Job changes are among the most reliable signals because they are public, timestamped and tied to a person rather than a company. A new leader usually reviews tools and vendors early. A former user of your product who moves companies already knows what you do, which makes the first conversation far easier.

Detection usually means watching LinkedIn profile data on a schedule, either through an enrichment provider or a scraper. The hard part is not finding the change. It is matching the person back to your CRM so you know they were a champion before.
