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.

Hiring Wave listeners — a set of active saved job searches (SDR & RevOps, Series B AEs, Enterprise AE expansion, RevOps leaders, demand gen) each tracking a target job-title keyword.

Listener fields:

FieldWhat it does
KeywordsJob-title and posting keywords to match (chips)
Location / windowGeographic scope and how far back to look
Contacts per companyHow many decision-makers to pull per matched company
Title / seniority / departmentNarrow which roles count as a match

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

Sub-tabShows
JobsThe matching job postings
CompaniesCompanies posting those jobs (your ICP, actively hiring)
Decision-makersResolved contacts at those companies
RecruitersThe recruiting contacts behind the postings

Talent Moves

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

SourceWhat it watches
Contact listA 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.
