What are new hire signals?

New hire signals allow for tracking of new hires at target companies within the last three months. You’re able to set filters on who to monitor at these accounts.

Why monitor new hire signals?

New hire signals matter because key purchasing decisions often occur within the first 90 days of a new hire’s role, leading to a higher chance of conversion. Engaging later means many of these decisions may already be made. Additionally, new hires can signal positive changes like budget expansion within a department.

How does this work?

With the New Hires signal, users will be able to specify a list of companies to monitor, and receive events in their table when people matching their filters are hired at those companies within the last 3 months. Setting up new hire signal workflow involves configuring three key components:

Step 1: Company table

Create a table in Clay with the LinkedIn profiles of the companies you want to track.

Step 2: People search filters

Define the filters for the people you’re interested in tracking within your target companies. These filters can include job title, experience, bio, location, profile, and education.

Step 3: Custom Workflow Triggers

Automate actions based on new hire signals. Examples include:

• Slack notifications: Set up alerts to receive new hire updates in Slack.
• Trigger-based emails: Trigger email campaigns for contacts that have recently joined your target company
• CRM updates: Auto-update your CRM once this change is detected

How do I set up new hire events?

Step 1: Specify the companies you want to monitor

Under Company table specify the table containing your list and select the column that includes the Company LinkedIn URLs of the companies you want to monitor.

Step 2: Set Your Target Hire Filters

Use the search filters to define which types of contacts you want to track as new hires by selecting job levels, titles, and other relevant criteria.

Step 3: Run the enrichment

Run the enrichment process to detect any new hires from your target companies.
