You were asleep. Four accounts moved, each with its source attached.
Buying windows
The three buying windows we see for recruiting agencies
Each one is a moment when a company is about to need people, caught before the market prices it in. In our study of 474 funded companies the median gap between a round closing and the first job posting was 35 days, and that gap is where retainers are won.
An executive changes jobs
First 90 daysA new leader means a team taking shape. They rebuild in their first quarter, and the seat they left behind needs a backfill. Two hiring mandates from one move, before either reaches a board.
A company closes a round
Median 35 days to first postingFresh budget and a growth mandate. The hiring that follows funds team expansion and new-market entry, and the fastest movers post inside two weeks.
A hiring signal fires
Brand new, or aging on the boardA fresh posting is the classic trigger. An old one is underrated: a role that has sat on a board for months is a hard-to-fill mandate, and the team behind it is ready for outside help.
How agencies source clients today
Referrals built the business. They also stop it from scaling.
The traditional way of doing lead gen is holding you back from reaching the right people at the right time. What an agency needs is a designed flow of net new leads that keeps arriving while you are heads-down filling roles, so the pipeline never runs out the week you finally look up.
Six habits, one outcome: everyone reaches the same account at the same moment, and the retainer goes to whoever got lucky.

What fires before the posting
The events that mean a company is about to hire
Job change signals
The one this audience buys. A new GTM leader to reach in their first 90 days, a departure that leaves a backfill, and the same person again three months in when they start building.
Funding signals
Budget exists and hiring follows. Round, amount and investors with the source attached, the day the round is announced.
Hiring signals
Including the executive posts that surface weeks before a board listing exists, so you are inside the first days rather than the second week.
M&A signals
Integration hiring and post-deal departures, with the acquirer's exec changes following a quarter later.
Company enrichment

Three ways agencies run this
Start with the accounts you already placed into
One of the cheapest pipelines in the building. Run your placed clients through the layer and the accounts that raised, promoted your candidate or lost an exec surface on their own.
Discover accounts with net new signals to go after
Most Series B teams open two senior roles within six weeks of the round. If the first sales hire is on this quarter's list…
Pull freshly announced funding rounds, first senior hires and executive moves in the market in minutes rather than in a weekly digest. Perfect for evergreen lead generation.
Feed the motion you already run
Bring fresh context within your tech stack with error-free accounts delivered to you via API, CSV download or webhooks.
Customer stories
Teams already running on signals.
What used to take tens of hours of manual research now runs in about 4 minutes. These signals are really minute old!
