IntentSignal Pro – Tech + Hiring Buying Intent

IntentSignal Pro is a B2B sales intelligence tool that discovers real buying intent signals for any company by combining two powerful data sources:

1. Real tech stack detected directly from the company's website — not self-reported data, but what they actually use in production.
2. Hiring velocity extracted from public ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, Rippling) — showing how fast they're growing.

The result is a clear intentScore from 0 to 100 per company, with a human-readable explanation of why. Ready to pipe directly into Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, or any CRM/enrichment pipeline.

Unlike tools that rely on job-posting keywords alone or expensive intent platforms like 6sense, IntentSignal Pro uses actual infrastructure signals — the technologies a company has deployed and the speed at which they're hiring. These are the strongest predictors of B2B purchase readiness.

Why use IntentSignal Pro?

• More accurate than job-keyword scraping — Combines real tech stack data with hiring velocity for a true intent signal
• Cheaper than 6sense or Clay Web Intent — No subscription needed, pay only per run
• Auto-detects ATS platforms — Supports Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and Rippling automatically
• Tech change detection — Identifies technologies recently added or removed (e.g., "Added: HubSpot" = likely evaluating marketing tools)
• Built for SDRs and growth teams — Output is structured for immediate use in outreach sequences
• Fast and cost-efficient — Uses HTTP requests (not browsers), AI only for final scoring
• Historical tracking — Remembers previous tech scans to detect changes over time

How to use IntentSignal Pro

1. Go to the Input tab
2. Add your target companies with their name and domain (e.g., { "name": "Stripe", "domain": "stripe.com" })
3. Optionally set daysForVelocity (default: 30 days) and maxCompanies (default: 100)
4. Keep enableWebsiteTechScan enabled for full intent analysis
5. Click Start and download your scored companies

Input

maxCompanies	No	Max companies per run (default: 100)
enableWebsiteTechScan	No	Enable tech stack detection (default: true)
useProxy	No	Use Apify Proxy for tech scanning (default: true)

Example Input

{
    "companies": [
        { "name": "Stripe", "domain": "stripe.com" },
        { "name": "Linear", "domain": "linear.app", "careersUrl": "https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/linear" }

    "maxCompanies": 100,
    "enableWebsiteTechScan": true,

Data Fields Explained

intentScore (0-100)

• 80-100 (High Intent): Heavy hiring + recent tech additions = actively investing
• 50-79 (Medium Intent): Moderate hiring or some tech changes = evaluating options
• 20-49 (Low Intent): Minimal hiring, stable tech = maintain mode
• 0-19 (No Intent): No hiring signals, no tech changes = unlikely to buy

estimatedARRRange

Estimated based on hiring velocity, tech stack sophistication, and ATS platform used:

• 1M-10M — Early stage, small team
• 10M-50M — Growth stage, expanding
• 50M-100M — Scale-up, significant hiring
• 100M+ — Enterprise-level operations

Pricing / Cost Estimation

How much does it cost to run IntentSignal Pro?

Free Tier: The first $5/month of platform usage is free on Apify.

Example costs (with Apify Proxy enabled):

• 10 companies: ~$0.05-0.10 per run (fast, ~30 seconds)
• 50 companies: ~$0.20-0.40 per run (~2 minutes)
• 100 companies: ~$0.40-0.80 per run (~4 minutes)

Without proxy: Costs are ~30-40% lower.

Groq API: The AI scoring uses Groq's llama-3.1-8b-instant model (~$0.0002 per company). You need your own Groq API key (free tier available at groq.com).

Compare: A single 6sense license costs $15,000+/year. IntentSignal Pro gives you comparable intent signals for pennies per company.

Tips & Advanced Options

• Provide careersUrl when you know it — skips ATS detection and saves time
• Disable enableWebsiteTechScan if you only want hiring velocity signals (faster, cheaper)
• Use daysForVelocity: 7 for very recent signals, or 90 for broader trends
• Run weekly to track tech changes over time — the Actor remembers previous scans
• Disable proxy for companies that don't have anti-bot protection to save costs

FAQ, Disclaimers & Support

Q: Is this legal? A: IntentSignal Pro only uses publicly available data — public ATS APIs and publicly visible website technologies. It respects robots.txt and terms of service.

Q: How accurate is the intentScore? A: The score combines real data points (actual tech stack + actual job counts) with AI-powered analysis. While no signal is perfect, this approach is significantly more reliable than keyword-based job scraping.

Q: What technologies can be detected? A: 90+ technologies including frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular), analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude), CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce), hosting (Vercel, AWS, Cloudflare), e-commerce (Shopify), and many more.

Q: Can I use this with Clay? A: Yes! The JSON output is designed for direct integration with Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Make, and any tool that consumes structured data.

Q: What if ATS detection fails? A: The Actor will still score the company based on tech stack data alone. Hiring velocity will show as "0 jobs detected".

Q: How does historical tech tracking work? A: Each domain's tech stack is saved to Apify Key-Value Store. On subsequent runs, the Actor compares current vs. previous scans to detect additions and removals.

Known limitations:

• Some companies block automated tech scanning (proxy helps)
• ATS detection requires the company to use one of the 5 supported platforms
• ARR estimation is heuristic-based, not financial data
