Job Posting Sales Trigger Detector

Drop in company URLs. Get back open roles that signal a sales trigger (new CRO, VP Sales, Head of Growth, RevOps director) plus the inferred buying moment.

Why this exists

Sales triggers are the single best predictor of cold outreach reply rate. A company that just hired a CRO is 5 to 10 times more likely to evaluate new sales tooling than one that didn't.

Trigger data costs $99 to $499/mo at LinkedIn Sales Navigator, $300/mo at Crystal Knows, $250/mo at LeadSift.

This actor charges $0.10 per company analysed. No subscription.

What you get back per company

How it works

1. Tries /careers, /jobs, /careers/jobs, /about/careers, /company/careers, /work-with-us, /join-us, /hiring in order.
2. Falls back to scanning the homepage for a "Careers" link.
3. Sends cleaned careers content to Claude Sonnet 4.6 with your trigger role patterns and product pitch.
4. Claude returns structured job data + a buying-moment narrative grounded in evidence quotes.

Inputs

• company_urls: list of company homepage URLs (up to 100 per run).
• your_product_pitch: paragraph describing what you sell. The AI uses this to tailor the buying-moment inference.
• trigger_roles: roles that signal a trigger. Default = revenue leadership. Customize for your ICP (e.g. "Head of Data" for data tooling sellers, "VP Engineering" for dev tools).
• max_concurrency: companies processed in parallel.

Use cases

• SDR teams: Weekly trigger sweep against your account list. Prioritise hot accounts.
• Lead-gen agencies: Sell "trigger-detected" lists at a premium.
• Investors: See which portfolio competitors are scaling sales.
• Recruiters: Reverse use, find companies actively hiring trigger roles to pitch your candidates.

What this actor does NOT do

• It does not check LinkedIn. Public careers pages only.
• It does not infer hires that already happened. Currently-open roles only.
• It does not enrich with contact emails. Pair with Apollo or Clearbit.
