B2B Company Buying Signals — Hiring & Tech Radar

Turn public hiring activity into company-level B2B buying-signal intelligence.

Monitor Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and public company career pages to identify companies that are expanding teams, hiring leadership, changing technology stacks, entering new locations, or showing other signals relevant to sales and account prioritization.

Instead of returning hundreds of raw job postings, this Actor produces one structured intelligence record per company.

It helps answer:

Which companies are changing right now, what changed, and why could that matter to a seller?

---

What you get

For each successfully resolved company, the Actor can return:

• buyingSignalScore — explainable 0–100 prioritization score
• buyingSignalTier — HOT, WARM, WATCH, or LOW
• buyingSignalState — NEW, RISING, PERSISTENT, STABLE, FADING, or RESURFACED
• current open-role count
• hiring deltas across recurring runs
• newly posted jobs
• removed jobs
• department expansion
• geographic expansion
• leadership-level hiring
• technology mentions found in current job descriptions
• newly observed technologies
• structured intentSignals
• whyNow[] evidence
• likely targetBuyerRoles[]
• relevant solutionCategories[]
• source status and data-quality indicators
• evidence jobs with public source URLs

---

Not just another jobs scraper

Traditional job scrapers return job postings.

This Actor adds a transformation layer:

public hiring data → company changes → buying signals → account intelligence

Instead of asking:

What jobs does this company have open?

you can ask:

What is changing inside this company, how strong is the signal, and which buyer or solution category could be relevant?

That makes the output useful for:

• Sales teams
• RevOps
• Account-based prospecting
• Lead-generation agencies
• Recruiting agencies
• Technology vendors
• Investors and researchers
• AI agents
• Automated enrichment and routing workflows

---

Example

A company with expanding engineering, AI, security, or GTM hiring could produce an intelligence record like:

{
  "companyName": "Example Company",
  "companyDomain": "example.com",
  "buyingSignalScore": 59,
  "buyingSignalTier": "WARM",
  "buyingSignalState": "RISING",
  "openRoles": 100,
  "openRoleDelta": 18,
  "leadershipOpenings": 5,
  "buyingSignals": [
    "Hiring acceleration",
    "Leadership hiring",
    "Technology-stack expansion"
  ],
  "whyNow": [
    "Open roles increased since the previous observation",
    "Leadership-level positions are currently open",
    "Cloud and data technologies appear in current job descriptions"
  ],
  "targetBuyerRoles": [
    "CTO",
    "VP Engineering",
    "VP Data"
  ],
  "solutionCategories": [
    "Cloud infrastructure",
    "Data infrastructure",
    "Developer tools"
  ],
  "techSignals": [
    {
      "technology": "AWS",
      "category": "CLOUD",
      "mentions": 4
    },
    {
      "technology": "Snowflake",
      "category": "DATA",
      "mentions": 2
    }
  ]
}

The exact values depend on the company's current public hiring data and previous observations.

---

Supported sources

The Actor is HTTP-first and supports public hiring data from:

• Greenhouse
• Lever
• Workday
• selected public company career pages

You can provide either:

1. company domains and let the Actor discover supported career sources, or
2. direct career / ATS URLs when you already know the source.

No LinkedIn login, browser account, cookies, or LinkedIn credentials are required.

---

Quick start

Option 1 — Company domains

{
  "companyDomains": [
    "stripe.com",
    "cloudflare.com"
  ],
  "trackerName": "my-b2b-buying-signals",
  "trackingEnabled": true,
  "includeStable": false,
  "signalScoreThreshold": 35
}

The Actor will try to discover supported public career or ATS sources automatically.

---

Option 2 — Direct career / ATS URLs

If you already know the source:

{
  "careerUrls": [
    "https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/example"
  ],
  "trackerName": "direct-ats-monitor",
  "trackingEnabled": true
}

Direct URLs are useful when:

• you already know the company's ATS
• automatic discovery is unnecessary
• you want to monitor a specific public hiring source

---

Recurring monitoring

The Actor becomes more useful when the same companies are monitored repeatedly.

Enable:

{
  "trackingEnabled": true,
  "trackerName": "my-account-list"
}

Then reuse the same trackerName in future runs.

The Actor can compare current data with previous observations and detect:

• hiring acceleration
• hiring contraction
• newly added jobs
• removed jobs
• new locations
• newly observed technologies
• persistent signals
• fading signals
• resurfacing activity

This enables signal states such as:

NEW
RISING
PERSISTENT
STABLE
FADING
RESURFACED

---

Buying-signal score

Each company can receive an explainable score from:

0–100

The score is converted into a categorical tier:

HOT
WARM
WATCH
LOW

The score is based on observable public signals such as:

• hiring activity
• changes across runs
• leadership hiring
• department expansion
• location expansion
• technology-stack signals
• strategic hiring patterns

The score is intended for prioritization.

It is not proof that a company intends to purchase a specific product.

---

Signal state

The Actor also tracks how a signal behaves over time.

Possible states include:

NEW

A company or signal appears for the first time.

RISING

Activity is increasing compared with previous observations.

PERSISTENT

A meaningful signal continues across multiple observations.

STABLE

Activity remains relatively unchanged.

FADING

Previously observed activity is weakening.

RESURFACED

A previously weaker or absent signal becomes active again.

---

Technology signals

The Actor scans bounded sets of current job descriptions for technology mentions.

The built-in technology dictionary covers categories such as:

• Cloud & infrastructure
• Data platforms
• AI & machine learning
• Security
• CRM & GTM
• Observability
• Engineering tooling
• ITSM
• HRIS
• ERP

Technology output can include:

{
  "technology": "Kubernetes",
  "category": "CLOUD",
  "mentions": 3,
  "sampleRoles": [
    "Platform Engineer",
    "Site Reliability Engineer"
  ]
}

---

Custom technology watchlist

You can monitor additional technologies or vendors:

{
  "technologyWatchlist": [
    "Wiz",
    "CrowdStrike",
    "Datadog",
    "Outreach"
  ]
}

The custom watchlist is evaluated together with the built-in technology dictionary.

---

Intent signals

The Actor converts raw hiring evidence into structured strategic signals.

Examples can include:

LEADERSHIP_HIRING
ENGINEERING_EXPANSION
DATA_AI_EXPANSION
SALES_GTM_EXPANSION
SECURITY_COMPLIANCE_EXPANSION
AI_STACK_SIGNAL
GTM_STACK_SIGNAL
SECURITY_STACK_SIGNAL

Each intent signal can include:

• type
• strength
• supporting evidence

Example:

{
  "type": "DATA_AI_EXPANSION",
  "strength": 2,
  "evidence": "16 current data/AI roles"
}

---

Buyer-role mapping

The Actor can map observed signals to likely relevant buyer roles.

Examples:

CTO
VP Engineering
VP Data
Head of AI
CISO
VP Security
RevOps
VP Sales
CRO
GRC
Executive team

These are relevance indicators based on observed company activity.

They are not claims that a specific person is actively purchasing.

---

Solution-category mapping

Observed signals can also be mapped to relevant solution categories.

Examples include:

• Cloud infrastructure
• Cloud compute
• Data infrastructure
• AI tooling
• Developer tools
• Security
• Compliance
• CRM
• GTM tooling
• Sales tech
• Lead generation
• Observability
• Strategic services

This makes the output easier to route into downstream sales and enrichment workflows.

---

Evidence-first output

Buying signals include supporting public evidence wherever available.

Evidence jobs can contain:

{
  "id": "job-id",
  "title": "Senior Platform Engineer",
  "department": "ENGINEERING",
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "postedAt": "2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z",
  "url": "https://example.com/jobs/123",
  "isNew": true
}

This allows users and downstream systems to inspect the evidence behind a signal.

---

Main input fields

companyDomains

Company domains to monitor.

Example:

[
  "stripe.com",

---

Output philosophy

The Actor intentionally produces company intelligence, not a raw job dump.

A single company-level row can consolidate evidence from many individual public job postings.

This makes the output easier to use for:

• prospecting
• ranking
• CRM enrichment
• account research
• automation
• AI-agent workflows

---

Data quality

Each company result can include source and quality information such as:

• sourceStatus
• dataQuality
• careerUrl
• careerUrls
• atsProvider
• discoveryMethods

This helps downstream systems distinguish successfully resolved companies from incomplete or lower-confidence observations.

---

Recommended recurring workflow

A typical workflow looks like:

Target account list
        ↓
B2B Company Buying Signals Actor
        ↓
Hiring + leadership + department + technology analysis
        ↓
Buying Signal Score
        ↓
Why Now evidence
        ↓
Buyer roles + solution categories
        ↓
CRM / AI agent / outbound workflow

Run the same tracker repeatedly to move from a static company snapshot to ongoing change detection.

---

Important caveat

A buying signal is a sales-intelligence indicator, not proof that a company intends to purchase a specific product.

The Actor analyzes observable public hiring activity and converts it into structured prioritization signals.

Users should combine these signals with their own qualification criteria, account data, and sales process.
