LinkedIn Buying Signal Finder

A company hiring three Kubernetes engineers has a budget, a deadline, and a problem it has not solved. That is a better lead than any firmographic filter, and it is public. The Actor searches current openings for a skill, tool, or role that signals someone is investing in your category, groups the results by employer, and returns the leader of the function doing the hiring with their work email.

What comes back

One row per company, not per posting — three openings at one employer is a stronger signal than one, and it is still a single person to contact.

Each row carries the company, how many of its current openings match, how long its longest-unfilled matching role has sat, one opening as evidence with a link, and the contact: name, headline, seniority, LinkedIn profile, and best-match work email with a confidence score.

Rows are ordered by how many matching roles a company has, then by how long the oldest has been open. Both say the same thing about how badly the company needs what you sell.

How the contact is chosen

The Actor matches the signal to the function doing the hiring, then returns the most senior person it can confirm in that function at that company.

contact_basis says this on every row, because it is an inference. Nobody publishes who holds which budget, so the honest claim is "the most senior engineering leader we could confirm here", not "this person will sign your invoice". Everyone returned is confirmed to hold a current role at the company — ex-employees and people who merely mention it are excluded.

What it cannot do

A company that is buying quietly, without hiring, is invisible to this. So is one whose postings do not name the tool. This finds the companies that announced themselves.

Coverage of the contact side depends on what search engines have indexed, so smaller companies return fewer leaders. A company where no leader can be confirmed is not returned at all and is not charged for — a lead nobody can act on is not a lead.

Some company domains accept mail addressed to anything, so no service can confirm a mailbox there. That is detected before anything is spent, reported on the row, and never charged for.

Pricing

Charged per company returned with a contact. A search that matches no companies, or companies where nobody can be confirmed, costs nothing. The verified add-on is charged only when a mailbox is actually confirmed.
