New in role: meet decision-makers while they set their plans
A new head of sales, marketing or operations usually reviews the tools and partners they inherited. This hunter finds people who started a relevant role in the last 90 days so your team can introduce itself at the right moment.
What is a job change signal?
A job change signal is a public update showing that a person started a new role at a company. New leaders often bring new priorities and budgets, which makes the first months in a role a strong window for a sales conversation.
People who just joined a company want quick wins. They look at what works, what does not, and which suppliers they would like to change or add. Many also bring favourite tools from their previous job.
The new in role hunter watches LinkedIn career updates for people who moved into roles that match your ideal customer. It keeps only recent changes, within roughly 90 days, while plans are still open.
Your team gets the person, the new company and the date of the change, so the first message can be a simple congratulation with a useful idea. It is one of the most human ways to start a sales conversation.
