Job posts that require <competitor tool> → Attio

The problem this solves

Job postings are the most detailed public description of a company's stack, because they say what the new hire must already know. A posting that requires experience with <competitor tool> confirms the company runs it, tells you which department depends on it, and names the moment - a new hire is being onboarded onto the incumbent - when the cost of that tool is most visible to the manager writing the requirements.

Technographic detection sees tools on public properties; postings see the tools used behind the login, including the ones detection misses. The two together give a fuller picture, and postings add the human context: the department, the seniority, the language the manager uses about the work. That language is exactly what a first touch should quote, and it evaporates when the posting closes.

Attio is where relationship-led teams keep this context, so the posting should land there as a note on the company with the department leader attached as a person, rather than in a spreadsheet nobody revisits.

How the mission runs

1. Search postings for the competitor tool. The Signals Agent reads hiring data for postings in the last 30 days whose requirements or description name <competitor tool>, capturing the posting title, department, seniority, date and the sentence that mentions the tool.
2. Resolve the companies and enrich. Each posting company is resolved to a domain and enriched with headcount, industry and HQ through the waterfall, and existing customers are removed. Companies with several matching postings are kept once with the count recorded, since multiple postings suggest a larger deployment.
3. Find the head of the hiring department. People search identifies the VP or Director of the department named on the posting - the person whose team will use the tool - and the email finder plus verification produce a deliverable address with status.
4. Add to Attio with the posting quoted. Each company is created or updated in Attio with the department leader as a linked person, and a note records the posting title, date, the quoted requirement and the link. The batch is reviewed before it is written.

The prompt

This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.

What comes back

Attio companies and linked people for every company whose postings in the last 30 days required <competitor tool>, each with a note quoting the posting and its date and the department leader's name, title, verified email and status. The report shows the number of postings found, the companies they resolved to, and how many produced a verified leader, plus the departments where the tool appears most often.

Make it yours

• Track several competitors and record which one each posting named.
• Combine with technographics to mark companies where the tool is also detected on public properties, which confirms a deployment.
• Run it weekly so only new postings are added and the note history grows on each company.
• Deliver to HubSpot or Pipedrive instead of Attio.
