Hiring Post

A company hiring aggressively is a company with budget, momentum, and problems to solve.

How it works

Hiring volume is one of the most reliable indicators of company health and budget availability. A team that's growing is a team that's investing. And a growing team almost always needs new tools, new processes, and new partners to support that growth.

Step 1

We monitor hiring activity

Spear monitors job boards and LinkedIn for hiring volume at companies in your ICP, alerting you when a company crosses a threshold of relevant open roles or posts a specific role that signals your use case.

Step 2

You get instant alerts

When significant hiring activity is detected, you receive the full hiring context — which roles, which teams, and the right decision-maker to contact while the budget is actively being spent.

Who to target

VP or C-level at the hiring company — they approved the headcount
Head of the growing team — they feel the pain most acutely
RevOps or HR if the hiring signals a specific operational need

While the roles are open

Active hiring means active budget. The conversation is easiest before they've filled the roles and allocated the headcount costs.

Different signal, similar urgency. Funding tells you budget was allocated. Hiring tells you it's actively being spent. Combine them for the strongest possible trigger.

Yes, briefly. Reference the one most connected to your value proposition.

Use it as context rather than the main hook. General company growth is still a warm signal.
