New(ish) Job

They've been in the role long enough to know what's broken. Now they have the context to fix it.

How it works

The first 90 days of a new role get all the attention, but the 6–12 month window is just as valuable, and far less competitive. By now, the executive has assessed the team, identified the gaps, and built enough political capital to start making real changes. They're no longer overwhelmed by onboarding. They're in execution mode. And they have a clear picture of exactly what isn't working.

Step 1

We track role tenure milestones

Spear monitors LinkedIn job history to identify when ICP-matched prospects cross the 6-month mark in a role – the point where they've settled in but haven't yet locked in their vendor stack for the year.

Step 2

You get a targeted alert with full context

When a prospect enters the New(ish) Job window, you receive their current role, company context, and a recommended outreach angle, without any manual research.

Real-time tenure-based notifications
Enriched contact and company data
Suggested timing and messaging angle

Who to target

A VP or Director who joined 6–12 months ago and would have budget sign-off on your category
Someone who came from a company that was a customer: they know the value, they just needed time to land
A leader whose team has grown since they joined, signaling they're now actively building out their stack

‍

Months 6–12

Past the chaos of onboarding, not yet locked into next year's budget cycle. This is when decisions get made quietly – before procurement gets involved.

FAQs

New Job targets prospects in their first 6 months — maximum receptivity, but high competition. New(ish) Job targets the 6–12 month window, when they have enough context to act but fewer vendors are actively reaching out.

It's a different kind of urgency. The window is longer, but the intent is different – they're now in decision-making mode rather than assessment mode. That often means a faster path to a meeting.

Yes, but subtly. Framing it as "you've had time to assess the landscape" signals relevance without feeling like you've been watching their profile.

They work best as sequential triggers. Reach out at week 2 with New Job. If they don't respond, re-engage at month 6 with a fresh angle using New(ish) Job.
