Job Change

Overview

Job Change signals detect when prospects join new companies — capturing transitions with full context on both the new and previous role.

We monitor LinkedIn profile changes across 4M+ contacts, comparing current employment against historical snapshots. When we detect a new employer, we emit a signal with the new role details, previous position context, company information, job locations, and timing data. This gives you the details needed to reach out within the critical first 90 days of a new role, when vendor evaluation decisions are being made.

Job changes are a subtype of the Work Milestone signal. For promotions (same company, higher role) and work anniversaries, see the parent signal page.
