What is a New Hire Signal?

A New Hire Signal tracks when companies in your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) hire individuals into key decision-making roles. Avina identifies these hiring events automatically, capturing the relevant roles based on job titles you’ve prioritized, enabling your sales team to proactively engage before vendor decisions are finalized.

Why New Hire Signals Matter

New Hire Signals provide your sales team with critical advantages:

  • Early Opportunity Capture: Engage decision-makers before they’ve committed to competitors.
  • Strategic Timing: Identify ideal outreach windows (typically 3-6 months into a role).
  • Targeted Outreach: Tailor conversations based on the known priorities of newly hired decision-makers.

Ideal Scenarios for Using New Hire Signals

  • A target company hires a key decision-maker (VP, Director-level roles).
  • Your product/service aligns closely with the responsibilities of newly hired roles.
  • Early engagement to influence vendor selection and build relationships proactively.
