Getting hiring signals right for sales engineers

What is actually going wrong

Sales engineers complicate hiring signals, for a reason specific to them. Sales engineers sit in one function and one seniority band, and both move with company size, and hiring signals has to work around it. On sales engineers, hiring signals rarely catches this: the same title means three different jobs at a startup, a scaleup and an enterprise. GTM Hiring Signal Scraper carries 1 ready made setup for hiring signals on sales engineers.

Traditional Search Tools

• The job advert itself, for sales engineers. Free, and the responsibilities section says what the title actually means there.
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Its hiring filter is decent at company level and tells you almost nothing about which roles. You get the signal without the detail that makes the first line worth reading.
• LinkUp, Revelio or a jobs data vendor. Real coverage, real history, and priced for a data team rather than a two person sales function. Worth it if you are building a product on the data.
• Google alerts on a careers page. Free and unreliable. Most applicant tracking pages render their listings in JavaScript, so the alert never fires.
• Read the job boards yourself. Open the careers page of every account on your list, once a week, and note what changed. It works. It costs about four minutes per company, so a 500 account list is a full time job for one person.
