Traditional Search Tools
- GitHub, for developer tools companies. Public repositories and contributor counts, free, and the strongest adoption signal in the category.
- 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.
