USE CASE:
Getting hiring signals right for SaaS companies
What follows is the honest set of ways to get hiring signals on SaaS companies, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and GTM Hiring Signal Scraper is the one that reads SaaS companies.
What is actually going wrong
SaaS companies and hiring signals: one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. SaaS companies sell to other businesses and publish almost nothing about their own numbers, and hiring signals inherits that. What catches people out on SaaS companies, hiring signals included: headcount flatters them, because contractors and alumni linger on a company page for years. If you would rather try it than read about it, GTM Hiring Signal Scraper does hiring signals for SaaS companies today.
What is at stake
Nobody advertises for SaaS companies speculatively, so the money exists before the advert does.
Traditional Search Tools
- G2, for SaaS companies. Categories and review counts, free to read, and it only covers vendors that asked to be listed.
- 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.
