Job Change Signals

Job changes are one of the highest-intent signals in B2B sales. When a contact moves to a new company, they bring their technology preferences, vendor relationships, and buying authority to a new organization. A VP of Sales who used your CRM at their previous company is likely to evaluate it at their new company within their first 90 days.

Autobound tracks job changes for 4M+ contacts with weekly refresh cadence. Each job change signal includes the contact's new role and company, their previous role and company, calculated tenure at the prior organization, and whether the change represents a promotion (e.g., Director to VP), a lateral move, or a career pivot.

Our job change detection goes beyond simple title monitoring. We identify the difference between a title change within the same company (internal promotion) and an actual company change (new employer). We also detect when contacts found new companies, which creates a different set of selling opportunities than a traditional job change.

The timing window for job change outreach is critical. Research shows that new executives make 70% of their vendor evaluation decisions within their first 100 days. Job change signals that arrive days after the transition, rather than weeks later, provide a meaningful competitive advantage for sellers who act quickly.
