What Are Work Milestone Signals?
Work milestone signals capture three career events for 4M+ contacts: job changes (jobChange), internal promotions (promotion), and work anniversaries (workAnniversary). Autobound compares LinkedIn profiles against historical snapshots weekly and has emitted 25M+ milestone records since January 2026, roughly 3M per month.
Each signal includes the event date, months since the event, new and previous job titles with descriptions, company details, locations, and a confidence score; anniversary signals add the milestone year (a 3 or 5-year anniversary, for example). Promotions and anniversaries make natural, non-salesy openers: congratulating a VP on five years earns replies that cold pitches never will.
