Why it matters

When a company is on the hunt for new headcount, it’s usually a sign of a problem to be solved or investment in a new initiative.

And if that company is looking to hire multiple people in quick succession, well, the opportunity is even riper. Especially if those new hires will get value from your product.

What to do

Focus on the people doing the hiring and the executives freeing up budget for these new roles.

Customize your messaging based on the job listings in question. Most hiring posts will reveal helpful information related to business priorities and current tooling.

Questions to inform outreach
  • What departments will the new hires be part of?
  • Who do people in those departments report to?
  • How is the organization’s tech stack configured?
  • Has the organization shared any information about challenges or goals?
  • Does anyone at your organization have a relationship with anyone at this organization?
  • What information can you share to show the value of your product?

How to do it
