0upvotes

Use this skill whenever a hiring or open-roles signal is about to be used as a fact — in account scoring, an ACV or tier assessment, an MQL alert, an outreach hook, or a CRM/account note. It is a verification gate, not a signal finder: it forces every hiring claim to be confirmed at the target company's OWN source (their careers page, or a job listing matched by company name AND domain) before it can influence a score, an alert, or a message. AI web-research summaries routinely attribute another company's job openings to your target — shared applicant-tracking-system tenants, shared job-board slugs, and similarly named companies all cause it — and a wrong "saw you're hiring" line is worse than no line at all. Do NOT use this to discover hiring signals (that is a signal-sourcing job); use it to decide whether a hiring signal you already have is allowed to be used.

# Hiring signal verification

"They're hiring" is one of the most-used signals in outbound — and one of the most
misattributed. Research tools stitch together careers pages, job boards, and ATS tenants, and
they regularly hand you another company's hiring spree under your target's name. The prospect
knows their own company better than any research tool: one wrong "noticed you're opening a
sales org" and your credibility is gone, or worse, your scoring model promotes an account on
evidence that belongs to someone else. This skill is the gate every hiring claim passes
through before it becomes a fact.
