What it does

Not all postings carry equal signal. A new VP of Product or Head of International says far more about a competitor's intent than a tenth support agent. This workflow filters incoming postings down to senior and executive titles, enriches each with context on what that role typically signals, and routes only those high-value hires to your team.

When to use it

Use it when you want to cut through hiring noise and only hear about the moves that imply leadership-level strategic decisions: a new C-suite function, a first regional GM, a head of a product area you don't currently compete in.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Exa searches for newly posted senior and executive roles across tracked competitors.
  3. 3A logic branch keeps only director-level-and-above titles and drops everything else.
  4. 4For each surviving role, Exa pulls supporting context on the competitor and what the hire commonly precedes.
  5. 5The enriched record is written to Airtable for tracking and triage.
  6. 6Slack delivers a concise, high-signal ping per key hire with the role, competitor, and the inferred implication.
