Quarterly hiring-velocity and leadership-hire brief for the board
Each quarter, an agent gathers headcount-growth velocity and senior leadership hires across a competitor set.

What it does
Produces an executive narrative, not just a data dump. An agent measures each competitor's hiring velocity (open roles now versus prior quarters), identifies senior leadership and director-level hires, and writes a board-ready brief explaining what the combined picture says about each rival's runway, confidence, and strategic priorities.
When to use it
For quarterly board prep or strategy offsites when leadership wants an interpreted view of the competitive landscape: who is scaling aggressively, who has frozen hiring, and which senior hires hint at a new direction or an IPO push.
How it works
- 1A quarterly schedule starts the agent.
- 2The agent uses Apify to pull current open roles and seniority across the competitor set.
- 3It reads stored prior-quarter counts from Airtable to compute velocity and detect freezes or surges.
- 4It isolates VP and C-level postings as leadership signals.
- 5It reasons over velocity plus leadership hires to form a thesis per competitor.
- 6It writes the narrative brief to Notion and posts the headline takeaways to Slack for the exec team.
