Job Openings Growth Signal Is Now Live on SyncGTM
Companies that increased job postings by 30%+ in a single quarter were 2.4x more likely to purchase new software within six months. Job postings are a leading indicator — if you're not tracking them, you're leaving deals on the table.
Job postings are one of the most underused signals in sales. Every open role represents a decision someone made to spend money. When a company posts 15 new engineering roles in a month, that's not just hiring — that's budget being deployed, infrastructure being built, and gaps waiting to be filled by your product.
The Job Openings Growth signal on SyncGTM tracks not just the number of open positions, but the rate of growth — which companies are accelerating their hiring and what that means for their purchasing plans.
Layer this with our other signals and you can build a complete picture of account readiness before you ever pick up the phone.

GTM Campaigns to Launch
Sales / AE
Use job opening growth as a conversation starter. When a prospect is posting 40% more roles than last quarter, you know they're in build mode. Lead with how your product helps growing teams scale without adding more headcount.
SDR / BDR
Build your daily call list from accounts with the highest job posting growth rates. These companies are actively spending — they have budget, urgency, and problems to solve. That's the ideal cold outreach target.
RevOps / Marketing
Add job opening growth as a weighted factor in your lead scoring model. Companies on a hiring tear consistently convert at higher rates because they're in active buying cycles. Route these accounts to your top reps.
Job postings are public, frequent, and deeply predictive. Activate the Job Openings Growth signal on SyncGTM and start selling to companies that are actively spending.
