Newly Hired Executives
/newly-hired-executivesReturns the people recently hired at a target company with their new role, start date and previous employer, billed 0.5 credits per profile.
Overview
newly-hired-executives calls the SyncGTM MCP newly_hired_executives tool to return the people who recently joined a company, each with their new title, start date, previous title and previous company. You pass a company name or its LinkedIn company URL, plus optional filters for function, seniority and location. It is the only SyncGTM tool billed per profile returned rather than per call, so the skill sets max_results and quotes the cost before every run.
What it does
- 1
Takes one company per call — the company name or its LinkedIn company URL, which is the safer input when the name is common or ambiguous
- 2
Returns each recent hire with name, new title, start date, previous title, previous company and LinkedIn URL, which the skill sorts by start date, newest first
- 3
Filters with seniority_levels (default: Director, Vice President, CXO, Owner / Partner), functions (26 departments including Sales, Marketing, Engineering and Finance) and locations
- 4
Caps the run with max_results — 1 to 100, default 5 — which the skill always sets explicitly instead of accepting the default
- 5
Returns no email and no phone number, so the skill chains find_work_email on the LinkedIn URL it does return, then verify_email
- 6
Costs 0.5 credits per profile returned, not per call: 5 profiles is 2.5 credits, 20 is 10, and 100 is 50
How to use it
- 1
Download the skill file — it saves as newly-hired-executives.zip.
- 2
In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the .zip (or unzip the newly-hired-executives/ folder into .claude/skills/ for Claude Code).
- 3
Connect the SyncGTM MCP server — browser sign-in, no API key — then run check_credits (free) to confirm the connection and your balance.
- 4
Type /newly-hired-executives and name the account plus the team you sell into, e.g. 'recent Sales and Marketing hires at Stripe, max 10 results'.
- 5
Tune max_results first — it is the only setting that moves the price. Leave seniority_levels at its leadership default unless you also want Senior and Experienced Manager hires.
Use cases
New Leader Outreach
Catch a new VP or CXO inside their first 90 days, while the budget is unspent and the stack is still under review. The start date tells you how much of that window is left.
Champion Backfill
A contact left a customer account and the renewal is exposed. Find who arrived into the same function and open the conversation before the term ends.
Buying Committee Refresh
Re-run named accounts monthly so the account plan names the people actually in the seats, not the ones who were there at first contact.
Displacement Signal
Read previous_company on every hire to spot people arriving from an account that ran a competing tool. They already know what they want to replace.
GTM workflow examples
A new sales leader lands at a target account
- 1Call `newly_hired_executives` on the account with functions ['Sales'], seniority_levels ['Vice President', 'CXO'] and max_results 5 — returns up to five leadership hires with start dates for 2.5 credits.
- 2Keep the hires whose start_date falls inside the last 90 days and read previous_company on each — that is the account whose stack they just walked away from.
- 3Resolve previous_company to its domain and run `find_company_techstack` on it — produces the list of tools the new leader ran before, which is what they are used to and what is now up for replacement.
- 4Run `find_work_email` on each hire's linkedin_url, then `verify_email` on the addresses it returns — gives one deliverable business address per hire.
- 5Write the opener around the gap between the old stack and the new one, naming the tool they left behind.
Outcome: A send-ready shortlist of new sales leaders where every row carries a start date, the stack they ran at their last company, and a verified work email.
Hiring surge to the person holding the budget
- 1Run `search_linkedin_job_openings` filtered to the roles in your ICP — returns the companies actively hiring into the function you sell to.
- 2Run `head_count_growth_rate` on the top accounts — separates real expansion from backfill, and drops the flat ones.
- 3Run `newly_hired_executives` on each surviving account with max_results 5 and the matching functions value — names the executive who just took the seat and owns the new budget line.
- 4Run `find_work_email` on each executive's linkedin_url, then `verify_email`, and time the first touch to their start date.
Outcome: A ranked account list where each growing company is paired with the named executive hired to spend the budget and a verified email for them.
Your champion left — find their replacement
- 1Run `check_job_change` on the profile_url of each champion exported from your CRM at 2 credits per person — flags which accounts just lost their internal sponsor.
- 2Run `newly_hired_executives` on each flagged account with the same functions value the departed champion sat in and max_results 5 — returns who arrived into that team and when.
- 3Run `linkedin_profile_posts` on the likely successor's linkedin_url — pulls what they have said publicly since joining, in their own words.
- 4Run `find_work_email` and `verify_email` on the successor, then rewrite the renewal thread around what they inherited rather than what was sold.
Outcome: A renewal-defense list pairing every orphaned account with a named replacement contact, a verified email, and a first line drawn from that person's own posts.

Always state max_results. This is the one SyncGTM tool billed per profile returned, and 'max 10' is the difference between 5 credits and a 50-credit surprise.
Leave seniority_levels at its default of Director, Vice President, CXO and Owner / Partner unless you want managers. Adding Senior and Experienced Manager widens the pool considerably and every extra profile bills 0.5 credits.
Filter by functions before raising max_results. A Sales hire and an Accounting hire are not the same lead, and narrowing costs nothing while widening costs per row.
Pass the LinkedIn company URL for companies with common or ambiguous names — a plain name match can resolve to the wrong entity and spend credits on the wrong hires.
When a tight filter set returns nothing at a small company, loosen functions or seniority_levels instead of raising max_results. Raising the cap on a filter that matches nothing changes nothing, and raising it on a filter that matches everything gets expensive.
Run it monthly per account, not daily, and reach for the cheaper sibling when the question is different: check_job_change (2 credits) for one person you already track, check_promotions (2 credits) for internal moves, find_people_within_company (1.5 credits) for everyone in a role.
