Traditional recruiting is reactive: a role opens, a req gets posted, and recruiters start sourcing from the same LinkedIn pool as everyone else. By the time you reach a candidate, they've already heard from ten other firms.
VerticalMove's signal-first methodology flips this model. We monitor proprietary hiring signals — funding rounds, leadership changes, job postings, and organizational restructuring — across 11 industry verticals in real time.
Our intelligence platform tracks three categories of signals: demand signals (new funding, board changes, strategic hires), supply signals (engineers updating profiles, publishing content, attending conferences), and market signals (compensation benchmarks, offer acceptance rates, counter-offer patterns).
We reach the right candidates before your competitors know they're available. Our average time-to-shortlist is 8 days — compared to the industry average of 4-6 weeks.
