why it's a buying signal
Hiring means a team has budget and a problem it's trying to solve with people. Your product may solve part of it faster.
Job descriptions are unusually honest. "Experience with Salesforce required" tells you their CRM. "Build our outbound function from scratch" tells you there isn't one yet.
where to find it in India

- LinkedIn JobsOpen roles, with the hiring team often named.
- Company careers pagesOften the first place a role appears. Search "company name careers".
how long it stays useful
While the role is open. Once it's filled, the gap closes and the new hire brings their own preferences.
This is our working rule from running outbound, not a measured benchmark.
who should care
- tools for the team that's hiring
- recruiting and staffing
- training and onboarding
- anything that helps a growing team work faster
false alarms to watch for
- Evergreen posts that stay up all year, which some companies keep for every role.
- Replacement hires, which mean churn rather than growth.
- Posts by recruiting agencies on behalf of an unnamed client.
