Hiring signal verification

"They're hiring" is one of the most-used signals in outbound — and one of the most misattributed. Research tools stitch together careers pages, job boards, and ATS tenants, and they regularly hand you another company's hiring spree under your target's name. The prospect knows their own company better than any research tool: one wrong "noticed you're opening a sales org" and your credibility is gone, or worse, your scoring model promotes an account on evidence that belongs to someone else. This skill is the gate every hiring claim passes through before it becomes a fact.
