Find companies hiring for the problem you solve, and the person to write to
A company posting a sales or engineering role has a budget and a plan for that team right now. ZenMode Signals watches for those roles in the countries you sell to, finds the person who runs that function at the company, and writes them a message about the growth, not the job advert. Signals is included on every plan except Novice.

What this signal is
A company in the countries you sell to posts a sales or engineering role, and ZenMode finds the person who runs that function there. A new hire is a budget and a plan; the person who runs that team is the one to write to.
A job post is a public, dated statement that a team is growing. The person who runs that team is under pressure to make the new hire productive, which is when help is easiest to say yes to.
Who it suits: Offers that help a sales or engineering team do more: a company adding people there has the problem now.
An example lead as it appears in ZenMode, with the reason word for word. The person and company are made up.

How to do it in ZenMode
- 1
Give ZenMode your website
Add your website, or describe what you sell in a sentence. ZenMode drafts who you sell to and who your competitors are; you edit both and confirm them, and nothing runs until you do.
- 2
Check the countries you sell to
Hiring reads roles in the countries in your target market, so a company outside them is never a lead.
- 3
Press Find leads
ZenMode runs every signal that has something to read and looks for new people inside the target market you confirmed. Each lead carries one dated sentence saying what they did, so you can see why they are on the list before you add them.
- 4
Add them to a campaign and choose how it sends
On plans with AI, ZenMode writes the connection note and follow-ups for each person, reacting to the signal while it is no more than 45 days old. Each campaign either waits for you to review the messages or sends them on Autopilot, from your own LinkedIn account, at the daily pace you set and within your business hours.
Writing the message
- Mention the growth, in a word or two, then what you do for teams at that stage.
- Write to the person who runs the function, not the recruiter.
- Do not paste the job title back at them; one plain reference is enough.
Price
Signals is included on every plan except Novice, and each of those plans includes credits every month: 300 credits a month (1 credit = 1 person found or 1 lead researched) for the first LinkedIn account your monthly plan pays for, and 150 for each further account, included or an extra seat. Credits reset monthly; unused credits do not carry over. The plans and credit packs are on the Signals page and the pricing page.
FAQ
Which roles count?
Sales and engineering roles, the functions most offers help. ZenMode then finds the person who runs that function at the company.
Is a job post a reliable buying signal?
It is a reliable sign the team is growing. Whether that means they need you depends on what you sell, which is why the lead's dated reason is shown before you add them.
Does it cost more than other signals?
Hiring uses a paid people search to find the person who runs the team, so ZenMode runs it last in a search, after the cheaper signals. Each person found is one credit, like every other signal.
