Hiring Signal

Their job posts reveal their next move.

A competitor hiring 18 AI/ML engineers isn't just staffing up — they're building something. SENSER tracks hiring patterns across Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby so you can predict product strategy from open roles, not press releases.

AI INSIGHT
Strategic hiring pattern detected: Competitor Alpha is aggressively scaling AI/ML (18 roles) and Product (6 roles) while adding 4 Executive positions. This suggests a major product expansion — likely an AI-powered module launching in the next 2-3 quarters. In contrast, Competitor Beta's hiring is concentrated in Community Support (37 roles), signaling scale-up of existing business, not new product development. Opportunity: Ship your AI features before Alpha's team is fully ramped.

Jobs can be tracked manually via competitor detail page

Read their strategy from their careers page.

SENSER auto-syncs with Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby to track every open role your competitors post. No scraping, no manual checks.

Step 01

Add competitors

Enter competitor names. SENSER auto-detects their ATS platform (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) and begins syncing open roles immediately.

Step 02

Track departments & roles

See every open role broken down by department — Engineering, Product, AI/ML, Sales, Executive. Department mix reveals strategic priorities.

Step 03

Detect changes weekly

New roles added and roles removed are tracked every sync. Spikes in hiring signal upcoming launches. Cuts signal pivots or struggles.

Step 04

Get strategic insights

AI analyzes hiring patterns across your competitive set and tells you what it means — product expansions, market entries, strategic pivots.

Job postings are the most underrated competitive signal

Funding announcements are curated. Press releases are spun. But job postings reveal exactly what a company is actually investing in — right now.

STRATEGY SIGNAL

Predict product moves from hiring patterns

18 AI/ML roles means an AI product is coming. 22 sales roles means a go-to-market push. 4 executive hires means a strategic pivot. Job postings are the most honest signal a company sends.

EARLY WARNING

Know before the announcement

Companies hire months before they launch. By the time a competitor announces their new AI module, SENSER users already saw the 18 ML engineer postings six months earlier.

AUTO-SYNC

No scraping. No manual checks.

Direct integration with Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby APIs. Roles sync automatically with department categorization, new/removed tracking, and historical data.

MARKET VIEW

Compare hiring across your entire competitive set

See which competitor is investing in AI vs. sales vs. support. Understand where the market is heading by what the market is hiring for.

Turn careers pages into competitive intelligence

Every open role is a data point. SENSER aggregates them into a strategic picture that tells you what competitors are building, where they're expanding, and how fast they're moving.

Scenario: Product Intelligence

"Our competitor launched an AI feature and completely blindsided us. We had no idea they were even working on it."

SENSER would have flagged the 18 AI/ML roles they posted 6 months before launch. You'd have had time to accelerate your own AI roadmap or differentiate your positioning.

Scenario: Market Entry

"A competitor opened an EMEA sales office and started winning our European accounts before we knew they were expanding."

SENSER detects geographic role clusters. 22 sales roles in London would have been flagged weeks before their formal expansion announcement.

Scenario: Strategic Planning

"The board asked how our engineering investment compares to competitors. We had no data."
