LinkedIn company change signal outreach
Last updated 16 October 2026
When you plan your LinkedIn company change signal outreach, HeyLead can help. HeyLead is an AI agent for LinkedIn outreach: it finds the right people, writes to them in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts, follows up, and handles replies. It runs from Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client or a web dashboard.
What the company change signal is
The company change signal means a person moved to a new company. It comes from a person's own activity on LinkedIn. The signal is attached to 1 person. It expires after 30 days.
Why the company change signal matters
HeyLead watches 40+ signal types. These signals are scored, matched to your ICP and expiring. HeyLead re-reads the profiles and posts of people in your campaigns and searches LinkedIn for your keywords. The company change signal has a weight of 0.55 in HeyLead's score. Scores run from -0.30 to 0.90. A negative score lowers priority. When several signals name 1 person, this signal has priority rank 11. A lower rank wins.
What to write for a company change
A strong signal starts outreach. The opener says why now. You open with what they did. You mention the move in 1 sentence about it. You ask 1 question they can answer in writing. You include no pitch in the first message. HeyLead writes the invite note when the classifier finds a hook in it. HeyLead writes to them in the voice of your own LinkedIn posts. It reads your own LinkedIn posts to learn your voice. It never posts unless you ask for a post.
The brief to type into HeyLead
You type a 1-sentence brief in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or the HeyLead dashboard. 1 sentence creates a draft campaign. HeyLead drafts the campaign. You review it and press Launch. Nothing is sent until you press Launch. You can choose from 6 campaign goals. You can sell a product or service, find a job, hire people, find partners or investors, find a vendor, research interviews. Hire people, find partners or investors and research interviews work with a custom brief.
Limits and workflow
Before an invitation, HeyLead warms up. It does a profile view, a follow, a comment on a recent post. It sends an invitation with a note, an opening message, up to 2 follow-ups on Free and 5 on Pro. It uses InMail and email fallback. Replies are read, classified and answered from the campaign's facts. Anything ambiguous is held for you. A not now reply gets a check-in in 30 days. Opening messages, follow-ups and answers to replies wait for your approval until you switch to autopilot. Invitations, not-now check-ins and meeting nudges are not held. It runs from the cloud with your laptop closed. Free costs $0 for 1 connected account with 2 follow-ups. Pro costs $29 a month per connected account. The client's source is on GitHub under MIT. The hosted backend is not. It works in Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop and claude.ai, any MCP client and a web dashboard. It works in ChatGPT as a custom MCP app. This is tested on ChatGPT Pro. Custom apps depend on your ChatGPT plan and settings. HubSpot is the CRM it syncs with. Google Calendar is the calendar it books into.
