Using a company hiring post signal for a job search
Last updated 23 October 2026
When you look for a job, a company hiring post tells you exactly who needs your skills, and HeyLead helps you reach them. A hiring post names the team and the need. You can use this signal to start a conversation with the hiring manager.
What a company hiring post signal is
A company hiring post is a public update from a business.
It announces an open role and shows that a specific team has a gap to fill.
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.
HeyLead watches 40+ signal types, scored, matched to your ICP and expiring.
A strong signal starts outreach and the opener says why now.
The company hiring post is 1 of these signals.
It points you to active opportunities.
Why this signal matters for your job search
The campaign goal is to find a job (create_campaign goal='job_search').
You want to reach the people who hire for the role you want.
The fit question HeyLead asks is: Can this audience hire you or refer you?
This signal points you directly to the hiring manager.
You know they have an active need.
A hiring post names the team and the need.
You do not have to guess if a company is growing.
The post gives you the context you need to start a conversation.
There are 6 campaign goals: 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.
What to write to the hiring manager
Answer the need in 1 line before you mention yourself.
The hiring manager wants to solve their problem.
Your message should address that specific gap.
Before an invitation, HeyLead warms up: a profile view, a follow, a comment on a recent post.
Then it sends an invitation with a note, an opening message, up to 2 follow-ups on Free and 5 on Pro, InMail and email fallback.
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.
Replies are read, classified and answered from the campaign's facts; anything ambiguous is held for you; 'not now' gets a check-in in 30 days.
It reads your own LinkedIn posts to learn your voice and 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; nothing is sent until you press Launch.
You can write a brief to find hiring managers who published a company hiring post for a specific role.
HeyLead drafts the campaign.
You review it and press Launch.
It works in Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop and claude.ai, any MCP client and a web dashboard; in ChatGPT as a custom MCP app (tested on ChatGPT Pro; custom apps depend on your ChatGPT plan and settings).
It runs from the cloud with your laptop closed.

HeyLead sends from your own LinkedIn account at a human pace: at most 20 invitations a day and 100 a week on a free LinkedIn account (more on Premium or Sales Navigator: a newly connected paid account starts at 20 a day and doubles each week up to its limit), Monday to Friday 08:00 to 22:00 in your time zone, minutes apart. It backs off when LinkedIn pushes back and resumes on its own. You can pause any campaign at any time.
HeyLead is not affiliated with LinkedIn. It reaches LinkedIn through Unipile, which is also not affiliated. LinkedIn's own rules are in the Terms.
