LinkedIn job change signal outreach
Last updated 15 October 2026
When you want to start LinkedIn job change signal outreach, HeyLead handles the work for you. 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 job change signal is
A job change signal means a person's current role changed on their profile.
The source of this signal is a person's own activity on LinkedIn.
It is attached to one person.
The signal expires after 30 days.
In the system, the signal type is job_change.
It is written in HeyLead as job change.
How HeyLead detects it and why it matters
HeyLead re-reads the profiles and posts of people in your campaigns and searches LinkedIn for your keywords.
HeyLead watches 40+ signal types, scored, matched to your ICP and expiring.
A strong signal starts outreach and the opener says why now.
The job change signal has a weight of 0.5 in the system score.
Scores run from -0.30 to 0.90.
A negative score lowers priority.
When several signals name one person, the job change signal has a priority rank of 15.
A lower number wins in this ranking.
What to write or do
When you use this signal, open with what they did.
You mention the post, the move, or the comment in a sentence about it.
Then ask one 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.
Before an invitation, HeyLead warms up.
It does a profile view, a follow, and a comment on a recent post.
HeyLead sends an invitation with a note, an opening message, up to 2 follow-ups on Free and 5 on Pro, 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.
The brief to type into HeyLead
You type a one-sentence brief in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or the HeyLead dashboard.
One sentence creates a draft campaign.
HeyLead drafts the campaign.
You review it and press Launch.
Nothing is sent before.
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.
