What LinkedIn Recruiter Can't Tell You

Every lead in The Monday Brief comes with four layers of context you won't find in a LinkedIn Recruiter alert.

Signal extraction

A VP of Sales reporting to the CEO, building a team from scratch, is a fundamentally different search than a VP of Sales backfilling under a CRO. We make that distinction. LinkedIn does not.

Scored and ranked

Open the email, best opportunities at the top. No boolean searches, no saved alerts returning 300 results with 280 irrelevant ones.

Budget confirmed

We only include roles with posted compensation. No salary = no real budget authority = no retained search opportunity. This eliminates tire-kicker postings and evergreen listings.

Market context

Salary benchmarks, hiring velocity, company stage analysis, and geo trends. Walk into client meetings with data on what competing roles pay and which industries are in growth mode.

Questions

How fresh is the data?
Most leads are 1-3 days old. We scan every week and only include roles posted in the last 7 days. Stale listings get dropped automatically.
What does "scored" mean?
Every lead gets a score based on three things: seniority (C-level scores higher than VP), hiring signals (reports to CEO, building a team, growth hire), and salary budget ($300K+ scores higher than $150K). Higher scores mean higher-value retained search opportunities. The scoring breakdown is fully transparent.
Where does the data come from?
We scan major job boards for VP+ executive roles with posted compensation. We extract signals from the full job description that you'd normally have to read manually: reporting structure, team-building mandates, growth context, urgency indicators.
What's in the Excel workbook?
Every lead from the week with 15 columns: title, company, location, salary range, score, signals, source URL, and more. Color-coded by score tier, with clickable source links and auto-filters. Sort and filter however you need.
Is this just scraped job boards?
The raw postings come from job boards. But a job posting and a scored lead are different things. We extract the signals, confirm salary budgets, score by retained-search relevance, and add market context. That's the work you'd otherwise do manually, or miss entirely.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no setup fee, no cancellation fee. Cancel from your account or email us at hello@execsignals.com.
