The Job Search signal surfaces companies that are actively hiring for roles you care about. It pulls from a live feed of job listings — not LinkedIn posts — so you catch hiring intent the moment a role goes live.
Unlike the Hiring for Position template (which monitors LinkedIn posts about hiring), the Job Search signal reads from the underlying job-listing feed. It’s more precise for tracking real open roles and less noisy for buyer intent tied to headcount growth.

​
When to use it

  • You sell to a specific buyer persona and want to reach companies the moment they start hiring that role
  • You want tight control over job title, seniority, location, industry, and employment type
  • You need to filter out recruitment agencies or only target recruitment agencies

​
How to set it up

1

Create a Job Search signal

Open the signal template library and pick Job Search from the Company Activity group.
2

Configure your filters

Fill in at least one filter. Every field is optional, but the more you specify the fewer irrelevant jobs you’ll see.
3

Preview the results

Click Preview to see up to 5 matching jobs. The preview is a sample — the active signal captures every match, not just those 5.
4

Save the signal

Once the preview looks right, save. Clearcue starts surfacing new jobs that match your filters.

​
Fields

​
Job title

Match job titles by keyword. Two modes are available via the Advanced syntax toggle. Simple mode (default) — type the role you’re targeting (for example Head of Sales) and you’ll get jobs for that role. Word order and minor variations don’t matter. Advanced mode — boolean expression with operators for OR, AND, NOT, phrases, proximity, and prefix wildcards. Use this when a single role name isn’t enough. 
("Head of Sales" OR "VP Sales") AND NOT junior

Advanced job title search

Full operator reference and advanced examples for the title field.

​
Location

Pick countries from a multi-select dropdown, or flip the Advanced syntax toggle to type a freeform location list. Simple mode — select one or more countries from the list. Jobs in any of the selected countries match. Advanced mode — type countries, regions, or cities separated by OR. Use this for city-level targeting or regions the country dropdown doesn’t cover. 
Berlin OR Munich OR Hamburg

​
Description keywords

Boolean search over the job description text. Supports the same operators as advanced job title search. Use this to filter on responsibilities or required skills that aren’t in the title. 
("B2B SaaS" OR "enterprise sales") AND (quota OR "closing deals")
Description keywords always use boolean syntax — there’s no simple mode toggle. Multi-word phrases must be quoted or the query will reject them.

​
Job type

Multi-select checkboxes for employment type. Leave empty to include all types.
OptionWhat it matches
Full TimePermanent full-time roles
Part TimePermanent part-time roles
ContractorContract or freelance roles
InternInternship positions
TemporaryFixed-term roles
VolunteerUnpaid volunteer roles
OtherAnything not in the categories above

​
Remote

Radio select for work-location preference.
OptionWhat it matches
AllNo filter applied
Remote onlyJobs explicitly tagged remote
On-site onlyJobs that are not remote

​
Agency

Radio select for recruitment-agency filtering.
OptionWhat it matches
AllNo filter applied
Exclude agenciesOnly direct-employer listings
Agencies onlyOnly recruitment-agency listings
Default is Exclude agencies because most buyer-intent use cases want direct employers, not staffing firms. Flip it if you sell to recruitment agencies.

​
Industry

Multi-select from a curated list of industries (Software Development, SaaS, Financial Services, etc.). Matches jobs where the hiring company belongs to at least one of the selected industries.
Industry is assigned by the hiring company, not inferred from the job title. If a company self-classifies differently than you’d expect, adjust accordingly.

​
Seniority

Multi-select checkboxes for role level.
OptionTypical title examples
Entry levelJunior, Associate I
InternshipIntern
AssociateAssociate II, Analyst
Mid-Senior levelSenior, Lead
DirectorDirector, Head of
ExecutiveVP, C-level
Not ApplicableNo seniority tag

​
How signals are created

A Job Search signal is created for each matching job listing. The signal’s subject is the hiring company. That means:
  • Signals stack at the company level, not the person level
  • You’ll see hiring activity alongside other company-level signals (funding, engagers, etc.) in signal stacks
  • People signals from the same company (e.g. a founder engaging with your post) roll up into the same company view

Signal stacking

Combine the Job Search signal with engagement or funding signals to find high-intent companies.
