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 exampleHead 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.
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 byOR. Use this for city-level targeting or regions the country dropdown doesn’t cover.
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.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.Remote
Radio select for work-location preference.Agency
Radio select for recruitment-agency filtering.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.Example configurations

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.
