Competitive Intelligence API: Track Hiring

Headcount and hiring patterns tend to move ahead of anything a competitor announces publicly. A team scaling a new function, entering a new market, or quietly building out enterprise sales usually shows up in who they're hiring well before it shows up in a press release.

/v1/company/headcount-by-seniority returns a breakdown of a company's indexed headcount by seniority tier, how many c-level, VP, director, manager, and individual-contributor profiles are represented in the dataset. That count reflects only profiles actually indexed in the underlying dataset, not a company's true full headcount, worth keeping in mind when treating it as a comparative signal across companies rather than an absolute number for any one of them.

/v1/company/hiring-signals filters for people whose current role start date falls within a configurable window (up to 365 days), applied to a specific company_id. Run against a competitor, it surfaces exactly who joined recently and in what function, a much earlier signal of expansion than a hiring announcement or funding press release.

/v1/company/past-employees works as the inverse, and returns each departed person's specific past role at the company, useful for tracking whether attrition is concentrated in a particular function or level rather than spread evenly.

Checking a competitor's headcount once is a snapshot. /v1/monitors turns it into an ongoing watch: subscribe to a competitor's company URL with the staff_changed event, and get a signed webhook whenever their indexed staff count moves, rather than needing a scheduled job to re-pull and diff the headcount endpoint manually.
