New leaders hire fast.
Build the relationship in the first month.
When a VP or C-level joins a company, one of their first priorities is building a team they trust. Your AI employee detects that hire the same day it is announced and hands you a task to introduce your firm while the new leader is still forming their hiring plan.
The first 90 days are when the team is built.
New executives rarely wait. They know their credibility depends on delivering results in the first quarter and that means having the right team in place. The agency that builds the relationship in the first month shapes the hiring strategy.
After 90 days the PSL is set and you are on the outside.
Executive move signals lose value quickly. Your AI employee acts within hours of the announcement, not days, so your introduction lands while the door is still open.
Detect. Enrich. Hand you the task.
Your AI employee handles every step so you reach out first.
Detect the new executive
The agent monitors LinkedIn, press releases and news feeds for VP-level and above appointments at companies that match your ICP. The signal fires within hours of the announcement.
Research their team-build history
The agent looks at the executive's previous roles to understand what teams they typically build and how fast, then cross-references that against the likely needs at their new company.
Task with a personal intro
A task arrives framed as a congratulations and introduction, not a pitch. The agent ensures the opener acknowledges the new role and offers something specific: your track record in their function.

Questions, answered.
Everything your team needs to know about the executive moves signal.
Which seniority levels does boilr track for executive moves?
The agent tracks all VP-level and above appointments by default: VP, SVP, EVP, C-level (CTO, CPO, CFO, COO, CEO) and Director-level in larger organisations. You can configure the minimum seniority threshold in your signal settings.
How quickly does the signal arrive after an executive announces a new role?
Typically within two to six hours of the LinkedIn announcement or press release being published. For announcements that only appear in company press rooms or small industry publications, detection may take up to 24 hours.
Does boilr tell me anything about the executive's previous role?
Yes. The signal includes the executive's previous employer, their tenure there and their title, which the agent uses to infer the team size and structure they are likely to build in the new role.
What if the executive is new to a company I already have a relationship with?
If the company is in your boilr pipeline, the executive move signal is linked to the existing account. The task is framed as a relationship-update outreach: introducing yourself to the new decision-maker you may not know yet.
Can I filter executive moves by function?
Yes. If your desk focuses on engineering talent, you can configure the signal to only fire for VP Engineering, CTO and Head of Platform appointments. Function filters are set once in your ICP and applied to every executive move signal.
Meet the new VP before anyone else does.
Your AI employee spots executive appointments within hours and hands you a task to reach the new leader while the door is still open.
