The problem · The signal

LinkedIn Recruiter doesn't predict moves. It confirms them after the fact — usually after your competitor placed the candidate.

01 What's broken today

"My team spent three weeks last month sourcing for a search that closed when our competitor placed someone we hadn't even called yet. The signal was there in the postings; we didn't see it."

  • P/01

    LinkedIn confirms moves; it doesn't predict them

    By the time a profile updates, the move is done and the candidate is unreachable. Posting-side signals lead profile changes by 4–8 weeks.

  • P/02

    Twice-weekly incumbent cadence costs you four days

    Tuesday/Friday refresh on competitor data means you call into a market three days behind a competitor on a daily feed.

  • P/03

    Sub-practice blur makes targeting useless

    A search for a PE secondaries partner in NY against an incumbent that buckets PE generically returns 400 names. Our 47-sub-practice taxonomy returns 23.

02 What we ship

Daily Client Data Index data + posting-velocity-derived probability scoring, served through both a sourcer dashboard and a full REST API.

  • V/01

    Daily refresh + probability scoring

    Posting-velocity-derived probability of move, scored on every tracked attorney. Three-tier confidence: ≥85% emerald, 70–84% amber, 50–69% gray.

  • V/02

    Both surfaces — dashboard and API

    Sourcers work in the dashboard, with watchlists, signal timelines, and one-click export. Data teams pull the same records via REST. No tradeoff.

  • V/03

    47-sub-practice taxonomy

    Search briefs are getting more specific. The taxonomy catches up. PE secondaries, restructuring, telecom-regulatory, life-sciences-IP — all distinct from their parent buckets.

Edge use cases · For sourcers

Three queries you can run on day one.

Every record is normalized into the same taxonomy. Cross-cut however your model needs.
USE CASE 01

Probability-of-move sourcing

Your client wants a PE secondaries partner in NY. Filter the watchlist to ≥70% probability, NY-based, with sub-practice match. The shortlist is 23 names by Tuesday morning.

GET /v1/attorneys/probability-of-move?practice=...&geo=...
USE CASE 02

Group-move detection

When three senior associates and a counsel from the same practice group all show probability-of-move spikes simultaneously, the partner is leaving and taking the team. Catch the group, win the placement.

GET /v1/group-move-signals?confidence=85
USE CASE 03

Comp-band intelligence for the brief

Tell the partner what the market is paying this week, not what the survey said in February. Posted comp bands by market, sub-practice, and JD year.
