# Reach companies hiring for a role

Find the people at companies that just posted a role you sell into, and reach out while the need is fresh.

Quick answer

A new job posting is a buying signal. PumpGTM's targeting can require that a person's company has an open role for one of your triggers, posted recently, so you reach fit and timing together. Paste the prompt below to run hiring-signal outreach.

## The prompt

Paste this into your AI (with the PumpGTM MCP connected). It sets up your workspace and runs the play, pausing where you need to approve.

Skill prompt You are running hiring-signal outreach with PumpGTM.

Connect the PumpGTM MCP server at https://mcp.pumpgtm.com/mcp (add it as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in, or use a workspace key from app.pumpgtm.com in Cursor, Codex or Claude Code). Nothing is sent to anyone until I approve it.

Then:
1. Call get_workspace to confirm setup. If LinkedIn or billing is unset, give me the finish-setup link and stop.
2. Ask me: which open roles at a company mean they need me (for example, "RevOps" or "SDR"), how recent the posting must be, and my ICP in one line.
3. Call find_people with targeting that sets currentCompanyHiringRolesAny to those roles and currentCompanyHiringPostedWithinDays, plus my ICP, confirmed:false. Show the summary.
4. On my confirmation, run it with confirmed:true and playId, then review_people so I approve good fits.
5. Draft a sequence that references the timing lightly (not creepily) with save_sequence_draft. Show it.
6. On approval, set_sequence_status active.
Keep the reference to the hiring signal subtle and useful, never "I saw you are hiring."

No account yet? It works from a fresh signup: [connect the MCP](/mcp) and the prompt walks you through setup to first send.

## How it works

- 1 Set the trigger roles . Name the roles whose posting means a company needs you, and how recent the posting must be.
- 2 Find fit plus timing . It returns people who match your ICP and whose company is hiring for those roles now.
- 3 Reach out warm . You approve the list and a sequence that references the moment, and it runs from your own accounts.

Example. You sell RevOps tooling. You set the trigger to 'RevOps' or 'Sales Operations' posted in the last 30 days. It returns heads of sales at companies that just opened those roles, and your sequence opens with the operations problem they are clearly feeling.

## Run it via the MCP

The prompt uses these tools on the [PumpGTM MCP server](/docs/mcp) ( https://mcp.pumpgtm.com/mcp ). Nothing sends until you activate a sequence.

get_workspace

Read setup state. Start here.

get_workspace({})

find_people

Target people whose current company is hiring for a trigger role, posted recently.

find_people({ targeting: { currentCompanyHiringRolesAny: ["RevOps"], currentCompanyHiringPostedWithinDays: 30, ...icp }, confirmed: false })

review_people

Approve the good fits into a sequence.

review_people({ finish: true, sequenceId })

set_sequence_status

Activate the sequence.

set_sequence_status({ sequenceId, status: "active", expectedRevision })

## Or via the REST API

Read this month's Energy (people found against the allowance). Same workspace key as the MCP. Full reference: [API docs](/docs/api).

## Questions

Where does the hiring data come from?

PumpGTM's lead sources include current open roles per company, so targeting can require a recent posting for your trigger roles.

Is naming their job post a good idea?

Reference the underlying problem, not the post itself. 'I saw you're hiring' reads as scraping; the pain does not.

Can I combine this with post engagers?

Yes, they are separate Plays you can run together, each with its own sequence.
