The People tab on a competitor profile surfaces team composition, hiring activity, executive movements, and open positions. Hiring signals are often the earliest indicator of a strategic direction, appearing months before any public announcement.

Summary metrics

Six metric cards across the top of the tab:
MetricWhat it shows
Employee countCurrent total headcount (e.g. 390)
Focus hiring areasThe department with the most open roles (e.g. “Sales”)
New hiresNumber of new hires detected in the current period. Shows “No new hires for this period” when zero
ExitsNumber of known departures. Shows “No known exits for this period” when zero
Hiring velocityRate of hiring activity relative to team size. Shows “N.A.” when insufficient data is available
Glassdoor ratingCurrent Glassdoor employer rating. Shows “N.A.” when unavailable

Key employees

A panel listing notable people at the company. Each entry shows:
  • Name and title (e.g. “Co-Founder & CEO”, “Head of Growth”, “CRO, Head of Revenue”)
  • Social profile links - clickable LinkedIn and X (Twitter) icons linking to their public profiles
Coverage includes founders, C-suite executives, department heads, and other senior staff. Use this panel to identify who to follow directly for early signals.

Executive activity feed

A table tracking public activity by executives:
ColumnWhat it shows
DateWhen the activity was posted or published
PlatformSocial platform shown as an icon (LinkedIn, X)
ExecutiveName of the person
ActivitySummary of the post or action (announcements, thought leadership, public meetings, interviews)
ImpactClassification badge: Normal for routine activity, Notable for strategic significance
This feed captures thought leadership posts, conference appearances, strategic announcements, and anything publicly visible from executives. Executives often signal product direction, partnerships, or strategic pivots here before any official company announcement.

Open positions

A table showing current job openings grouped by department:
ColumnWhat it shows
PositionDepartment or function name (e.g. Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Product, Design)
CountNumber of open roles in that department
Department-level view makes it easy to spot concentration:
  • A high count in Sales or Marketing signals a go-to-market push.
  • Heavy Engineering hiring signals product investment.
  • A surge in a new function (e.g. Legal, Security, Compliance) can signal market expansion or regulatory preparation.

What to look for

  • Surge in Engineering roles signals a product investment or platform rebuild
  • Surge in Sales or Marketing roles signals a go-to-market push or new market entry
  • New VP or C-level hires indicate a strategic shift, especially when the hire comes from a specific industry
  • Executive departures may signal internal instability or a strategic pivot away from that function
  • Notable executive posts that reveal upcoming priorities, partnerships, or competitive positioning
  • Hiring velocity changes - a sudden acceleration often precedes a product launch or funding announcement
Job postings are often the earliest signal of a strategic direction. A competitor hiring five ML engineers signals a product investment months before any public announcement.
