Original: Job postings are the earliest buying signal your GTM stack ignores
Short summary
Job postings are an underutilized intent signal in GTM stacks, revealing actual production tech stacks, migration plans, and strategic initiatives 1-2 quarters before content-based intent providers detect them. The author explains three data quality pitfalls (negation/direction, ambiguous tokens, comparison mentions) and recommends company-level belief with decay rather than posting-level matching. The article includes API examples from JobsPipe for searching job postings by technology and scanning website tech stacks.

- •Three data pitfalls: negation/direction, ambiguous tokens, and comparison mentions need contextual parsing
- •Company-level belief with decay outperforms posting-level keyword matching for technographic accuracy
