Finding Talents by Industry
Use the Industry filter in Talent Signals to surface individuals moving into specific sectors. This is particularly effective when tracking founders of new companies or executives taking on new roles.
đ How the Industry Filter Works
The filter applies to a personâs new role, not their historical experience.
Youâre filtering based on the industry of the company theyâve joined or founded.
For signals marked Live or Out of Stealth, the associated company is knownâmaking industry tagging accurate and reliable.
Example: A New Company search filtered by DeepTech will surface founders building in DeepTech startups.
â ď¸ Stealth Founder Exceptions
Stealth talents often havenât disclosed what theyâre buildingâso their startup's industry canât be classified yet.
Filtering by Industry in this case may exclude compelling founders simply because they havenât shared details.
Example:
A former Principal Engineering Manager/CTO with DeepTech credentials launches a stealth startupâbut doesnât disclose the industry.
â A DeepTech filter would miss them, even though theyâre a strong thematic fit.
