New-hire radar ## Their New Hires, on Your Radar Automatically. TeamPredict re-checks each competitor's roster about once a week. Anyone new in the departments you watch is added to your radar automatically, and recent joiners are flagged as new hires, so you get an email while they are still new. People are most open to a move in their first few months on the job. A competitor's new hire is the easiest person to start a conversation with.

At signup, TeamPredict scans for the companies you compete with and suggests them, each matched to its LinkedIn company page. You can accept a suggestion, add a competitor yourself, or skip the step entirely, and you can add or remove competitors later from your dashboard. ### Can I track only certain roles or departments? Yes. For every competitor you choose which roles or departments to watch: Engineering, Sales, Product, or your own keywords. Only profiles that match your filters are tracked, and you can change the filters anytime. ### What is a poaching opportunity alert? When an employee at a tracked competitor shows the public signals that often precede a job move (a new headline, an “Open to Work” badge, a spike in profile edits), TeamPredict flags them as a poaching opportunity and emails you an alert. It is a reason to reach out with a friendly conversation, never certainty that someone wants to move. ### Can I see competitor headcount over time? Yes. TeamPredict records each tracked company's LinkedIn headcount every day, overall and by department, and charts your company against your competitors over time. When a competitor's team suddenly grows or shrinks, you get an email alert. ### What happens when a competitor hires someone new? TeamPredict re-checks each tracked competitor's roster about once a week. New employees who match the departments or roles you watch are added to your radar automatically and billed like any tracked profile, and people who joined recently are flagged as new hires so you can reach out while they're still settling in. ### How much does competitor tracking cost? Competitor profiles are billed like any tracked employee: $5 per tracked profile per month, or $50 per year. They count toward the same subscription as your own team, and your 30-day free trial covers up to 100 tracked profiles. ### Does TeamPredict contact the people I track? No. TeamPredict never contacts, messages, or notifies anyone: it only reads public LinkedIn profile signals. Whether and how you reach out to someone is always your call. ### Is competitor tracking based on private data? Competitor tracking analyzes only public LinkedIn profile information: the same signals anyone can see by visiting a profile. It never accesses private data, sends connection requests, or contacts anyone. The one feature anywhere in the product that reads company data is Slack team health, a separate feature that is off by default: if you switch it on, it counts messages in the channels you select, but it still contacts nobody. Telling your team is your job, and it reads nothing until an admin confirms you have done it, after which it reads back up to 12 months of their message counts. ## Point the Radar Both Ways. Retention early warning for your team. Poaching opportunities from your competitors. Same signals, same subscription.
