Hiring signal
Open roles as market intelligence: a company hiring SDRs is investing in outbound; one hiring RevOps is systematizing; one hiring for a pain your product removes is a warm door.
A role posting is evidence that a company advertised a position. Check its date, location, team, and whether it is still open before treating it as relevant. Budget, urgency, and willingness to buy your product remain hypotheses to test.
In practice
Record an open RevOps role with its careers-page URL and observation date, then check whether the role is still advertised.
What to check
An open role may be evergreen, outdated, or unrelated to your offer. It does not prove an approved budget for your product.
