For Directors, VPs and C-suite executives looking for the next role

See which companies are about to hire at your level, weeks before the job is posted.

Brinksignal shows you the companies where a Director, VP or C-suite role has just opened or is about to, the people you already know inside them, and the first message to send. Most senior roles are filled before a job posting exists. This is how you get there first.

Private. Your employer sees nothing, and every message is sent by you, from your own account.

A worked example

One row, from the filing to the message.

A real filing from our own data, with the company withheld — which is exactly what a free account sees. The last two steps are illustrative.

1
What we saw7 August 2026. An 8-K, Item 5.02, filed by a medical devices company in Massachusetts: the Chief Financial Officer left. That much is a fact on the public record, with a date.
2
How to read itThe company is now deciding, and no job posting exists. The screen puts that beside how long a role like it usually stays unfilled in that industry, so you can see whether sixty days is early or late. It is not proof of a vacancy — the work may be redistributed or filled internally.
3
Who could introduce youIllustrative. Your own connections include someone who spent four years in that company’s quality function. The ask is not for a job. It is for a read on what the finance function is being asked to fix.
4
What you would sendIllustrative. A short first message written from your CV and from what changed there. You edit it, and you send it from your own account.

On a free account you see steps one and two, with the company withheld. A Search Pass names it and opens steps three and four.

How a senior role reaches the market

Senior roles are filled before they are posted.

A senior role leaks out of an organisation one stage at a time, and most are filled long before they finish the journey. We read the top of this funnel.

▼ Where almost every job search begins

Headcount planned

Budget agreed and succession planned. No job exists yet — and nobody is competing for it.

Handed to the hiring team

The team decides who. Executives place people they already know.

Reaches HR

Company pipeline, and everyone they have interviewed before.

Internal referrals

Referrals solicited across every department, not just the hiring one.

Given to search firms

Expensive, so only the hardest roles get this far.

Posted on a job board

Public at last. The shortlist is usually already forming.

Measured on our own corpus on 2026-09-07. Not an industry average and not a forecast — it is what this product actually saw. The diagram above is illustrative: it shows the order the stages happen in, not measured proportions.

What you get

Everything you need to land the next role, in the order it happens.

Four steps, in order. See which companies are about to hire. Find the person who can introduce you. Know what to say. Keep every conversation moving.

Step one

See which companies are about to hire at your level

Five signs a senior role is opening, weeks before a job posting. You see the company, the role and the month.

Step three

Know what to say: the first message, the interview, the offer

Every message and every piece of preparation is written from what just happened at that company and from your own CV.

See what you get →

The first messageWritten from what happened at that company this week, in your voice. You send it.
Interview preparation from the company’s own recordWhat changed, what they need, and the questions that decide it.
The offerWhat the role pays, as disclosed, and how to hold your position.
A coach that knows your searchAsk anything. The answer comes from your own data, with the evidence shown.
Your executive storyWritten from your CV, ready to forward.
Every conversation on one boardFrom first message to offer: sent, replied, in conversation, in process, closed.
A warning when a conversation goes quietBefore the silence costs you the role.
Alerts and a weekly summaryWhat moved, what stalled, what to do next.
Reports you can hand to a coachYour real reply rate and where you are strongest.
Share the boardWith your coach, or with the firm running your search.
Step four

Keep every conversation moving

Senior searches are lost to silence. A conversation goes quiet, a follow-up is missed. One board catches both.

Discretion

Private until you decide to act.

Your search is yours. Nothing is published, nobody is contacted, and your current employer sees nothing.

  • Every message leaves from your own account, in your own words, with your hand on the send.
  • Every fact carries its source, so you can check it before you say it out loud.
  • Your record stays yours, and stays with you.
  • What we hold and who can see it is set out in full on the security page.
