What problem does it solve? Cold email campaigns need a specific, verifiable personalization angle, and "your company is growing" is too vague to convert. This Skill produces a copy-ready clause stating how many people on one specific department started new roles in the last six months, backed by measured department-level headcount counts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Department-level surge detection: Runs Clay's free Find Employee Headcount by Criteria action twice per department (total and last-6-months) to compute role-start counts for sales and marketing teams. - Validated gating logic: Applies a ratio check plus absolute floors (role_starts >= 2 && dept_total >= 4), benched at 17/20 versus 10/20 without, cutting the qualifying segment from 14.6% to 5.2%. - Locked copy prompt: A 502-token prompt that outputs hiring_surge_line, a lowercase second-person clause that slots into "Noticed <line>.", with a hard rule against claiming anyone was hired (28.3% of role starts are internal moves). - Use Case: A demand-gen agency building a 5,000-lead campaign sources roughly 96,000 rows, runs the free headcount columns, and pushes only gated rows with a personalized surge line into their sequencer. ## Quick Start Build the Clay table from clay-table.md and ask the assistant to generate hiring surge lines for a list of company domains.
