Lightweight CRMs with hiring data (out-of-the-box)?

Question

Hey HN!Is there a tool where I can filter by hiring activity e.g. hiring first UXResearcher or Designer, among other properties, to send more targeted emails?My co-founder and I just launched our v1, are Pre-PMF, and are looking for ways to send more targeted emails, at high volume.We're building a tool that would be great for teams hiring their first UX Researchers.It seems most CRMs have the user ingest their own data, or the prices quickly get steep.Many thanks!

There are prospect databases like Apollo.io and zoominfo that let you filter based on prospects new to their job. Add that to a company size/stage/revenue filter and you should be at least 80% there.
Alternatively, you might consider scraping relevant job sites/forums/boards for job postings for UX research/designer.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Is the problem that this kind of tool doesn't exist because hiring data is so fragmented? Some data on different ATS platforms, some on LinkedIn, but all with restricted APIs?

I'm doing this manually(linkedin search, jobs page, IMs) It's is very time-consuming and distracting. I'm looking for some kind of automation myself.
