Description

An Employee Changed Role event tracks when an individual transitions into a new job or role. This data provides insights into career progressions, role changes, and leadership movement. The role change could occur at the same workplace they were previously or at a new one. Important: The Employee Job Changes event tracks only recent position changes within the last quarter (timestamp_from should be set to the past 3 months). If no employee changed jobs within the specified timeframe, no data will be returned. For a historical view of workforce changes, use the Professional profile contact and workplace Enrichment API.

​
Use cases:

  • Talent Intelligence: Identify professionals moving into leadership positions.
  • Sales & Outreach: Target prospects who recently changed roles for timely engagement.
  • Competitive Insights: Track how key personnel shifts affect businesses.
  • Recruitment Strategy: Monitor role changes for hiring opportunities.
