A firm needs people when the work is confirmed, not when the job ad goes up. hyreflow reads contract wins and growth signals, and finds who has to staff the job behind each one. Add your own Shovels account and it reads US building permits too.

hyreflow connectedUse hyreflow and find the contractors in the north of England who announced a contract or framework win this quarter, with whoever has to deliver the work at each.
Your market: the sectors, the geography and the kind of project that creates demand for your desk.
hyreflow reads the contract wins and growth signals announced in your market, filters them to the firms that fit your desk, and finds the person who has to deliver the work at each with a verified work email.
Review the list before anyone is contacted, or let it run through. Either way the note is about the work they have just taken on.
Most contractors never post a job ad. These are where their need appears first.
Announcements, read from the source
Which companies have won work they now have to staff, and who has to deliver it.
Covers work that was announced publicly, in any country. A quiet subcontract leaves no announcement to read.
Company changes
Which firms are growing faster than their job adverts show.
Strongest for larger contractors and consultancies. Small trade firms leave few of these traces.
US permit data, on your own Shovels account
Which contractors in your area have just taken on work, before they advertise for crews.
Runs on your own Shovels account, which Shovels bills directly. United States only. A permit shows that work is confirmed, not that the contractor is short of people, so the play qualifies by size and activity first.
A signal is a reason to call, not a guarantee. Each one links to the play that works it.
A delivery team has to exist by a date. The person named to deliver it is the one to reach.
A manager is carrying the hiring alongside the job. Often open to help.
The direct route has not worked. A specific candidate tends to land better than a pitch.
Work is confirmed and crews have to be found. Often the earliest sign there is, in the United States.
Claudehyreflow connectedUse hyreflow and turn this spec into a ranked shortlist of site managers within an hour of Austin. Then get me mobiles for the three I want to call.
Give hyreflow the role and the patch. It returns a ranked shortlist with the reason for each name, and mobile numbers for the handful you are about to call, because site people answer the phone before they answer email.
Every play is a prompt you can copy, with the tools it calls and what it costs to run.
Where demand starts
Once you know who
Company signals and contact lookup are part of hyreflow. Permit data runs on your own Shovels account, and your ATS and your sequencer plug in through the accounts you already have.
The general method: a reason to call, the person who owns the hire, and a candidate to lead with.
See business developmentSite people pick up the phone. See how mobile numbers are found, and what happens when there is none.
No install. Add hyreflow to Claude or ChatGPT as a connector and run your first play.

A permit is one of the first public signs that work is confirmed. With your own Shovels account connected, hyreflow reads the permits pulled in your area and trade inside the dates you set, identifies the contractor on each, qualifies them by size and activity, and finds the person who runs hiring. Shovels bills that data to your account, not to hyreflow credits.
No. The permit data is United States only. Outside the US, the same job is done with contract wins and growth signals: who announced work they now have to staff, and who is opening a location or advertising a run of site roles.
Yes. The permit play takes an area down to city, county or zip code, a trade, and a date window. It returns the contractors pulling permits that match all three.
Not by itself. It means work is confirmed. That is why the play qualifies contractors by size and how active they are before it spends anything on contact details, and why the note it drafts is about the work they have taken on, not an assumption that they are short of people.
Yes, for the people you choose. You name the handful on the shortlist you are about to call, and mobiles are looked up for those and nobody else. Each number shows where it came from, and a row without one says why.
That is what permit data is for, on your own Shovels account. A small contractor may have no company page and no job adverts, and still appear on permits. The play starts from the permit and works towards the person, not the other way round.
Connect hyreflow to Claude or ChatGPT and ask which firms in your market have just won work, and who has to staff it. Review the list first, or let it run.
