## Who you know still matters.

## What are Relationship Signals?

Relationship Signals turn real-world networks into usable context for every talent decision. Findem builds these signals from your existing, in-network connections and through trusted external communities, expanded by [Getro](https://www.getro.com/).  
Together, these signals reveal where warm paths already exist and how engagement can begin with familiarity instead of cold outreach.

## From connection to conversion.

| Relationship Level | Examples | What it enables |
| --- | --- | --- |
| In-Network Intelligence: Signals unique to your org’s history and pipeline | ATS candidates and silver medalists Your company’s own alumni Candidates you’re keeping warm in your CRM Individual connections | Findem delivers deep in-network intelligence by unifying your talent channels into one view. Agents can instantly surface anyone already connected to the company, including past applicants, silver medalists, referrals, alumni, employees, talent community members, and pipeline leads. |
| External Network Intelligence Signals from the broader talent graph | VC and PE portfolio networks (Techstars, Sapphire, Redpoint, Compound, Silverton) Web3 and crypto ecosystems (Protocol Labs, Polygon, Solana, NEAR, DCG) Professional and member organizations (AnitaB, The Ad Club, Climate Draft, Colorwave, Leadership Triangle, Purpose Jobs) Regional talent ecosystems via chambers and EDOs (Launch Tennessee, CenterState NY/CNY, NWA, Flint & Genesee) Work or education overlaps across these communities | Getro expands your reach by surfacing trusted external networks across investor portfolios, industry groups, and regional ecosystems. These permissioned networks already carry familiarity and trust, extending warmth far beyond your four walls and unlocking access to high-intent talent. |

## Turning signals into action.

A trusted referral beats a cold message. Relationship Signals reveal existing connections that lead to results — like the teammate who can open the door or the sponsor who can support growth – with no manual mapping.

## Trust travels faster and farther.

## How Findem reveals connections.

Relationship Signals unify your company’s own relationships with [Getro’s private graph of trusted external communities](https://www.getro.com/connect). As more people and systems connect, the map grows richer and more specific to your ecosystem.

## How agents act on intelligence.

Agents recognize where trust and influence already exist. With Relationship Signals, they can:

- Prioritize in-network, warm-path candidates
- Identify connections that can lift engagement
- Surface internal sponsors for mobility and succession
- Reveal cross-team dependencies for workforce planning

This insight reveals who to involve, which path to take, and when to reach out.
