## The science of seeing people clearly.

## What are Success Signals?

Success Signals are verified patterns in a person’s background, behavior, and impact that reveal not only if they can do the job, but if they can thrive in your environment.  
Created by recruiters, search professionals, and people leaders, Success Signals turn expertise into labeled indicators of performance, potential, and fit — delivering the contextual intelligence needed to make better talent decisions.

## Success requires context.

| Expertise | What they see | How it becomes a Success Signal | What it enables |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Veteran Recruiters | How military leadership translates into operational success (e.g., mission leadership → operational excellence) | Transferable competency mapping | Spot leadership and discipline beyond job titles |
| Executive Search Professionals | Traits of leaders who can scale teams through key inflection points | Leadership depth & scaling experience | Identify future-ready executives |
| Sales & GTM Recruiters | Which reps consistently outperform vs inflated resumes | Quota-attainment consistency | Show true sales performance |
| Technical Talent Experts | Engineering versatility and problem-solving velocity | Learning agility & domain range | Source high-adaptability engineers |
| People & HR Leaders | Teams with high-retention and high-engagement | Culture health & team stability | Optimize for long-term team health |
| Healthcare Recruiters | Clinicians with the right mix of certifications, patient-care skills, and regulatory readiness | Clinicians with the right mix of certifications, patient-care skills, and regulatory readiness | Clinical competency & care-quality reliability |

## Success isn't one-size-fits-all

A startup CMO isn’t solving the same problems as an enterprise marketing leader. An engineer who thrived at Google may struggle at a Series A. Findem captures these differences by encoding the DNA unique to your organization, so decisions reflect your reality.

## Where great talent decisions start.

## How Findem builds context

Success Signals are created from external data, expert labeling, and 3D career insights. Experts define what matters, and the platform applies that expertise across talent workflows. As you connect more systems, signals become more reflective of your organization.

## How agents use context

Agents act with the same insight as your best recruiters and leaders. With Success Signals, they can:

- Understand how military leadership translates into operational roles
- Distinguish a Series B CMO from an enterprise CMO
- Identify engineers suited for early-stage build versus long-term scale.

Each signal reflects real expertise, so decisions are based on verified insight rather than assumption.
