Straight answers about the Monday intelligence brief.

An email. No app, no login, no dashboard. Inside: 3-5 local employers whose hiring just spiked in your lane. For each one: the signal (what jumped and why it matters), the decision-maker's name, a verified email, and an opener written for that company. You read it, edit if you want, and send from your own inbox. That's the whole intelligence brief. Some weeks the pack runs short - more on that below.

Keep your alerts. They're free, and they do tell you a role exists after it's public and contested. Monday Pulse tells you which employer just broke from its own hiring baseline, who owns those roles (a named decision-maker, never "hr@"), and whether they look open to agencies at all. Then we hand you a verified email and an opener written for that exact spike. The alert starts a race you're already losing. The brief gets you there first.

Public job postings. No secret feed, no scraping mystique. We watch the employers in your lane every week and compare each company's postings to its own baseline: a company that always runs two ads isn't news; the same company suddenly running six across three functions is. Then every pick is hand-checked before it ships. The edge isn't hidden data. It's reading public data against the right baseline, weekly, and doing the checking nobody has time for.

Bounce-checked the same week your pack ships. Not "validated last year" by some database. We test that the mailbox accepts mail that week. "Verified" is the most abused word in data sales, so here's our hard line: if we can't verify a contact, we don't send it. Ever. You might get a shorter pack because of that rule. If an address does not pass that week's check, it does not make the pack.

Yes. It's your name on the email, and nobody knows your desk's voice better than you. Each opener is written for that company and that spike, not mail-merged from a template, so it should survive your edits. Edit it, or hit send. Either way the slow part, finding the reason to write, is already done.

You do, from your own inbox. We never send on your behalf: no shared domain, no "powered by" footer, no sequence tool in the middle. That's deliberate. When a reply comes, it comes to you. Your inbox, your name, your relationship. We hand you the pack; the client only ever meets you.

Employer clients. Monday Pulse is business-development and hiring intelligence for winning the client side of the desk. It identifies employers whose hiring just spiked and who may need a staffing partner right now. It does not source candidates.

Not instantly, and that's on purpose. Every pack, free or paid, is hand-built in the same weekly batch, so yours lands with the next Monday run. There's no instant download because there's no database spitting one out. A human builds it. That's the thing you're testing.

Then it's taken. We won't sell it twice. That's the whole point. One desk per lane is the model. Ask, and if it's held, we'll tell you honestly.

You can't watch us not sell your lane. Fair. So we put it where you can hold it: the lane is defined and locked in writing at signup, in your agreement, not in a marketing line. If we ever sold it twice, you'd hold the paper proving we broke our own contract. We also won't fake a counter or an open/taken badge. Ask about your lane and we answer by email, straight. When you cancel, the lane goes back on the board; until then it's yours.

Metro x niche is the default, not dogma. Retained search, national sales books, and bar-admission-bound legal desks are not always metro-shaped. Forcing them into one metro would be a lie about how you sell. So the lane is defined in writing at signup to match your actual book: a sector, a region, or a practice group. The shape flexes. The constant doesn't: one desk per lane, in writing.

Monday Pulse is built by hand at Pirametrix every week. Not by a content team or an offshore pod. Capacity stays deliberately small, and the person who builds the packs also keeps the verification promise. Send a note on the Contact page and you'll reach the operator, not a rep.

None. And we won't invent them: no logos, no "trusted by" counter, no anonymous success stories. What you get instead are promises you can catch us breaking. Can't verify a contact? We don't send it. Nothing new in a pack? That week is free. Thin pack? Free week. Each one is claimable with a one-line reply. So test us instead of trusting us. The three-company sample is free, and you can check every row against LinkedIn yourself.
