Tracking job changes in Attio

Monitor every person in your Attio lists for job changes. The moment someone updates their LinkedIn role, your team is alerted — and the Person Record is updated automatically with their new title, company, and verified contact details.

Why job changes matter

The window to act on a job change is short. A champion who moves to a new company is 3x more likely to buy from you again — but only if you reach them before they've set a new stack. A closed-lost prospect who gains budget authority at a new role is a warm re-engagement. A champion who leaves a current client puts that account at risk.

Most CRMs show you a job change days or weeks after it happened, if at all. Daily monitoring means you're first.

Three scenarios worth acting on

The Champion Move A happy user moves to a new company and is in the market right now. Alert fires the moment they update LinkedIn. Re-engage before they've chosen new vendors.

The Closed-Lost Resurrection A prospect who loved your product but couldn't buy now has budget authority at a new role. The objection that killed the deal is gone. The relationship is warm. Re-open it.

The Churn Prevention Your internal champion leaves a current client. The new person didn't choose you. Get notified immediately so CS can build the relationship before renewal.

Prerequisites

  • Attio connected (see [Connecting Attio and mapping fields])

  • LinkedIn match attribute configured (see [Setting up LinkedIn matching and the Profile Finder])

  • An Attio List containing the people you want to monitor

Setting up job change monitoring

Job change monitoring is configured as a sync rule — the same dialog as Engagement Sync, but with a different activity type selected.

Step 1 — Go to Social Sync settings

Go to Integrations → Attio → Social Sync tab.

Step 2 — Create a sync rule

Click Create Sync Rule. In the rule dialog:

Step 1 — Source Select an Attio List.

Step 2 — Activity type Select Track and Sync Job Changes.

Additional options appear:

  • Email Finder — when enabled, automatically finds a verified email for the person when they change company and syncs it back to their Attio Person Record. Costs -1 credit per verified email found.

  • Job change scan frequency — how often to check for changes. Options: Weekly (recommended), Daily, Every 2 Weeks, Monthly.

Step 3 — Rule options Set the rule name, maximum contacts for initial import (1–500), and enabled status.

Click Create import rule to save. A Job Changes Signal is created automatically.

Step 3 — Configure notifications

Set up how your team gets alerted:

  • Slack — instant alerts when a job change is detected

  • Email — digest notifications sent to a specified address

Alerts include the person's name, previous role and company, new role and company, and a link to their LinkedIn profile.

What gets updated in Attio

When a job change is detected, the platform:

  1. Updates the person's job title and company in their Attio Person Record automatically

  2. Writes a note to the activity feed recording the change (previous role → new role)

  3. Fires Slack and/or email alerts to your team

  4. If Email Finder is enabled: finds their verified email at the new company and syncs it to the Person Record

Your team doesn't need to manually update anything. The record is accurate before they open it.
