The hidden job market

Seats that just emptied at the level you are targeting. Executive roles are filled through boards and search firms, not job boards — so there is nothing here to apply to. The move is an introduction.

Sector (for market size)How far back

Searching all 3 months is free. Opening rows costs, 20 at a time, and you choose when.

Filtering and counting are free. Naming the first 20 — the company, the seat, the month and who left — is the part that costs.

Seats that opened

Press Show departures above to name the first 20.

The hunt tool — the LinkedIn query builder and paste-back capture — moved to Who's hiring, beside the automated search it is the hand-run version of.

Provider-driven departure scans remain available for a deeper, metered sweep across a whole market.

How the hidden job market works

A CEO, CFO or CMO seat is filled through the board and retained search. By the time it reaches a job board the shortlist already exists. What is public first is the DEPARTURE — so that is what this tracks.

A seat empties — Someone's senior role ends at a company you watch.
You see it free — Company, seat and month, before you spend anything.
You decide — Worth an introduction, or not.
Credits reveal who — Only the person's identity is metered.

Filtering, counting and the month a seat opened are free. Only revealing WHO left costs credits — that is the one thing still genuinely hidden.

What it cannot tell you

The newest months are always incomplete: departures appear as people update their own profiles, which lags the actual exit. A quiet recent month usually means 'still filling in', not 'nothing happened'.
