WHAT LANDS IN YOUR INBOX
Each one is read from a public record, scored against the rest of the index, and written up as a call you can make.
FAILED SEARCHES
Reqs that closed and came back
The employer already tried to fill it. You know who could not, and how long it has been open.
Read from posting history: same employer, same title, reopened within 180 days.
PAY MOVES
Ranges raised or cut mid search
Before and after on postings that stayed open. A raise means the budget moved; a cut means the level did.
Read from salary text changes on the same posting.
EXECUTIVE CHANGES
CFO and controller moves
Appointments and departures from 8-K filings, joined to the employer's open finance roles.
Read from SEC EDGAR, Item 5.02, matched to the live index.
LAYOFFS, STILL HIRING
Cuts with finance reqs open
Confirmed layoffs at companies that kept accounting and finance roles open the same week.
Read from confirmed layoff notices joined to open roles.
HOW THE BRIEF IS BUILT
The same index that powers the Audit Friendly job board and Jobs API. Nothing in the brief comes from a source you cannot open yourself.
1
Read the index
67,359 live accounting and finance postings pulled from employer career sites and ATS pages, every night.
2
Join the filings
SEC 8-K and Form D filings matched to employers with open finance roles, so an executive change or a new raise lands next to the reqs it affects.
3
Score and write the call list
Twelve signals scored 0 to 100 against the rest of the index. The top rows become the week's call list, each with the reason and the link.
Is this a candidate list?
No. It is a list of employers with a reason to take your call this week. You bring the candidates.
Who is it for?
Agency recruiters working accounting and finance desks, and in-house talent teams that want to know what the market is doing to their own reqs.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Audit Friendly funds it through the Jobs API, which gives teams the same signals as data.
Failed searches, pay moves, executive changes and layoffs still hiring, with the proof one click away.
