Read rival job boards like a client list
You can’t see which clients a rival agency signs — except you can: every mandate they post is a client they just won. OwlSonar watches their job board, specialisms, consultant roster and content, and turns it into BD intelligence your team can act on the same morning.
Four pages that leak a staffing firm’s pipeline.

A week on a rival’s desk.
Their job board becomes your BD list.
Call the clients they just won
A company giving mandates to your rival buys staffing services — and most buy from more than one agency. Now you know who and when.
Defend your niche on day one
A rival’s new specialism page is your earliest possible warning that they’re coming for your vertical.
Track consultant churn as deal flow
Client books move with consultants. Three senior exits in a month is a window — for clients and for hires.
Specific to staffing tracking.
