Expert-labeled data release for September and October 2025

Findem has released a new wave of expert-labeled attributes for September and October 2025, expanding how talent teams understand people across finance, engineering, achievements, personal traits, funding journeys, and other high-impact dimensions of work. 

These attributes come from Findem’s data labeling engine — the largest expert-labeled system of its kind — which produces the Success Signals that reveal a person’s real capabilities, trajectory, and potential. This foundation sets Findem apart and directly strengthens how teams identify, evaluate, and engage the right talent.

Most HR tech relies solely on general-purpose AI trained on surface-level data. Findem adds deeper company context and multi-layered structure to reveal the specific skills and attributes that matter for hiring decisions. These Success Signals highlight real indicators of performance and growth instead of relying on self-reported information.

Success Signals solve this problem by surfacing validated patterns behind a person’s impact: promotions, expanding scope, company growth, stage experience, leadership behaviors, ecosystem involvement, and hundreds of other context clues that don’t appear in keyword searches.

By converting these patterns into structured, expert-labeled attributes at scale, Findem gives talent teams a more complete and precise view of people across the entire market. This release adds new depth and breadth across millions of professionals.

Deeper coverage of finance and engineering roles

Wealth and retail finance roles

New role attributes provide far more precise segmentation across advisory, planning, and financial sales functions.

• 439K+ professionals tagged with Director of Wealth Management experience
• 2M+ within the Financial Consultant family

These pools enable more targeted financial-services searches by specialization, seniority, and customer segment.

Civil engineering roles

Civil Engineer attributes now cover 1M+ professionals across infrastructure, construction, environmental engineering, and related domains. This strengthens searches for highly specialized engineering talent.

Career momentum, timing, and promotion signals

Recently promoted talent

These attributes identify people who have earned a promotion within the last three years — a reliable marker of strong performance and forward momentum.

• 2M+ recently promoted engineers
• 558K+ recently promoted product professionals

Rising talent like this tends to be high-performing, high-growth, and still early enough in their trajectory to be reachable.

Funding journey and transaction experience

LBO and MBO experience

7M professionals now show experience at companies that went through leveraged or management buyouts — particularly valuable for private-equity operating teams and transformation-focused hiring.

Seed through late-stage startup experience

New attributes cover people who have been part of companies as they moved through major funding rounds.

• 122K+ from Seed to Series C
• 10K+ from Seed to Series F

These attributes spotlight candidates who understand the pace, pressure, and demands of fast-growth environments.

Geography, schools, and ecosystem expertise

Likely to relocate to St. Louis

More than 1M candidates show professional or personal ties that indicate openness to relocating to St. Louis — offering clearer paths for location-based searches.

Top US sales schools

3M candidates are now tagged with education from top US sales programs, improving targeting for sales roles where academic grounding matters.

Solana and Web3 ecosystem

A new attribute identifies roughly 5,400 contributors to major Solana ecosystem projects such as Jupiter, Jito, Kamino Finance, and Raydium — ideal for blockchain and DeFi teams needing exact-match technical experience.

Executive experience

Public company CFOs

A dedicated attribute now surfaces about 219K current or former public-company CFOs, helping organizations quickly find seasoned financial leaders with public-market and governance experience.

Personal traits and behavioral signals

Interest in sports

More than 42M candidates show participation, coaching, or mentoring in sports settings — often used as an indicator of teamwork, resilience, and competitive drive.

Learning and Trust

Two new traits with 72M+ candidates add richer depth to behavioral understanding:

• Learning: Candidates showing clear investment in self-development and ongoing growth
• Trust: Candidates with patterns tied to reliability, ethics, and dependability

These traits are especially valuable for roles requiring judgment, collaboration, and consistency.

Putting these attributes to work

All attributes in this release are now live across Findem’s Talent Data Cloud and available in search, matching, rediscovery, insights, and sourcing workflows. Whether you need operators with high-growth experience, newly promoted engineers, PE-ready talent, ecosystem specialists, or proven executives, these Success Signals bring more accuracy and insight into every pipeline.

When your AI is powered by verified, expert-labeled data instead of self-reported profiles, your team moves faster and makes decisions with more confidence.
