Hiring surge lets you filter and enrich by a real, live growth signal straight from the field: which companies are actively surging in hiring right now. Instead of static firmographics, it gives you an actual pulse on who’s scaling their teams as you search - one of the clearest buying signals available, since a hiring surge usually means fresh budget, new initiatives, and new decision-makers walking in the door. Hiring surge is Lusha’s first monetized Premium Filter.

How to use the Hiring surge filter

1

Open the Add companies screen

Open the Workspace Add companies screen (chat or filter panel).
2

Open the Companies section

In the filter panel, open the Companies section.
3

Select Hiring surge

Select Hiring surge - it’s tagged Premium.
4

Combine with other filters

Filter freely: combine Hiring surge with any other filter (industry, location, headcount, technology, and more), on Companies or Contacts alike.
Filtering itself is free - you can explore results without being charged.

How Premium Filter pricing works

Unlike Lusha’s other filters, Hiring surge introduces paid enrichment on save:
  • Filtering and browsing results: Free
  • Saving to table: 1 credit per company result
Once you save a result, the full enrichment unlocks as a Surge in hiring (3M) column in your table. Click the arrow ( › ) on the column header to expand it and see the individual data fields:
This is separate from the existing “Surge in hiring” Signal available inside saved Workspace tables (see Workspace Signals: Tracking Buying Intent and Contact Changes). Hiring surge as a Premium Filter lets you search and pull the companies and contacts behind the growth signal before saving, directly from the filter panel or chat.

Why it matters

A hiring surge is one of the clearest buying signals out there - fresh budget, new initiatives, new decision-makers walking in the door. Use it to spot companies growing in real time and go straight to the right people inside them.
