Talent on the Move - Using OWL to Spot Important Team Changes

OWL’s people data makes it easy to spot the moves that matter most: who joined or left a high-profile manager, which managers are building new teams, and where teams are turning over. In OWL, you can see these changes directly on the dashboard and also receive email alerts as they’re disclosed.

In Friday’s customer newsletter, we shared a list of notable hires and departures from the last few months to show the types of signals OWL surfaces – valuable for intel on managers you already know, and for spotting potential spinouts. A few of those are included below. If you’re interested in learning more about how to track team changes in OWL, reach out!
