Fresh capital is a hiring signal before it is anything else.

The leadership read

Fresh capital is a hiring signal before it is anything else. For Ghost, a raise in the sector funds leadership depth, scale, go-to-market and operational rigour, rather than any single appointment. Watch where Ghost hires first across Americas; that is where the capital is really pointed.

Market context: Against a Talent Market Index of 109 (Hot) (up 7.3 month-on-month), Americas is at rising (+6.3pts) on signal share.

Ghost: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
