Vitae BD is the whole business-development motion in one place: it watches your target firms for funding rounds, leadership moves, and hiring news, finds the decision-maker and their verified contact details, runs the outreach across email and LinkedIn, and keeps the deal in a BD pipeline of its own. Your candidates and placements stay exactly where they are, in the system you already use.
$99 per user per month. No migration, no switching cost, nothing to rip out.
A working illustration of the Opportunities feed. The scan runs every Monday and on demand, scoring and ranking each opening so the strongest rise to the top.
You set the firms. The scan does the watching. The score does the triage. You do the part that wins business: the call.
Import your target firms (paste a list, one per line, with optional websites) and add senior executives to a people-watch roster. Candidates you place are watched automatically.
Every Monday, and on demand, Vitae checks each firm across business-event data and news headlines. Signals from different sources are merged so the same opening never shows up twice.
Each signal is sorted into an urgency tier and given a confidence score. Weak, watch-only signals stay out of the way instead of cluttering the queue.
Promote a signal into a CRM opportunity, pull contact details for the decision-maker, and start outreach: send it yourself from the Signals inbox, or hand it to a campaign that runs email and LinkedIn for you. All inside the same workspace.
Signals finds the opening. Find People finds the person. Outreach starts the conversation. The CRM keeps the deal. Four modules, one motion, zero CSV exports.
A funding round closes at a firm on your list. The Monday scan catches it, scores it, tiers it, and puts it at the top of your queue with the why attached.
Pull the decision-maker without leaving the signal. Vitae BD reveals a verified work email and a direct dial, billed only on success: a miss never costs a credit.

Fresh capital plus stated hiring intent, at a firm in your universe with no agency on record. Strong, recent, and actionable.

Vitae BD tracks the business-development triggers that matter: funding rounds, new fund launches, hiring spikes, leadership changes, headcount changes, new job postings, office openings, and executive moves. When something happens at a firm you care about, it surfaces as a signal.
Signals are pulled from more than one source (business-event data and Google News headlines) and merged. When two sources report the same kind of event for the same firm, Vitae keeps the higher-confidence one, so you see the opening once, not three times.
A scheduled scan runs every Monday and checks each active firm in your universe. You can also hit Scan now to refresh on demand. A freshness window skips firms that were just scanned, so you are not paying for the same look twice.
Each signal is sorted into an urgency tier and given a confidence score, so the strongest openings rise to the top of the list. Weaker, watch-only signals stay out of your way instead of cluttering the queue.
Build your firm universe by importing a list of names (paste them in, one per line, with an optional website). Add senior executives to a people-watch roster. Placed candidates are watched automatically once they are marked placed in your ATS. Monitoring starts the moment a firm is in your universe.
From the ranked list you can promote a signal into a CRM opportunity, start outreach, log an outcome, or dismiss it so it stops resurfacing. Outreach is your choice of mode: send it yourself from the Signals inbox, or let a campaign run the sequence for you. Everything stays inside the same workspace as the rest of your recruiting work.
Hand a signal contact to a campaign and Vitae runs the steps for you: email and LinkedIn messages sent from your connected accounts, spaced the way you set them. The moment a reply lands, every remaining step stops, and opens, clicks, and replies are tracked in the campaign.
When a candidate you placed or a watched executive changes firms, Vitae can draft a follow-the-mover plan: an immediate outreach task plus a check-in task a couple of months out. You keep the relationship warm at their new firm without setting reminders by hand.
Most agencies run BD on a signal-alerts tool, a contact-data seat, a sequencer, and somewhere to track the deal, then spend Friday exporting CSVs between them. Vitae BD is all four, priced as one seat. Your ATS keeps doing what it already does.
Funding rounds, leadership moves, and hiring news, scanned weekly and scored.
Verified emails and direct dials, billed only when a reveal succeeds.
Email and LinkedIn campaigns with scheduling, tracking, and stop on reply.
Opportunities, pipeline, and reporting in the same workspace the signal landed in.
“We used to find out an agency was expanding when the roles hit the job boards, by which point three other firms were already on it. Now the branch opening lands as a signal and we are the first call they take.”
Everything below, for every recruiter you put on it. Add a seat and that seat brings its own credits.
