</CardGroup>

A company posted its first role in a new city.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  A posting appears in a city with no postings in the previous 12 months.
</Card>

## Stored fields

This signal persists the following metadata you can read downstream:

| Field           | Description                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `meta.city_new` | The city that just saw its first posting. |

## Magnitude

Moderate to high, city-level granularity is useful but less decisive than country-level.

<Note>
  For the full bucket definitions used across percentage-based signals, see [Magnitude buckets](/buying-signals/concepts/magnitude-buckets).
</Note>

## Why it matters

Same idea as first\_job\_in\_country at city granularity, useful for territory-based reps who care about local presence. A new city often precedes a physical office (watch for a paired location\_added).

## How to read it

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Local presence">
    City-level hiring hints at a coming office or regional hub.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Territory signal">
    Best for reps with city or metro-level territories.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Office precursor">
    Frequently followed by a location\_added event within a few months.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Outreach playbook

<Tip>
  Useful for local field teams. Watch for a follow-on location\_added to confirm a real office.
