A person's current company changed to this company.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  A person's `current_company` changed to this company. Attributed to the joining company.
</Card>

## Magnitude

Bucketed on role seniority and volume; individual joins are low, waves are higher.

Buckets are assigned from the percentage change between snapshots:

| Bucket     | Condition                   |
| ---------- | --------------------------- |
| `low`      | 1% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 5%   |
| `moderate` | 5% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 15%  |
| `high`     | 15% ≤ \|delta\_pct\| \< 30% |
| `hyper`    | \|delta\_pct\| ≥ 30%        |

## Why it matters

New hires bring new needs and new perspectives. Every join is a potential new user, champion, or budget owner, and joins are the foundation for the high-value people composites like c\_suite\_hire, vp\_hire, and talent\_inflow\_from\_company.
