## Stored fields

This signal persists the following metadata you can read downstream:

| Field                    | Description                           |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| `meta.source_company_id` | The company being poached from.       |
| `meta.poach_count`       | The number of hires from that source. |

## Magnitude

High, concentrated poaching reveals strategic intent.

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

## Why it matters

Concentrated hiring from one place reveals strategic intent. When a company pulls three or more people from the same source in a quarter, it's deliberately acquiring a team's expertise, often to build a new capability or replicate a competitor's playbook.
