# Quickstart: Launch Your First Signal Campaign

This guide takes you from a new account to exported hiring managers in under 15 minutes. You will create a **Job Listening** signal — the fastest way to see value because Recruitcha sources hiring managers automatically from new job posts.

<Tip>
  Job Listening is the best first signal: no manual list building, 50+ ATS sources scanned every 24 hours, and every hiring manager mapped to the job they are hiring for.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    After onboarding at [app.recruitcha.ai/onboarding](https://app.recruitcha.ai/onboarding), you can create up to 5 active campaigns on the free **Solo** plan, which includes **1000 credits** to get started.

    Your credit balance appears in the portal header and under **Settings → Billing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Job Listening signal">
    From the dashboard, click **Create Signal** and choose **Job Listening**.

    Configure your search:

    * **Job Filters** — job titles, location, job type, workplace type
    * **Company Filters** — industry, company size, and other firmographics
    * **Hiring Manager Filters** — seniority and title patterns for decision-makers

    Give the signal a clear name (for example, *Software Engineers — SF Bay Area*).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch the signal">
    Review your filters and launch. Recruitcha scans 50+ ATS sources on a 24-hour cycle. Expect the first hiring managers within one business day.

    Each contact includes who they are, what role they are hiring for, and where the job is posted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export hiring managers">
    Open your signal and click **Export Data**. Choose:

    * **Standard fields** (free) — name, company, title, LinkedIn URL, job title, apply URL
    * **Enrichment** (credits) — verified email, AI pitch fields
    * **Destination** — CSV, Google Sheets, Instantly, HeyReach, Aimfox, or Atlas

    Enable **Auto-stream** to push new hiring managers automatically to a connected destination (all except CSV).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run outreach in your stack">
    Recruitcha delivers the data; you run sequences and replies in Instantly, HeyReach, Aimfox, or your ATS. Check the dashboard for newly sourced hiring managers and hiring posts from Monitor Connections signals.
  </Step>
