User Guide
Rekoner helps office-leasing brokers find the companies most likely to need office space, reach the person who decides on it, and time the outreach to the moment a company is going in-market. The flow is three steps: find the demand → reach the decision-maker → act on the why-now.
1 · Find the demand
- 📈 Office-space demand board — enter a metro and Rekoner ranks the companies most likely to grow their footprint there, blending three signals: companies expanding into the metro, those already there and growing fast, and the recently funded. Each row shows the reasons and a space-demand score, and drills into the decision-makers.
- 📡 Company signals — pre-classified “why now” events: 🏢 Expanding office (companies opening/leasing a new office or HQ), 💰 Just funded, and 👔 New leadership (C-suite changes). Scope by metro + industry + lookback.
- 💰 Recently funded companies — a free SEC Form D signal: companies that just filed a private raise, filtered to operating companies.
Every result has a one-click bridge to find the office-lease decision-makers there.
2 · Reach the decision-maker (people search)
Find the people who manage or sign off on office space — by who they are, where they are, where they've worked, and their industry — and get their work history and contact details (email/phone where available), ready to export to CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.
- Add one or more filters (any combination), or use plain-English search (below).
- Click Search people, review the table, and Export (top-right of the results).
- Click any name for the full profile: a “Why now” snapshot (recent role move, headcount growth, funding), career timeline, company firmographics, contacts, and an on-demand Recent activity news summary.
Plain-English search
Instead of filters, describe who you want — e.g. “heads of facilities at fast-growing SF tech companies who recently changed jobs” — and AI turns it into a precise search you can still tweak.
How matching works
- Filters combine with AND. Each filter narrows the list; within one field, multiple values OR together.
- It's forgiving. Company names auto-resolve (
procore→Procore Technologies), industries auto-resolve (software→Computer Software), and titles expand abbreviations (CEO↔Chief Executive Officer). - Don't over-constrain. An exact Name + City + a small company can return 0. For discovery, lead with broad signals (industry, city, role, seniority); add exact filters only to pin down one person.
The filters
- Cities — the person's own location.
- Titles / roles — current title (or, with the current/ever toggle, any role they've ever held). Abbreviations auto-expand; add several to broaden.
- Worked at (past) — anyone who worked there at any point. Currently at — current employer only.
- Industry, Seniority (C-suite / VP / Director / Manager / Owner-Founder / Partner), Current company size (headcount band).
- Buying signals — company headcount growth, recently changed jobs, and has email / has phone (limit to contactable people).
- Names · Emails · Phones · LinkedIn URLs — exact lookups for a specific person.
3 · Act on the why-now (track & get alerted)
- ★ Saved — save contacts into named folders, and add companies to a watchlist. Everything syncs to your account.
- 🔔 Alerts — on any Company Signals search, click 🔔 Alert me to save it. Rekoner re-checks daily and posts a notification when a new matching signal fires; watchlisted companies are tracked automatically. Toggle email digests on/off on the Alerts page.
- 📧 Email-to-search — reply to any alert email, or email ask@rekoner.dev, in plain English (“who's expanding offices in Oakland?”, “top companies likely to need space in SF”, “find heads of facilities at SF fintechs”). Rekoner runs it and emails the results back.
Getting contact info effectively
- Profiles include work email, personal emails, mobile, and other phones where available, plus location and LinkedIn.
- Coverage varies per person — not everyone has every field (contact data is sourced from a compliant B2B provider, not scraped). A name with no email is still a workable lead (referrals, your own data, a call). Casting a slightly broader net yields more complete contacts; the has email filter limits results to contactable people.
- Export the full set (CSV / Excel / Google Sheets) to work the list or import into a CRM.
Troubleshooting
- 0 results? Remove your most specific filter first (exact Name or City), or swap a typed title for a Seniority pill, then re-add filters one at a time.
- A signal panel or the demand board says “temporarily unavailable”? That's a data-provider hiccup (often an API credit limit) — try again later.
- A company looks wrong or empty? Names auto-resolve to the closest canonical company — check spelling, or try the parent brand.
