Use our "Get Employee Count by Criteria" enrichment with People Data Labs to track department headcount by role filter. [1] For growth alerts, set up a Signal to monitor for new hires in that department. [2]
Steps:
1.
Create a table with company identifiers
2.
Add the employee count enrichment, filtering by "compliance" roles
3.
Set up a "Monitor for new hires" Signal with compliance job title filters
4.
Configure alert frequency in Signal settings
You can also use Custom Signals to monitor specific compliance hiring patterns. [3]

Enable auto-dedupe on your Signal table. Click the Auto-dedupe button at the bottom-right of your table, toggle on "Enable automatic deduplication," then select LinkedIn URL as your dedupe column.
This will automatically remove duplicates based on LinkedIn URL matches and keep your table clean going forward. [1]
Alternatively, you can manually dedupe by right-clicking the LinkedIn URL column header and selecting Dedupe > Delete Duplicate Row. [2]

for the Get Employee Count by Criteria enrichment, it doesn't appear to give the option to predefine a job role such as working in compliance. And when adding in a job role filter such as 'finance' and removing it, the finance filter comes back with more results. But the job role filter should have less in it?

You can specify job roles in the Role Filter field - just type "compliance" or other roles directly. [1]
The counter-intuitive results you're seeing (more results when adding filters) might be due to how People Data Labs processes the criteria. Try clicking the cog icon next to the Role Filter to see if there are additional configuration options that could help refine your search. [2]
For compliance specifically, you might also consider using the "Find Employee Headcount by Criteria" enrichment which offers more granular job title filtering options. [3]
