Talent First vs Valley
Valley runs signal-based LinkedIn outreach for any B2B seller. Talent First is built for recruitment desks: it knows what a hiring signal is and who the hiring manager is. Here is how they compare.

Giving credit
Valley's intent-signal approach is smart, and personalising outreach in your own voice is well done. If you want general-purpose B2B LinkedIn prospecting, it does that job.
Talent First applies the same instinct, intent matters, to recruitment specifically. It reads hiring signals across the market, not just LinkedIn activity, and hands you the hiring manager rather than a generic contact.
Why agencies switch
Talent First understands hiring signals, job aggregation, and hiring-manager identification. It is not a generic seller's tool pointed at recruitment.
Opportunities come from hiring activity across the market, not LinkedIn engagement alone, so you are not limited to who happened to view your profile.
