Prerequisites
Before setting up employee groups, ensure you have:
- Admin or RevOps access to your PG:AI organisation
- At least one territory created
- Contact and job data enriched for your accounts (employee groups match against this data)
Overview
Employee Groups help you find out how many employees at each account match certain keywords - whether that’s job titles, technologies, or specific roles. You define groups by name and keyword, and PG:AI matches them across all contacts and job data in your territories.
Navigate to Territories → Employee Groups in the left sidebar.
Setting employee groups can help finding out the number of employees that match certain keywords like technologies or job roles.
Creating an Employee Group
Navigate to Employee Groups
Go to Territories → Employee Groups in the left sidebar.
Add new group
Click + New Employee Group (top-right button).
Fill in the form
Complete the group details:| Field | Description | Example |
|---|
| Employee Group Name | A descriptive name for this group | ”Enterprise Account Executive” |
| Title Keywords | Keywords to look for in job titles | ”Account Executive”, “Enterprise AE” |
| Description Keywords | Keywords to look for in job descriptions | ”Enterprise”, “Strategic accounts” |
Save
Click Save. The employee group is now created and will begin matching against contact and job data across your territories.
How Matching Works
PG:AI searches across contacts and job postings for your territory accounts, looking for matches against your title keywords and description keywords. When a match is found, that person or role is counted in the employee group for that account.
This gives you a per-account headcount for each group - e.g. “Harness has 4 Enterprise Account Executives” or “Collibra has 12 MEDDPICC-related roles.”
Managing Employee Groups
The Employee Groups settings page shows all groups in a table:
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Group Name | The name you gave the employee group |
| Job Titles | Title keywords configured for this group (shown as tags) |
| Keywords | Description keywords configured for this group (shown as tags) |
| Created at | When the group was created |
- Click any group to edit its keywords.
- Use the search bar to filter groups by name.
Using Employee Groups in Territory Settings
Employee groups appear in your territory’s Enriched Columns settings (Territory Settings → Enriched Columns) with the type “Employee groups”. Toggle them on to include employee group data in territory views and scoring.
For example, from the enriched columns panel:
- “Pipeline Generation” - Employee groups - Included: ON
- “Enterprise Account Executive” - Employee groups - Included: OFF
Only groups toggled on will contribute data to this territory’s views and scoring models.
Using Employee Groups in Scoring Models
Employee group counts can be used as inputs to scoring model rules. For example:
- “If Pipeline Generation employee group count > 5, add 15 points”
- “Baseline rule for Pipeline Generation - Employee group” (as shown in scoring model ruleset weights)
See the Scoring Models setup guide for details.
Common Configurations
Buying committee groups:
| Group Name | Title Keywords | Description Keywords |
|---|
| Enterprise Account Executive | Account Executive, AE, Enterprise Sales | Enterprise, Strategic |
| MEDDIC / MEDDPICC | MEDDPIC, MEDDPICC | Sales methodology |
| CoM & CoS | Command of the…, Command c… | Command of message, Command of sale |
Departmental groups:
| Group Name | Title Keywords | Description Keywords |
|---|
| Pipeline Generation | Pipeline, BDR, SDR | Pipeline generation, Lead generation |
| Total Employees | (broad keywords) | (broad keywords) |
Keep group names short and descriptive. Use multiple keywords per group to catch variations (e.g. “CRO”, “Chief Revenue Officer”, “Chief revenue” for the same role).
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|
| Employee group shows 0 matches for all accounts | Keywords too specific or contact data not enriched | Broaden keywords or run contact enrichment |
| Group not appearing in territory enriched columns | Group not yet included | Go to Territory Settings → Enriched Columns and toggle the group on |
| Too many false positive matches | Keywords too broad | Narrow keywords - use exact title matches rather than generic terms |
| Employee group data not feeding into scoring | Group not enabled in enriched columns for this territory | Toggle on in Territory Settings → Enriched Columns |
