Market Mapping offers our clients a customized and comprehensive analysis of the candidate landscape within their industry. This includes a confidential assessment of available talent, along with a transparent methodology tailored to your hiring requirements in the present business climate.
While typically recommended as a preliminary step before embarking on a retained search, this solution can also be pursued independently. It enables companies to gain valuable insights without causing disruptions in the market, and it can be executed separately without any further obligations.
We utilize in-depth market intelligence and conduct a confidential analysis of talent pools, which enables us to assess what available talent is suitable. This process reveals the big picture to our clients, saving time, money, and mitigating risk.
We are market mapping specialists for the executive search industry – whether you are an executive search firm or an in-house executive search team. We work with you to understand the position, scope, geography, seniority, and to define a market mapping strategy. The way we approach the market is simple – understand where the talent relevant for your role exists and then identify it.
We work across industries and functions. Our researchers are experts in over 120 industries and all organizational functions.
It’s not limited to online research. We pick up the phone when necessary and fill the gap to provide you with a comprehensive picture of talent for the role at hand. You can then choose to contact your preferred candidates.
What you get:
We present you with the names, titles, and organizations of all relevant candidates within the specified list of agreed upon target organizations and geography. You get a comprehensive report and accurate data on the specific market.
Each market mapping project normally ranges between 1- 8 weeks, where we’ll work in collaboration to determine specific elements or pain-points that an organization would like to focus on. Besides conducting in-depth research and analysis to review all insights gathered, the final report offers insights covering all findings gathered.
We are true partners with you in your search and we make our brains work. We fully understand the job and we think outside the box to bring a fresh perspective on who would do the job.
What we don't do:
We believe the executive search firm is well positioned in the market to contact the candidates and not us.
We don’t contact candidates, nor conduct pre-screening. We don’t speak with candidates. We simply present you with the list of candidates you can readily contact.
For Retained Executive Search, a systematic approach to market, methodologically mapping all relevant candidates is the only pathway to a successful placement.
It also helps you to be certain that, as a specific need arises, the perfect candidate does in fact exist in the market. Market mapping is relevant if there are plans to expand or launch into a new market or geographical location and want to understand the local talent pool, before deciding whether to conduct a Retained Search locally or relocate talent from existing markets.
If you’re looking for a hard-to-fill task or niche role, market mapping can be an excellent tool to help you narrow your pools and identify potential matches.
Below are some real-life case studies in which we have been able to provide value to organizations through market mapping.
We are not an executive search firm. So, there is no competition with us and there is no conflict of interest. We are a service provider to executive search firms, Boards, C-suite executives and in-house talent acquisition teams.
We stay with you throughout the search. We never handover a bunch of names and disappear.
You could consider engaging us in one or more scenarios:
We work with major executive search firms, medium-sized search firms, small search firms, independent search consultants, boutique search firms in the US, Europe and Asia.
With large corporates, we work with Boards, CEOs, CHROs and other key decision makers. In the US, we work with 28% of S&P 500 companies, 15% of Euronext 100 companies, 19% of FTSE 100 companies and 22% of S&P Europe 350 companies.
We have two pricing options – we either charge by the hour or charge by the project. Speak with us to determine what works best for you. Either way, this stays below 15% of your total search fee for an assignment.
