Talent Intelligence & Market Mapping
Know what the market actually looks like before you commit to a hiring plan.
Overview
What this is.
Structured research into a talent market: where the people are, which organisations they work for, how teams are structured, what compensation genuinely is, and whether the plan you've built is achievable.
Most hiring plans are constructed from internal assumptions and then tested — expensively — against reality. This service inverts that. It is bought before the roles are opened, and it is frequently the difference between a plan that works and a year of open requisitions.
When organisations engage us
Four situations we see most.
Evaluating a new location
Considering Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune or Chennai for a new centre and needing to know which has the depth.
Planning a build-out
Understanding whether 40 verification engineers in twelve months is realistic before you commit.
Compensation is misaligned
Offers being rejected, and you need to know whether the band or the pitch is the problem.
Competitor intelligence
Understanding how a competitor structures a function, and how large it is.
