What decision are you preparing to make?

Choose an area according to the question you need answered. Where useful, we combine all three into one assignment.

Salary Research

What compensation should we offer?

Set a budget that reflects the role and the market.

Whether you are opening a position, reviewing an offer or planning a team, salary research helps you assess how competitive your compensation package is.

What we research

  • Compensation for comparable responsibilities, experience levels and locations.
  • Advertised ranges, candidate expectations and actual compensation data where available.
  • Bonuses, benefits and working conditions that influence the offer.
  • Differences by sector, specialism and working arrangement.

What you receive

An analysis of observed ranges and an assessment of your proposed package. We identify changes to budget, requirements or working conditions that could improve its competitiveness.

How to interpret the findings

We distinguish advertised compensation, expectations and confirmed data. We specify gross or net amounts, the relevant pay period and whether variable compensation is included.

Labour Market Mapping

Where will we recruit, and who will we compete with?

Decide where and how to focus your recruitment.

When entering a new region or seeking scarce expertise, market mapping shows which employers are looking for similar people and how they present their opportunities.

What we research

  • Hiring activity for selected roles, sectors and regions.
  • Employers competing for similar expertise.
  • Common requirements, working conditions and disclosed compensation.
  • The geographic distribution of observed demand.
  • Changes over time where comparable historical data exists.

What you receive

A structured view of the observed market and its implications for your hiring: where to focus, how to position your opportunity and which assumptions to revisit.

How to interpret the findings

We distinguish published advertisements, individual vacancies and confirmed hires. We account for repeated postings and limitations in source coverage.

Talent Pool Assessment

How realistic is our target profile?

Test your requirements against the expertise the market offers.

When a role combines specific experience, qualifications, language and location, we assess how those requirements affect the potential pool of relevant professionals.

What we research

  • Essential requirements and areas where flexibility is possible.
  • Potentially relevant professionals within the agreed scope.
  • The distribution of expertise across regions and sectors.
  • Adjacent profiles and transferable skills.
  • Requirements that most sharply restrict your hiring options.

What you receive

An assessment of the potential talent pool, its supporting evidence and data limitations. We suggest ways to widen the search through changes to the profile, location or working conditions.

How to interpret the findings

An identified professional is not a confirmed candidate. Interest, availability and readiness to move require a separate conversation when that validation is included in the assignment.
