Choosing where to put a team
And having to defend the choice to people who will remember it.
Market intelligence
Know the market before you hire in it.
Companies pick a market because a board member has been there, or because somebody read an article about Lisbon. Nine months later they find out it was the wrong call. A Talent Market Report answers the question with evidence instead.
What it answers
Where are the people?
Who employs them?
What are they earning?
Who is hiring them?
Who is moving?
Who knows them?
Who can introduce us?
What will this team actually cost?
What you get
Two documents and a conversation. One for the people doing the work, one for the people who were not in the room.
Six page report. Availability, cost, competition, feasibility, recommendation.
Two page board brief. The decision, written to be forwarded.
When it earns its keep
Building a hiring budget
