FAQs

  • What is recruitment market intelligence?
    Hiring intelligence (or talent/recruitment intelligence) enables companies to source data and gain actionable insights about the job market, candidate availability, and competitor activities, facilitating informed decision-making in the recruitment process.
  • Who is recruitment market intelligence for?
    We find hiring intelligence is useful for anyone involved in financial decision-making, people management, and recruitment teams. Dependent on the requirements needed, recruitment market intelligence is useful for a variety of professionals, such as CEOs, MDs, Heads of Recruitment, Finance Directors, Procurement Officers or CIOs.
  • Where does the data come from?
    Using a combination of our own recruitment data, paid-for data partners, publicly available market insights and the knowledge of our recruitment experts, we build bespoke overviews of the compensation and benefits required to attract the best talent. All data collated is internally checked to ensure maximum validity.
  • Can I see an example of a market intelligence report?
  • How bespoke are the services?
    When it comes to our market intelligence services, no two projects are the same meaning all our reports are bespoke. Upon your enquiry, we will have a call to understand your hiring intelligence needs and business problem. We will then construct a methodology on how best to fix this issue and deliver our suggestions. We can break-down our data down into several categories: company size, industry, location, sector, and job title. If the data is available, we can tailor this to meet your requirements. If we do not believe we can offer you the services you need, we make you aware of this upon our first call.
  • What is the approximate cost of the services?
    Our cost is completely dependent on how many person-hours delivery will take. We have a team of in-house analysts who will provide accurate quotations upon discussing your bespoke hiring intelligence requirements.

  • What are the benefits of using a salary benchmarking guide?​

  • When is the best time to negotiate my pay?​
    Pay reviews often take place during the annual and half-year employee performance review periods. Make sure you take this into consideration and time your negotiation right.
