Candidate research, mapping and market insight
Clear insight and early groundwork that saves you hours and strengthens your searches

 

Research, mapping and market insight

 

Effective research is the foundation of every strong search. It shapes your understanding of the market, guides your outreach and gives you the confidence to speak with authority in front of clients. When you are busy or stretched, this early stage work can be the first thing to slip. That is where I step in.

​

You get structured research, thoughtful mapping and clear early stage insight delivered quietly in the background so you can move faster with better information and a stronger position with clients.

What this support helps you achieve

 

A clearer picture of the market
You start every search with well organised information that helps you make better decisions and speak confidently with clients.

​

Hours of time saved
No more losing evenings or weekends to groundwork. Research is carried out independently and delivered ready to use clients.

​

Warmer, more informed conversations
Outreach and early contact steps are prepared so you can move into calls and shortlists with greater clarity.

​

A stronger reputation with clients

Clean, well presented insight makes you look credible, prepared and in control of the search from day one.

What is included

 

Rather than listing tasks, here is what you can expect in practice.

​

• Thorough research tailored to the brief
• Clear mapping of sectors, roles, geographies and seniorities
• Early stage outreach or screening where required
• Shortlists or longlists presented in a clean, client friendly format
• Insights and observations that help you advise your client with confidence
• Thoughtful judgement that comes from experience across multiple markets

​

Everything is produced in a structured and digestible format so you can lift it straight into your client conversations or internal workflow.

How this fits into your workflow

 

This is support that works quietly alongside you.
You share the brief, context and expectations.
The groundwork is carried out independently.
You stay informed at the right moments, without micromanaging any step.

​

Your time and energy are kept for the high value conversations, while the early stages move ahead smoothly behind the scenes.

Why it is cost effective

​

You get senior level research and insight without adding fixed costs, taking on a new hire or stretching your team beyond capacity. You pay only for the time you need, which means you can increase your bandwidth quickly without committing to long term overhead.

​

​Most search owners tell me they would have had to turn work away or compromise on quality without this option.

Client Experience
