Environmental Scan — Talent Market Mapping & Intelligence
Before you open a search — or decide whether to — a scan tells you what is actually out there: who the credible people are, where they sit today, what they are paid, and how reachable they are. Quietly, without disturbing the market.
Know the market before you move.
Whether you are weighing a critical hire, considering market entry, or refreshing succession planning, an Environmental Scan gives you the picture before you commit. We work confidentially; the target market never knows you are looking.
What a scan can include.
Scope is built to the individual client and mandate. A typical scan maps:
- The viable candidate pool for a defined role or function.
- Where that talent is concentrated geographically — and where you would need to look or open up.
- Compensation context and current market value.
- The competitor landscape: who is building, who is shedding, who holds the people you want.
Standalone — or a head start on search.
Many clients run a scan on its own — for succession planning, market entry, or board-level benchmarking. Others use it as the on-ramp to a retained search, so the search starts already knowing the terrain.
