- Talent Market Intelligence
Know the market.
Before you make an offer.
Hiring decisions made on outdated salary data or guesswork about talent supply are expensive to unwind. We turn live European labour-market data into structured intelligence — salary benchmarks, talent supply maps and competitor signals — so you walk into every hiring decision with the facts, not assumptions.
- Salary Benchmarking
- Talent Supply Mapping
- Competitor Intelligence
- Cost Modelling
Decision-ready intelligence, not a generic salary survey.
Generic salary surveys tell you a wide range and leave you to guess where you actually sit. Our market intelligence is built specifically around the roles, levels and countries you're hiring in — combining live market data with our own in-market recruiter network to give you numbers that hold up when you're actually negotiating an offer.
Beyond compensation, we map how deep the available talent pool actually is for a given role and location, what your realistic time-to-hire looks like, and where competing employers are already recruiting from the same pool — so your hiring strategy is built on the real shape of the market, not a head office assumption about it.
What's included
- Country-specific salary benchmarking by role and seniority level
- Talent supply mapping — how deep and how reachable the candidate pool is
- Competitor hiring intelligence in your target markets and disciplines
- Total cost-of-hire modelling, including statutory and on-cost differences by country
- A structured, decision-ready report you can take straight to stakeholders
How it works
From open question to decision-ready report.
Most market intelligence reports are delivered within one to two weeks of scoping.
We scope the roles, levels and markets
A short intake to confirm exactly which roles, seniority levels and countries you need intelligence on, and what decision it needs to support.
1
We mine live market and salary data
Combining structured labour-market data with our own in-market recruiter network to validate figures against what's actually being offered and accepted.
2
We deliver a structured intelligence report
Salary ranges, talent supply, competitor signals and total cost modelling, organised so it's immediately usable rather than a raw data dump.
3
You use it to brief stakeholders and set strategy
The same report becomes the evidence base for budget approval, location strategy or board-level hiring decisions.

Common questions
Before you commission a report
The questions we're most often asked about how our market intelligence is built and used.
Can you help with salary benchmarking?
Yes — country and role-specific salary benchmarking is one of the most requested parts of every market intelligence engagement.
How current is the data you use?
We combine structured market data with live signals from our in-market recruiter network, so figures reflect what's actually happening now, not last year's survey.
Can this cover multiple countries at once?
Yes. Many clients commission a single report comparing several candidate countries side by side before deciding where to hire first.
Do you only provide data, or also recommendations?
Both. Every report includes a structured data set plus a clear recommendation on what it means for your hiring strategy.
