Talent intelligence, beyond org intelligence.
Our org intelligence work reconstructs how a company is built. These services apply the same independent data foundation to two further questions: where to grow next, and where to find the talent others cannot.
Location Strategy
Choose where to grow next, with confidence.
Where to build, expand, or consolidate is a high-stakes bet that locks in your cost structure and talent strategy for years. Most available data comes from sources with a vested interest in your decision, economic development agencies and the like. Ours does not: it informs, it does not persuade. Trusted by Fortune Global 500 companies.
Choose the depth that fits the decision in front of you, from a fast market scan to a fully weighted location decision or an always-on retainer.
Market Scan
- Regional or global scan to identify candidate cities
- High-level talent availability & demand
- Talent cost
- Key trend highlights
Location Decision
- Deep-dive comparison of 4 to 6 cities
- Fully weighted, customizable decision model
- Competition mapping & talent-flow analysis
- Stakeholder alignment support
Strategic Retainer
- Multiple location decisions per year
- Monthly dashboard with competitor alerts
- 72-hour rapid response on urgent questions
- Continuous ad-hoc advisory
The decision model is fully customizable. Cities are scored across the criteria that matter to you, employer factors such as talent availability, cost, competition and time to fill; employee factors such as quality of living, salary and purchasing power; and culture fit. You set the weightings and choose which criteria to add or remove. The data reveals the winners.
Talent Mapping & Flow
Uncover the talent pools others cannot find.
Most sourcing looks where everyone else is looking. We make talent flow visible instead, tracing how people actually move: role to role, company to company, and location to location. Those movement patterns reveal hidden pools, the adjacent roles, feeder companies, and cities that standard search and job boards rarely surface.
Useful for hard-to-fill and scarce roles, competitive hiring, and as direct evidence for build-versus-buy and location decisions.
Hidden talent pools
Adjacent roles and feeder companies your competitors overlook, surfaced from real movement patterns rather than keyword matches.
Role-to-role flow
The common career moves into a target role, so you know which backgrounds actually convert.
Company-to-company flow
Where your target talent comes from and where it goes, including who is gaining and losing people to whom.
Location-to-location flow
How talent migrates between cities, evidence for where to recruit, and where to build.
Workforce & People Analytics
Skills-based workforce planning, recruitment strategy, and people analytics, backed by a strong, data-based narrative your board can defend. The same data foundation, applied to the wider people decisions leadership teams face.
Workforce planning
Skills-based workforce planning and organization design benchmarking, so targets are grounded in market reality, not aspiration.
Recruitment strategy
Where scarce talent sits, what it costs, and who is competing for it, paired with the talent-flow work above to reach hidden pools.
People analytics
Workforce analytics and a clear, data-based narrative to support hiring, planning, and board reporting.
