In a competitive landscape, the best decisions are informed by the best intelligence. Before you commit to a critical hire, enter a new market, or restructure a team, understanding the external talent ecosystem provides a powerful strategic advantage. Who are the high-performers? How are your competitors structured? Where does the best talent reside?
Market Mapping from SKL Executive is a discreet intelligence service that answers these questions. We provide you with a clear and comprehensive map of the talent landscape, empowering you to act with precision and confidence.
Market Mapping is not a search; it is a strategic research project. Our approach is comprehensive and tailored to your specific objectives. Acting with the same level of confidentiality as a full executive search, our senior research team methodically identifies and analyses talent within defined parameters.
We synthesise this intelligence into a clear, actionable report that serves as a strategic asset for your leadership team. Whether used for succession planning, assessing internal talent against external benchmarks, or planning a future search, our market maps provide the clarity needed to mitigate risk and seize opportunity.
Our process is designed to deliver targeted and timely intelligence.
Market mapping is valuable when you are considering a future hire but are not ready to launch a search, planning a new market entry, restructuring a team, benchmarking your internal talent, or building a proactive succession plan.
No. Market Mapping is a pure intelligence-gathering exercise. We identify and analyse talent but do not typically approach individuals about a specific role unless that is an agreed-upon part of the project scope.
The final report is a detailed document that typically includes organisational charts of target companies, profiles of key individuals (including tenure, scope of role, and career history), compensation benchmarks, and our summary analysis of the talent landscape.
A methodical process to appoint key leaders who will take your business to the next level.
Building proactive leadership pipelines to ensure seamless transitions and mitigate risk for critical roles.
Delivering confidential intelligence on talent, structure, and compensation to inform strategic decisions.
Using validated psychometric data to provide objective insights into leadership style, potential, and cultural fit.
Appointing directors who bring the independent judgement and strategic foresight required for effective governance.
