PierceGray supports clients through our Market Mapping service offering, designed to give you a comprehensive view of the candidate landscape before committing to a full-scale executive search. This allows our clients to gain valuable insights into target talent markets, including volume by market segment and key industry trends, helping to inform strategic talent decisions in advance of launching a search.
Market Mapping can be used to inform several key talent decisions at major inflection points:
- During pre-deal talent diligence to accelerate post-deal leadership transitions.
- As a precursor to a full-scale executive search to inform role titling, scope, compensation, or location.
- As part of on-going leadership succession planning to evaluate talent pipelines.
We are offering this type of engagement through two options:
Market Map
- Parameters: Defined candidate pool with specific target companies (25-75 candidates)
- Process: PierceGray delivers a summary of the talent market, including identified targets, associated company, experience level and background. Typically, a 1-3 week effort dependent upon complexity.
Market Map & Assessment
- Parameters: Defined candidate pool with specific target companies (25-75 candidates)
- Process: PierceGray executes the Market Map, and initiates confidential outreach to target candidates, conducting initial phone screens to understand general interest and alignment, experience and compensation. Typically, a 3-6 week effort dependent upon complexity.
The fee structure will be determined by the client need, including size and complexity of the target candidate pool, based on the project criteria outlined at project kickoff. If a formal search of similar scope is launched within six months of the market map, the flat fee is credited to the search fee.
