Salary benchmarking
What the role actually pays in your market right now, by seniority and location.
Services
Know what you are hiring into before you hire
Most failed searches were mispriced or mis-scoped at the briefing stage. We provide the market evidence — availability, salary reality, and competitor movement — that prevents it.
What we can tell you
Research delivered as a document you can act on, not a conversation you have to remember.
Talent mapping
Who holds the skill set, where they sit today, and how reachable they realistically are.
Competitor insight
How comparable organisations structure, title, and package the same function.
Employer brand review
How your adverts, process, and candidate experience read from the outside.
How we work
The same process on every assignment
You always know what stage the search is at and what happens next, whichever service you engage us for.
01
Brief
We agree the must-haves, the realistic market rate, and what success looks like at twelve months.
02
Calibrate
A first small batch of profiles confirms we have read the brief the way you meant it.
03
Search
Direct approach into passive talent, not just the people already answering adverts.
04
Screen
Competency and motivation screening against the brief, with written notes on every candidate.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Talk to a consultantCan we buy advisory without running a search with you?
Yes. Benchmarking and mapping are sold as standalone pieces of work with a fixed fee and a fixed delivery date. There is no obligation to run the resulting hire through us.
Where does the salary data come from?
Live offers and accepted packages from our own placements, plus current market advertising. It reflects what people are actually being paid now, which is usually ahead of published survey data.
How long does a mapping exercise take?
Typically two to three weeks depending on the breadth of the market and the seniority of the role.
Not sure the role is priced right?
A benchmarking exercise costs a fraction of a failed search — and takes a fortnight.
