What market mapping is

Market mapping gives you a realistic picture of who exists in the market — before you decide whether, when, or how to hire.

Unlike search, mapping is insight-first. No outreach is required unless explicitly requested. The output is clarity, not applications.

Common use cases

  • Assessing feasibility before launching a hire
  • Expansion planning into new teams or regions
  • Competitor benchmarking and team structure analysis
  • Compensation and seniority calibration
  • Internal headcount and succession planning

Target firm mapping

Relevant firms and teams mapped by strategy, size, geography, and mandate — filtered for realism, not aspiration.

Candidate universe

Public-profile mapping of professionals by role, seniority, sector exposure, and background — no outreach unless requested.

Market signals

Observed hiring patterns, mobility trends, compensation expectations, and realistic timelines for execution.

Process

How mapping engagements run

Lean, confidential, and designed to answer specific strategic questions — not to generate generic reports.

1. Scope definition

Role parameters, seniority bands, geography, and strategic objective defined upfront.

2. Market build

Target firms, teams, and candidate pools mapped using proprietary research methods.

3. Insight delivery

Structured outputs and interpretation — what is feasible, what is not, and why.

Next step

Get clarity before you hire

If you are unsure whether a hire is feasible, or want to understand the market first, mapping is the cleanest starting point.
