Sextant Research is an informed, strategic, proprietary market exploration methodology designed to uncover the quickest routes to the strongest candidates in the market. We combine market intelligence, targeted candidate data generation, pipeline development and sourcing strategy into a potent offering that assists our clients with their own search and selection process. In brief, we build your candidate pool for you.
1. Competitive Intelligence
Sextant Research can collect and organize information about your industry and your competitors that can impact your company’s operations, inform your strategic planning and help you to maintain your competitive edge.
2. Talent Identification
Before you can hire top candidates, you first need to know who they are, where they are and what they do. Sextant Research can help you to map your target markets, and identify the key players from each company in them.
3. Pipeline Development
During slow business cycles, many companies might not be in a position to hire immediately but still wish to be kept abreast of top candidates as they surface. Our clients want to be ready to strike when the time is right. Sextant Research will work with our clients to determine ideal candidate profiles and corporate value proposition, and will contact suitable candidates to gauge skill and interest levels. We can assemble a database of the best talent for our clients to engage directly if they wish. Sextant Research will provide detailed profiles on those qualified candidates who have expressed an interest in our client’s opportunity.
Ultimately, Sextant Research is an ideal solution for companies that….
- are interested in keeping abreast of “who’s who” in a particular market or industry but do not wish to engage them…yet.
- are not be positioned to hire but have the foresight to develop a talent pipeline and need to know who to contact.
- have existing staffing needs and have a mature, effective recruitment team in place that doesn’t need help to present candidates to hiring managers or to close them.
- don’t have the budget or approval for a full Sextant Search, but still require some help with the “heavy lifting” and can hand off the research we generate to other, more appropriate, agents to execute against.
