Talent Flow Analysis

Who joins you.
Who leaves. And where to.

An analysis of public career histories that shows which companies you recruit your people from and which you lose them to: by industry, company size and job group, over up to ten years.

What it is about

You compete
for talent
differently than for customers.

Every person you hire comes from somewhere. Every person you lose goes somewhere.

The Talent Flow Analysis makes these movements visible and answers three questions.

01

Who are you competing with for skilled staff?

It is rarely the companies you compete with for orders. The analysis shows who you recruit people from and who you lose them to.

02

Where are you losing more than you gain?

By industry and job group, you see where the balance tips. Often in areas nobody had been watching.

03

What should your pay be measured against?

If you know where your people move to, you know the benchmark your pay and development opportunities have to meet.

Example 3The job groupsA separate page for each job group: where people came from, where they went and how large those companies are.
Example 4The interpretationA key question for your company on every finding: on retention, pay, talent pipeline and employer image.

Frequently asked questions

Talent Flow Analysis
in detail.

What is the Talent Flow Analysis based on?

On publicly available career histories of people who work or have worked for you, supplemented by information from company announcements. Our research team checks each career history individually and classifies previous and subsequent employers by industry and size.

Will we learn which individuals have moved?

No. The analysis shows which companies and industries people join you from and where they go. It contains no information on individuals.

Which companies is the analysis suited to?

For mid-sized companies that want to know where they stand in the competition for skilled staff: for example before a pay review, when expanding a site or when more people are leaving.
