HR Data
& Insights

 

We pride ourselves on knowing our markets exceptionally well; our market intelligence solutions empower you to keep on top of themes, compensation trends and industry regulations.

By commissioning a Colebrooke market analysis project (MAP) or Individual Due Diligence report, you will gain exclusive market intelligence on competitors or specific individuals, via bespoke insights and analysis on specific areas of interest, individual business plans, or the industry as a whole.

A market analysis project is a bespoke research document, commissioned to help you make informed and risk-weighted strategic decisions. Our thorough, precise MAPs give you an in-depth understanding of the HR Financial Services market landscape and the factors influencing a range of topics.

 

This could focus on compensation, competitor analysis, diversity trends, geographies, headcount, operating models, performance assessment, HR staff benchmarking, budgets, partnerships or strategic market analysis. We can look at specific competitors, or the industry as a whole, depending on your requirements.

02

The strength and depth of our financial services network means we know the HR business leaders available today – and those that will become available tomorrow.

 

Talent in the HR executive interim market has never been stronger, and competition can be fierce. Working practices are shifting and organizations are working to embed resilience and future-proof themselves against upheaval. The finest leaders are adapting to this fast-changing landscape.

That’s where we come in. Our reach extends across the entire market. As well as exceptional interim talent, our close collaboration with our executive search colleagues also brings in permanent candidates that are moving on and willing to take on shorter term assignments.

 

Sometimes a change in strategy or a new program of work simply necessitates change. We tailor our approach to your mandate. And we will secure you the best HR talent in the executive interim market.
