Plan – Workforce Planning & Market Insights
Our Plan service gives you the visibility and structure to get ahead. Helping you understand what skills you need, where to find them, and what the market really looks like.
Evidence based decision making
The result? Rushed job specs, stretched budgets and a scramble for scarce skills.
It’s the foundation that makes every other stage - Attract, Hire, Embed, and Develop & Retain - more effective.
Most hiring decisions start too late. A role becomes vacant, a project lands, and suddenly you’re in a race to fill a gap.
Our Plan service gives you the visibility and structure to get ahead - helping you understand what skills you need, where to find them, and what the market really looks like.
What holds hiring teams back
- Limited visibility of current salary benchmarks or competitor activity
- Difficulty forecasting future skill needs
- Unclear division between roles to build internally vs hire externally
- Misaligned expectations between HR, hiring managers and finance
- Reactive recruitment driven by urgency rather than strategy
We replace assumptions with data and direction.
