Competitor Intelligence



Search clients may retain us exclusively to map markets on their behalf. This often includes full mapping for an agreed list of targeted banks or partnership structures in firms.

This generally involves not only the composition of the team but also detailed biographies of the individuals, products traded or trading floor organization, layout and structure.

This service is generally commissioned when a client company plans a major launch or restructure and wants a compressive ‘plan of attack’ to ensure numbers of staff can be simultaneously attracted on an organised planned and managed basis. We have extensive experience in the complex task at moving entire teams or practice groups.

We have also been commissioned to provide detailed compensation and benefit surveys and bonus expectations and our daily interaction with candidates and clients places us in a unique position to provide authoritative data. Confidentially is always fully respected.
