HIRING SERVICE: Benchmarking Research Project

Does the Talent I Want Really Exist?

Ever wonder if the Success Factor Snapshot you've developed for a key hire is realistic?

How many of your competitors hold this identical role with similar expectations?

A Benchmarking Research Project answers these questions and more. We'll screen targeted candidates doing the same job for which you would like to hire a top performer. We'll give you profiles of similar candidates working for your direct competitors or comparable companies.

Imagine being able to collect competitive information on the goals and objectives your competitors set for similar jobs.

Imagine being able to have detailed answers to these questions: What's the compensation? Are there other rewards? How do these other high-impact players contribute to the success of your competitors?

What if you could possess an organizational chart of your toughest competitors? Who are their game-breakers? Do you lose contracts, bids, and other opportunities because your competitors have better talent in key roles?

In addition to collecting competitive information about the objectives and goals of top performers in like companies, the Benchmarking Research Project gives you the concrete information on the difficulty involved in recruiting top talent for a critical opening. What will your investment need to be in effort, time, search fees, strategies, and other costs to acquire a comparable level of talent to those of your competitors?

Ask us to put together a custom quote on a Benchmarking Research Project for your specific role or competitive research. STOP letting your competitors beat you in the marketplace by hiring and retaining better performers than those on your team.

Hiring Management IMPACT of a Benchmarking Research Project

If you want to win at the talent wars, you've got to be armed with the latest competitive information about critical roles in your business segment and at your competitors. Not having this information is like going into battle without knowing your enemy's strengths and whether you'll be able to withstand their probing and attacks against you.

As the coach of a high school sports team, you wouldn't think of entering into an important game or state play-off without scouting your competition. You would want to know how your key players match up against their key players. You would want to understand their strategies and tactics. For a particular game, are you "matching-up" properly with the people they've assigned to different roles?

Why should the ultimate success of your business be any different than the examples from generals on the battlefield or high school coaches?

Below is the chart from our book You're NOT the Person I Hired and popular workshop. This chart can be found in the Chapter titled "How to Attract the Bottom Third of the Candidate Pool."

How are your competitors consistently able to attract Selective and Sleeper candidates when all you're seeing are the Aggressives?

Which strategies and tactics do they use to hire and retain top talent?

Before competing effectively, you've got to collect this information. Why do these comparable top performers stay at your competitors? What took them there in the first place?

Are they Selectives or Sleepers?

Can you offer a similar compelling story to attract these top performers?

Testimonials for the Hiring Service: Benchmarking Research Project

"We had no idea what comparable roles to our new Division General Manager position paid. We had no idea what type of expectations our competitors set for a similar role. We also had no idea how difficult a search would be to find and extract a top-level person for our position. The Benchmarking Research Project answered all those questions. We're able to put together a competitive compensation package and accurately define expectations."

"Every time we turned around, it seemed like the other 4-5 competitors in our marketplace were beating us. We were the last to achieve price increases, implement marketing programs, and execute against sales initiatives. We started losing key sales, both on new accounts and existing customers. In addition, we had a few key defections to our competitors. IMPACT Hiring Solutions conducted a Benchmarking Research Project that demonstrated we had significant compensation gaps with our competitors and key cultural issues we needed to solve before we could attract key players. We also discovered that our team was not as strong as the teams at a few of our key competitors."

P.W., Division President
