Helping clients recruit to develop exceptional teams

The very best candidates are not always actively looking for roles.  If you want to make sure that you find the very best talent for your team then our head-hunting approach to recruitment will help you do that.

We understand your roles as we are analysts turned recruiters focussed in our key areas of Location Planning, Property and Economic Research, GIS, Consumer Insight and related Sales/Account Management roles.

We offer a range of options for your recruitment needs from retained searches (You pay up front) to contingency (We are the sole recruiter, and you don’t pay until the candidate starts) searches.

Contact us so we can explain how we can help you find the very best talent.

Benefits of using Insight Talent Solutions

We gain a deep understanding of the role

We spend time understanding the specific requirements of the role, the structure and function of the wider team as well as the culture of the team and wider organisation.

We cover the full spectrum of grade requirement

Our investment in talent starts early – from engaging with current undergraduates looking to get into an analytical career, to Senior Departmental Heads and Directors wishing to seek a fresh new challenge.

We favour quality over quantity

Wouldn’t it be great to only have to interview one or two candidates to find the ideal hire? This can be possible. We recognise that the hiring process is time consuming and so we will deliver a limited number of quality, vetted candidates to you. We are analysts at heart and monitor every assignment in relation to key metrics such as % of CVs to first interview and % to second interview.

We are owner managed

The founding directors are the lead recruiters and whoever you are engaged with will be leading the whole engagement and representing the opportunity.

We do have a research team who support us on the candidates search, but the directors are tasked with speaking to potential candidates.

We are prolific industry networkers

Our clear focus on analytics talent means that we are exceptionally placed to deliver quality candidates within a few weeks of engagement. Our recruiters are constantly speaking to existing contacts as well as extending our reach with new contacts in the analytics field. We have an exceptional handle on who is currently active in the market. This is why our candidate database is the best in the market.

We have a strong 'technical' radar

We recognise that generalist recruiters are not always able to ask probing questions around candidates’ technical understanding. With more than 50 years’ experience working as analysts and senior hiring managers in analytics functions for a range of client-side and consulting businesses we are able to ask the right questions of the candidates to identify those who are particularly suited to the role.

We have a flexible engagement model

We understand that different clients have a variety of internal resources and approaches to the recruitment process. Some wish to completely outsource the search to ourselves on a retained basis, others may wish to engage with us on a contingency fee basis. We are completely flexible and aim to integrate seamlessly with your existing processes as appropriate.

We provide a range of additional value-add services

We don’t just provide you with candidates, where required, we provide a range of other services to support your recruitment efforts, including:

  • Creation of the job specification.
  • Advice on the interview process.
  • Determining the most appropriate grade/salary for the role.
  • Bi-annual salary survey with which to benchmark your team
  • Coaching support to help with new starters or existing team members
  • Technical training to ensure your team have the best skills
