Putting Intelligence in Research

The field of recruitment research (firms) is evolving and Reveal Global Intelligence is proud to be altering the DNA in an effort to push this field forward, deepen its roots in the field of recruiting, and issue the challenge of embedding intelligence in any recruitment research that is delivered to a client.

After launching and running one of the first, largest corporate talent sourcing functions in the world, I soon became responsible for the centralized purchase of recruitment research from an array of independent firms.  We purchased roughly $500K per year at the fourth largest bank in the country.  To put things in perspective, the bank had about 5,000 jobs open at any given time, we filled about 32,000 positions per year and our headcount was about 140,000.  So, the research purchased by my sourcing team augmented the results of the 55 sourcers we had on staff.  In summary, I enjoyed the great benefit of learning the keys to delight vs. disappointment when purchasing external research.

Given the experience as a corporate SVP responsible for a large sourcing team and, now, the founder and managing principal of Reveal, I’d like to offer the following view of the different strata and flavors of recruitment research (as well as some guidance on how to ensure your purchase of research is smart and well-informed).
