Talent & Skill Insights
In strategic talent acquisition, it is becoming ever more important to rely on valid market data rather than gut feeling: How available are specific skills? How willing is the target group to change jobs? Which compensation levels are realistic? And which regions or industries are genuine talent hotspots?
There are countless tools and data sources – but sheer volume is no substitute for interpretation. fortalent works with leading providers of current market data and combines this information with a practitioner’s perspective: professionally aggregated, realistically interpreted and tailored to your question.
Let’s discuss your requirements
Current market data from the DACH region (Austria, Germany, Switzerland)
The following data provides key signals for a sound talent strategy:
- Hiring data: salary and compensation trends, demand volume by location, demand volume by function, time-to-hire metrics
- Supply and demand: candidate availability by skill set, geographical distribution of talent, emerging talent markets
- Skills data: in-demand skills by function, skills gap analysis, emerging skills trends, skills taxonomy and mapping, skill adjacencies
- Employer brand: company reputation metrics, sentiment analysis of employee reviews, employer brand comparisons with competitors, employer value proposition, employee engagement and perception
Drawing on these sources, we deliver aggregated analyses tailored to your company:
- Executive summaries as a basis for decisions on workforce planning and budgeting
- Overview of candidate markets (supply/demand, skill availability, competitive landscape)
- Compensation insights (ranges, package structures, market realism)
- Willingness to change jobs and target-group readiness (what is achievable – and how?)
- Recommendations for personnel search strategy, targeting and process design
This turns insights into a practical basis for management: realistic hiring plans, compelling business cases and better recruiting decisions.
