Talent Flow Mapping

When the head chef at the restaurant down the street quietly updates her LinkedIn profile, that is a signal. When a competitor's best salesperson joins a new firm across town, that is a signal. When three employees from the same shop mark themselves as open to work in the same month, something is happening inside that business — and it is almost always visible in the data before it surfaces in any conversation you will have with them.

Executive search firms and activist investment funds have tracked talent movement as a competitive and investment signal for years. The public data that powers this — LinkedIn activity, job posting patterns, professional network changes — has always been available. What has changed is the ability to monitor it systematically, continuously, and filtered to the specific businesses and roles that matter for your competitive situation.

We set up monitoring of staff movement at competitors, key suppliers, and other relevant players in your market — tailored to your business and what you need to know. We alert you when a competitor shows signs of internal instability, when a key person becomes available, or when the competitive landscape is shifting in ways only visible in people patterns.

We translate those signals into a clear picture of what is likely happening inside the businesses that affect yours.
