The value of market mapping

Search begins by understanding where expertise actually sits.

The perspective

Onix Recruitment / journal

A narrow specialist market is not always visible through job boards. Market mapping brings together relevant companies, disciplines, locations and career pathways before outreach starts.

It can reveal adjacent experience that a rigid title search would miss, and expose constraints in a brief before too much time has passed.

For hard-to-fill roles, thoughtful research is not a preliminary administrative task. It is part of the search itself.

Key considerations

01Explore adjacent disciplines
02Locate concentrated expertise
03Test the brief against the market
