Business Insight Reports

Good business insight enables smarter working

From our freshly research data on key contacts and organisations who are recruiting we provide a range of bespoke reports covering Employment, New In Post and On the Move Trends by sector, region, time period and job roles

Since we communicate and sell to people rather than the organisations they work for, the state of the information about individuals is particularly important.

This type of data is the most perishable, typically decaying at up to 70% per year, people’s lives evolve continuously – they change jobs or titles, move up, down, sideways or onwards. Companies go bust, merge, grow, shrink, split and relocate.

Acquisitions and mergers happen, spin-offs and new divisions appear and company names change.

Keeping on top of all of this is a massive challenge but the outcomes of all sorts of activities including sales, marketing, customer service and business prospects generally depend heavily on it.

The data held by most organisations about people, other than their own staff, will usually have a focus on current or lapsed customers, partner firms and previous business leads.

For most B2B sales and marketing campaigns however, the objective is to find NEW customers, so the acquisition of external data from reputable sources to power these activities is a key issue.

At its worst, if you choose the wrong BI supplier you could end up with expensive, unfocused and out-of-date information that doesn’t help you at all – data that could even damage your position and reputation.
