What the team does

People where people add most

6 Group’s executive research and talent intelligence team delivers search research every day, for Savannah Group and 6 Group clients. With MapX doing the desk research, they spend their time on the work only people can do: approaching candidates, testing a brief with the market and bringing back what leaders actually think.

Teams use research services when a role is confidential, when the shortlist needs first conversations before it goes to the hiring manager, or when a talent intelligence question needs judgement as well as data. Everything comes back into MapX and as a report in your brand, so it sits alongside the rest of your research.

How it works

Credits on your licence

Every MapX licence can include research credits. You spend them per role or per project, when you need them, with no separate procurement and no retainer. A researcher is assigned to your role, works from the same MapX data as your team, and reports back in the format you already use.
