Our retained search professionals have deep recruiting expertise, credibility with passive candidates, grit, and innovative sourcing and research skills. By design, Katalyst Group has very few "hands-off" restrictions. These capabilities allow us to find and engage the most elusive, highly sought technical and leadership talent in the world.

Sometimes clients don't have the bandwidth or expertise to conduct their own market investigations. Sample engagements have included: competitive landscape analysis, org mapping, compensation surveys, talent benchmarking (internal vs marketplace), real estate reports highlighting attractive features of HQ locations (e.g. real estate prices, local arts/entertainment, schools, walkability), and a summary of creative perks for attracting and retaining tech talent.

Do you want to know how your competitor has structured their sales department? Are you launching a new business line and need to understand the competitive landscape?

The best time to grow and cultivate your talent pool is BEFORE you need it. That's where talent pipelining can prove valuable. Whether you've got an open call for diverse executive talent, data science experts, or you're struggling to attract senior technical women, we can explore our extensive talent databases as well as conduct original research to provide you with informational profiles, pre-screening summaries, full-fledged candidate reports, and/or introductions.

This approach allows you to keep your finger on the pulse of the relevant talent pools in a flexible pricing model.

The CORNERSTONE of everything we do.

Our researchers are salaried KG employees who are highly trained in advanced online and offline research methodologies. They are tireless in their efforts to find top talent and market intel.

They're involved in project kickoffs, client updates, interviews, trainings, industry events, and general business operations which builds business acumen and ensures the accuracy and relevance of their work.

Do you have critical roles that need a constant pipeline of new candidates? An important role you need to fill without full-cycle support or fees? Does your TA team need a boost to their momentum

Services include candidate ID, name generation, executive search research, and ad hoc projects.

Consulting projects are perfect for companies with strong in-house talent departments who need to turbo charge selected areas of their people strategy. Representative consulting engagements include advanced research skills training of in-house Talent Acquisition teams, succession planning and organizational design, professional and personal brand surveys, building Diversity & Inclusion programs, designing recruitment marketing collateral, and creating onboarding programs.

As an extension of your internal Talent Acquisition department, we can lend recruiting and research bench strength to your team to allow you to scale and flex to reflect changing company needs.

Much of a company's success is fueled by the talent sitting at the Director, Manager or Associate level. Often a full-fledged retained search isn't warranted for filling these roles, but getting the right person in the seat is still mission-critical. That's where our Emerging Leaders Practice really adds value. We've cultivated relationships with up-and-comers who we know will be game-changers and future leaders. We offer a reduced fee model for these introductions.
