Consulting - Labour Market Research

In a rapidly changing economy, access to relevant, accurate and up-to-date information is essential to making the right resourcing decisions. Bespoke labour market research can provide the vital intelligence your organisation needs to evaluate recruitment feasibility, drive more effective candidate attraction, increase retention and make ongoing performance improvements.

Reed Consulting's Strategic Research Practice has been helping organisations from a wide range of industries and sectors to develop more effective resourcing strategies for many years. We work closely with each client to identify their resourcing requirements and issues and recommend the most appropriate solution for their needs.

This bespoke approach allows our labour market analysis to address the specific concerns of each organisation, and in particular to provide a reliable view of external conditions following a period of uncertainty and upheaval.  Employers have been keen to readdress their understanding of labour market factors in light of these changed circumstances, and particularly as they move back towards a growth phase, focusing on issues including:

• Availability of candidates for niche and specialist roles
• Local conditions supporting or threatening a major recruitment programme
• Attrition risk as job opportunities reemerge
• Opportunities to minimise recruitment costs

Whatever the issues faced, Reed Consulting's labour market analysis is based on the gathering of reliable, applicable and timely data, and using it to generate conclusions and recommendations. 

Labour market analysis is part of Reed Consulting's Strategic Research services.  Our consultants conduct desk and field research, utilise public information sources and draw upon unique data gathered through the Reed organisation’s global network, to provide a range of highly-tailored research and analysis services, including:

• Pay and reward benchmarking
