Do I need both reports?

No. Each report works independently. The Mandate Analysis (€500) is perfect if you need pitch preparation and search strategy. The Talent Landscape (€1,000) is ideal when you already have the mandate and need candidate research. Together, they create a seamless workflow from pitch to longlist.

How does the Mandate Analysis feed into the Talent Landscape?

When you order a Talent Landscape, the original job description and context are always used as the primary input. If a Mandate Analysis was previously completed for the same mandate, its insights (candidate profile, target companies, market assessment) are automatically incorporated, resulting in more targeted and relevant candidate recommendations.

How quickly are the reports delivered?

The Mandate Analysis is typically delivered within an hour. The Talent Landscape takes 1–4 hours depending on market complexity. Together, you can go from pitch preparation to a qualified longlist in a single day.

Can I share both reports with my client?

Yes. Both reports come with secure shareable links. The shared views are professional and presentation-ready. Accessible through a secure recipient access code, with no account setup required. Many consultants use the Mandate Analysis in their pitch and the Talent Landscape as the first progress update.

What makes this different from using LinkedIn Recruiter?

LinkedIn Recruiter only shows profiles on its platform. polyseek cross-references 100,000+ data sources to surface 30–40% of candidates who are invisible on LinkedIn. Plus, you get structured deliverables: a professional Mandate Analysis for the pitch and a ranked longlist with market mapping for the search execution.

Two moments that define every search

Executive search success hinges on two critical phases: winning the mandate, and delivering results fast. Most consultants lose time in both.

Pitching blind

You walk into the client meeting with gut feeling instead of data. No market sizing, no feasibility assessment, no candidate pool estimate. The client asks 'Can you fill this?' and you improvise.

Slow search start

You win the mandate, then spend 4–8 weeks finding candidates. The client expects progress updates, but your desk research has barely begun.

No competitive edge

Every search firm pitches experience and network. Without data-driven deliverables, you sound exactly like every other boutique in the room.
