Senior talent scoping

The best strategies succeed only with the right leaders in place. Yet many businesses don’t always know what they’re looking for - or how to assess the leadership skills needed to deliver real change.

Senior Talent Scoping helps you define the roles you need, benchmark skills, and uncover gaps in leadership capability. Whether scaling, transforming, or embedding digital and AI-led change, the right senior talent ensures plans are executed with confidence and impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions clients ask about our business strategy consulting.

What is Senior Talent Scoping?

It’s a service that helps businesses define, assess, and secure the right senior leaders for customer service and operations roles. We bring clarity on what roles are needed, at what level, and with what skills.

Why do businesses need this?

Because many organisations know they need leadership support but aren’t sure what the role should look like, what level it should sit at, or how to assess the right capability. We take away the guesswork.

How does this differ from standard recruitment?

Traditional recruitment fills vacancies. Talent Scoping starts earlier - ensuring the role is correctly defined, aligned to strategy, and scoped at the right level before you begin hiring.

What does the process include?

We support role scoping, job description writing, benchmarking capability, interviewing, and assessment support - helping you confidently identify and appoint the right leaders.

How does this reduce risk?

By ensuring roles are properly defined and candidates are assessed against both capability and culture, businesses avoid costly mis-hires and accelerate delivery of their goals. It also ensures you have a great candidate experience that represents your business appropriately.

How long does the process take?

Depending on the scope, projects can be completed in a matter of weeks - providing clarity before committing to a full recruitment process.

What outcomes can I expect?

Clarity on leadership needs, better-aligned job descriptions, stronger interviews, and confident appointments that deliver long-term impact.

How much does the service cost?

Pricing depends on scope and level of support required. We offer flexible models - from fixed project fees for role scoping and JD creation, to retained support packages for end-to-end hiring.
