A Case Study
Our client found it extremely challenging to hire specialty employees in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yet, the idea of moving to other regions in the country felt like it would require a major shift in their people strategy.
Accessing Radford data from nearly 1,000 global technology organizations, we were able to track changes in labor market conditions for specific job groups and specific employers. For example, we found evidence that top employers in San Francisco were no longer increasing headcount, but rather poaching employees from each other. Growth had to come from other locations.
Our analysis and expert observations confirmed the client's initial suspicions, but also provided real evidence to present to executives. With our help, the client now routinely leverages several alternative labor markets around the U.S.
