Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Workforce and talent market research
Research labor market trends, talent supply and demand dynamics, and skills gaps in specific industries and geographies. Build evidence-based workforce plans grounded in real market data.
Data engineer market: 45% job posting growth YoY (highest in tech). Median base salary: $138K (senior: $175K+). Top in-demand skills: Spark (72% of postings), dbt (51%), Airflow (48%), Snowflake (44%). Major demand drivers: AI infrastructure build-out and analytics modernization. Talent gap: estimated 85,000 unfilled roles nationally by 2027 based on current graduation rates.
Compensation benchmarking and total rewards research
Research market compensation data, equity compensation norms, and benefits trends for specific roles and industries. Build benchmark analyses that inform compensation band design and pay equity reviews.
VP Product compensation ranges: Base $220K–$285K, Bonus 20–30% of base, Equity 0.15–0.50% over 4-year vest. SF premium: ~12% above NY for base. Austin: 8–15% discount vs SF. Equity ranges widest at companies with $50M–$100M ARR. RSU structures increasingly common vs options at later stages.
Organizational design documentation
Render organizational charts, reporting structure diagrams, and RACI matrices for current-state documentation and future-state design work. Produce clear visual artifacts for board and executive presentations.
Rendered HR org design diagram with 4 COEs, an HR Business Partner layer (mapped to business units), and a Shared Services backbone. Highlighted the 3 new leadership roles required (COE heads) and 2 roles being consolidated. Added an estimated headcount range for each function at 2000-employee org scale.
People analytics and HR research
Find peer-reviewed evidence on people management practices, leadership effectiveness, and organizational culture interventions. Build research briefs that give clients confidence in strategy recommendations.
Synthesized 9 peer-reviewed studies (2020–2024). Key findings: hybrid 2-3 days in office shows no significant difference in engagement vs fully remote (effect size d=0.08). Flexibility itself is the key driver (β=0.31, p<0.001 in Bloom et al. 2023 Stanford study). Attrition risk: mandating 5-day in-office linked to 18% higher voluntary turnover for knowledge workers. Manager relationship is the primary mediating factor.
