Services

A suite of services designed to inform, engage, and drive better talent decisions.

Candidate Engagement

At Skylight Talent, we take a different approach to engaging prospective candidates — one built on honesty, curiosity, and genuine connection. Rather than approaching talent reactively for a live vacancy, we engage proactively, building relationships well before a specific opportunity arises.

Our team focuses on levelling with candidates — giving them transparency, agency, and respect throughout the process. We invest time in understanding who they are, what motivates them, and the kind of role or organisation they aspire to be part of. This human-centric approach ensures that when the right role emerges, both the candidate and the client are already aligned in ambition, culture, and expectation.

By engaging the market early, we create space for meaningful conversations — allowing candidates to learn about their potential future employer while we gain deeper insight into their career goals. This makes every eventual search more efficient, authentic, and successful.

We pride ourselves on exceptional relationship building and consistent communication, ensuring that every candidate enjoys a positive, best-in-class experience — one that reflects the professionalism and values of the clients we represent.

Market Intelligence

Our Market Intelligence projects deliver deep, data-driven insight into the composition, distribution, and dynamics of key talent markets. These are typically longer-term engagements — running from two to four months — designed to help clients understand not just where talent sits, but why it sits there and how to engage it effectively.

Through meticulous research and analysis, Skylight Talent provides clarity on the who, what, and where of your target markets. Whether it’s mapping the geographic distribution of critical skills, conducting location analyses to identify optimal hiring hubs, or breaking down gender representation across seniorities and functions within target organisations, each project is tailored to your strategic priorities.

Our insights enable you to make informed, confident decisions about workforce planning, diversity strategies, and investment in new markets. By grounding your talent strategy in real-world data, you can maximise ROI on your most important asset — your people.

Talent Mapping

Our Talent Mapping service delivers a fast, systematic, and data-driven overview of targeted talent pools — curated and presented with precision to support strategic insight, succession planning, and confident decision-making.

By building these maps proactively, you stay several steps ahead in your search for the right talent. When a role arises, you won’t be starting from a standing start — you’ll already understand the market landscape, key players, and potential candidates.

You’ll own the curated talent maps, enabling you to launch searches at a running pace, streamline your hiring process, and spend more time where it matters most — interviewing, engaging, and selecting the right people.
