Everything, top down and bottom up. Over the past three years the
market has experienced an unprecedented uplift in demand for
digitally experienced senior executive and specialist candidates
across product, strategy, data & analytics, CX, UX & Design,
engineering, sales & marketing.
While growth in talent supply remains relatively flat, breakoutdemand is being driven globally by two key factors:
The digital transformation (DX) of mature enterprise organisations &industries has reached epic proportions. DX investment is currently
growing at ~18% YOY and expected to reach an annual run rate of
USD $2.1Trillion globally by 2019. (IDC 2016)
An uplift in venture technology investment which has trended atmore than 50% year on year growth for the past three years.
According to CB Insights, in 2015 ~USD$128.5 Billion was invested in
ventures globally, up from 89.4 Billion in 2014. Notably, investment in
Asia was up 300% year on year in 2015, to USD $39.7 Billion.
What's changing?

The competition for talent is hot, and everywhere. We have
all seen the Unicorn graphic, but what is happening to the
talent market as hyper funded global ventures reach
enterprise scale?
Current perspective...
* In February 2016 we
headhunted a technology leader
(USD $2M candidate) in Europe
who is aware of at least 20 openSVP of Engineering roles forpure play internet businesses in
the EU. He indicated one of his
peers at another EU
venture is currently seeking to
hire 1000+ engineers over thenext 18 months.
Current perspective...* One of the the companieson this graphic approachedus for advice in late 2015, tohelp them figure out howthey might hire 2000
software engineers, in theBay Area, in 2016.
* A well known Bay Area venture
recently hired a lead developeron USD $1M a year (+stock)
because, as a known influencer in
the SCALA community, they will
be able to support the
attraction of top talent to their
engineering team. * In April 2016 we were
approached for advice
on a strategy to hire
1000 Cloud engineers,for a single client in
APAC.
* One of thecompanies on thisgraphic is acquiringa company a month,
just for talent.

Identifying rare talent.
Vision: The ability to clearly identify, communicate and instil a sense of common purpose and mission. Being able to bindthe "Why" of an organisation, venture or initiative to its employees and customers. We consistently observe that this iswhat attracts and motivates the best talent, engages the most effective teams, and builds the most successful businesses.
Agility: Things are changing at rapid pace, requiring us all to be more nimble, but to us, being agile isn't just about rapiditeration, or a sequence of notes on a white board. It is the capacity to test and learn, win or fail fast, effectively adjust,communicate a path and move forward.
Balance: Not everyone who is an innovator can build or lead an enterprise, or even operate effectively in a largeorganisation. Similarly not all enterprise executives are effective in a growth company. We have observed and understandthe leadership competencies required to navigate and succeed in either context, from startup to global brand.
Diversity: This is the DNA of success, not a policy. Over the last 30 years we have seen many organisations, even entireindustries, decimated by unforeseen change. We appreciate that identifying the clearest focus, and perspective, requiresthe use of more than a single lens.
The demand for leadership, experience and skills to drive innovation has never been higher.Beyond generic executive qualities, which particular attributes do our most successful clients valuewhen hiring a leader to navigate significant change or growth?
