What leaders say about the Market Scan.
"I've worked inside companies that spend tens of thousands on executive search intelligence — I wasn't expecting an individual service to deliver at that level. The Market Scan ranked over 50 companies against my profile, flagged which ones were actively hiring, and showed me compensation benchmarks drawn from current market data rather than outdated salary surveys. It also identified decision-makers at my top targets by name, which meant I could start warm outreach within days rather than weeks. It's the kind of clarity you don't realise you're missing until someone builds it for you."
"I've been through outplacement before and was underwhelmed — generic career portals, recycled advice, nothing built around my actual market. The Market Scan was a completely different experience. It ranked and tiered target companies by realistic fit, separated the aspirational from the accessible, and weighted geography properly — something most career tools get wrong. The hidden market targets section surfaced companies I'd never considered, the compensation benchmarking gave me real numbers I could use in live conversations, and the execution plan laid out exactly who to contact, how to reach them, and in what order. After the first report, I gave detailed feedback and Declan iterated within days — the revised version was materially stronger. The quality and personalisation were significantly stronger than anything I've seen from traditional career transition support."
"When you've spent years at LinkedIn and Dell, you think you have a decent read on the job market. You know people, you know the landscape, you know how hiring works.
Then you get a Market Scan showing exactly what you were missing.
Hireovate came back with scored target companies across three tiers, live compensation benchmarks, named decision-makers, and outreach templates written specifically for my background. But the section that genuinely shifted my approach was the one on the hidden market. Companies not posting anything yet, but where the signals, funding, leadership changes, and team expansion make a senior sales hire in the next six months almost certain. That's where the real edge is, and I wouldn't have found it without this.
It wasn't just the depth of the research. It was the specificity, all of it woven into the targeting logic, the tier scoring, and the outreach templates. This wasn't a generic report with my name-dropped in. It was built around me.
If you're a senior leader in Ireland or EMEA thinking about your next move, this is not a nice-to-have; it's a significant head start, and very much a must-have from a career transition support mechanism"
"I've experienced outplacement first-hand and it didn't come close to this. The standard offering — workshops, CV templates, a portal nobody logs into after week two — left me more frustrated than supported. The Market Scan delivered a ranked list of companies genuinely aligned to my background, mapped the key people I'd need to reach at each one, and gave me a structured two-week action plan with specific outreach steps rather than vague advice to 'network more.' It also connected my experience to roles and sectors I hadn't considered, which completely shifted how I was thinking about my search. This is what career transition support should actually look like."
"As a senior sales leader with over 20 years across LinkedIn and Forrester, I assumed my own network gave me strong market visibility. The Market Scan proved me wrong. It scored and ranked over 50 target companies, identified hiring signals I had no visibility on — funding rounds, leadership changes, team expansions — and surfaced roles at companies I hadn't connected to my profile. The compensation benchmarking was based on live market data, not generic bands, which gave me real leverage in conversations. It's recruiter-grade intelligence built for the candidate, and I haven't seen anyone else do it this way."
