See the mandate forming before the brief goes to market.
A hiring need is visible in the market long before it becomes a retained brief, in funding, leadership departures, expansion and reorganisation. New Dynamics connects those signals, the hiring leaders and talent directors who own the decision, and the client relationships your consultants already hold, so the firm is in the room while the mandate is still being scoped.

Which hiring mandates are forming before anyone briefs a firm?
Market Radar scores leadership moves, funding rounds and reorganisation signals against your sectors and functions, and explains each score. A CFO departure at a company where a consultant already placed two board hires reads very differently from a cold vacancy at an unknown account, and the scoring says so. The triage queue keeps the live openings in front of the consultants who own the sector.
Who in the firm already knows this hiring leader?
Search firms live on relationships, yet a placed candidate today is a hiring leader tomorrow, and that network is only useful when it is mapped. The coverage matrix shows every key contact across a client, which consultant owns each relationship, when it was last active, and the talent and HR directors nobody has a route to, ranked by influence, with the nearest warm introduction alongside.
| Decision-maker | Owner | Last touch | Best route in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greg PowellManaging Director | David Okafor | 4w ago | active · 4/5 |
| Rachel StoneChief Finance Officer | no owner | never | via Dr Helen Carr · 5/5 |
| Tomas NowakHead of Acquisitions | no owner | never | via Greg Powell · 3/5 |
Two high-influence contacts, nobody accountable, but each with a colleague two steps away. That list is the month’s BD agenda.
Which mandates deserve the desk's effort?
Pitching for a retained search commits consultant time whether or not it converts. Each pursuit records its estimated fee, stage, win probability and qualification, so the pursue or pass conversation happens on evidence rather than optimism. The pipeline the leadership reviews is weighted, and repeat mandates from existing clients carry their own line rather than being assumed.
