What is retail market research?
Retail market research is the process of gathering and analysing data about the retail industry to gain insights into skill gaps, recruitment needs and organisational transformation.
It involves undergoing an in-depth analysis using data, surveys, interviews, focus groups and competitor analysis, finding out their current organisational structure, leadership profiles and talent pipelines.
Our team analyses and interprets the collected data to generate meaningful insights, which are then translated into actionable recommendations for our clients.
Businesses can then implement this data, helping them better understand their areas of development, recruitment opportunities and which hiring strategy they require to fulfil these areas.
