Everybody is fighting over the same people.
The Labor Availability Assessment™ helps quantify how many qualified workers are available, where competition is increasing, and which markets are becoming harder to staff.
Before you commit to the work, know whether the workforce exists to support it.
We share exactly what type of skilled workers are in the area.
The question isn’t whether work is available. It’s whether the people are. A Labor Availability Assessment™ provides a market-based view of labor supply, competition, and hiring difficulty.
Talent availability
How many qualified people exist — and how many are already takenIllustrative figures for a representative leadership role in a single metro. A live assessment counts the actual qualified pool inside your mobilization radius.
Market pressure signals
The forces acting on every offer you’ll make · longer = more pressureWhere the qualified talent sits
Share of the in-radius qualified pool, by employerIllustrative. In a live assessment, every bar is a named employer with current headcount and hiring velocity — so you can see exactly who you’re competing against for the same people.
Compensation intelligence
What the market actually pays — and where your offer has to land| Percentile | Base salary | Total cash | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25th | $145K | $156K | Below market |
| Median | $170K | $188K | Market rate |
| 75th | $196K | $222K | Offer zone |
| 90th | $224K | $262K | Premium / scarce |
Total-cash growth since 2023. Live benchmarks reflect offers actually accepted in-market — not survey medians that lag 90–180 days behind.
Where you stand
How your current package compares on what candidates actually weighWhat waiting actually costs.
An open leadership seat isn’t a salary you’re saving — it’s margin you’re exposing. Model what this seat costs while it stays unfilled, and how that cost compounds across the first 90 days.
The seat & the work it governs.
This is the number a Labor Availability Assessment™ is built to protect — by telling you, before you commit, whether the seat can be filled fast enough to matter.
Find out if your project can be staffed.
Every assessment begins with a structured briefing. Tell us the project, the market, and the timeline — we’ll tell you whether the labor exists to execute it.
