Data

Intelligence Group is 100% labour market data. Since 2007 Intelligence Group has been collecting European data on the workforce through the Global Talent Acquisition Monitor (GTAM). The international labour market research into the supply of labour potential. This research forms the most important basis for our products and services that we offer internationally.

Global Talent Acquisition Monitor

The Global Talent Acquisition Monitor (GTAM) is a large-scale study of the labour potential on the European labour market. The GTAM has been conducted in 28 European countries with approximately 60,000 respondents being questioned about the following issues:

Socio-demographic characteristics: age, gender level of education, profession, sector, work experience;
How do you reach your international target group?: insights in pull factors, employment conditions, job search channels, favorite apps and websites for recruitment of active and passive candidates;
How do you attract international talent?: insights in drivers of internationally mobile people, popular cities and countries for your target group, and the factors that are most important in a job;
Candidate experience: learn about expectations of the application process, negotiating the contract, the resume of candidates in various countries to improve candidate experience in your local markets.

The data we collect with GTAM form the basis for our Occupational Analysis, the European Recruitment Dashboard, tailor-made research and the data for our APIs. We also weigh and enrich our data with vacancy data and other data sources, such as Eurostat. With this we offer a reliable, up-to-date and complete picture of the European labour market.

Data justification

Since 2007, Intelligence Group has been gathering data on the international labour force by means of the Global Talent Acquisition Monitor (GTAM). The fifth wave of GTAM was conducted in July 2018 amongst 60,000 respondents in 28 European countries. Respondents were questioned in detail on matters such as social demographics, pull factors, favourite apps, job boards and other websites, the candidate experience, international mobility etc.

Panel Agency SSI was used to distribute the questionnaire among respondents. Whilst the questionnaire was being distributed, the age ratio, gender and educational level of the respondents were analysed in order to generate a representative sample. The sample data are weighted per country based on the above background characteristics against the population data provided by Eurostat, ensuring representative and reliable insights into the European labour market. The labour market information can be accessed through APIs, reports and the European Recruitment Dashboard.
