Value

• There's a significant need for a deeper understanding of the talent landscape and specific skill requirements within the Engineering Consulting industry. Organizations operating in or interacting with this sector require focused, data-driven insights to effectively navigate its unique complexities and make informed talent decisions.
• Market Insights addresses this by now providing a system that can generate comprehensive breakdowns of job titles and skills specifically for this industry. It offers the flexibility to either retrieve previously cached data for ‘Engineering Consulting’ or generate new, up-to-date insights.
• With this enhancement, users will notice the following benefits:
  • Improved understanding of talent landscape in Engineering Consulting
  • Efficient identification of skill requirements
  • Enhanced market analysis capabilities
• You can now set the industry in skill recommendation modal to Engineering consulting to make sure recommendations for future readiness are aligned with industry.

Impact on existing workflows

The generation process supports a configurable ‘--limit’ argument, with a default of 25 items if no limit is specified. This means that by default, only the top 40 relevant titles or skills will be generated, though this can be adjusted.

Initial setup

This feature will be available to customers by default. Customers don't need to do anything to see this change in their Eightfold environment by the sandbox and GA dates.
