How a Top 10 Executive Search Firm Cut Market Mapping Time by 99%

The Challenge

The firm relied on Excel sheets and PowerPoint decks that were sent to their BPO team in India for market mapping. The offshore team would manually check thousands of names across LinkedIn, company websites, and regulator databases like BrokerCheck. This process took days to weeks per project. By the time data reached partners, it was often already outdated. If a client meeting came up last minute, they were going in with stale information.

The Solution

The firm now sends their files directly to Clicks, which checks thousands of people across exactly the same sources the humans used: LinkedIn, company websites, and regulator databases. What previously took days and weeks now takes minutes. Clicks fits exactly into their existing workflows of emails, PPTs, and Excel sheets. Beyond updating existing lists, Clicks also builds market maps from scratch. The team sends a company URL, and Clicks extracts everyone listed on the website with accurate titles, optionally cross-checked against LinkedIn or any other database.

“Every partner now walks into every client meeting with the most up-to-date market data, no matter how last minute the meeting was scheduled. That was never possible before.”
