Free market assessment
Find out exactly where your hiring process is losing time and candidates.
You'll have a written breakdown of where your funnel is breaking down and how you compare to companies your size in your industry. No cost, no obligation, and it's yours to act on either way.
What it is
Most teams can feel something's off in their hiring. Few can point to exactly what.
That's what a market assessment gives you: we sit down with your team, look at how candidates actually move through your funnel today, and compare your numbers to companies your size hiring in your industry. Not a sales presentation, not a generic industry report — specific to how your organization hires right now.
Why it's worth your time
And that “something's off” is costing you money every week it goes unmeasured.
Slow time-to-fill, high candidate drop-off, recruiters buried in manual work — none of it shows up on a P&L line, but all of it adds up. The assessment puts a number on it and shows you exactly where it's coming from, before you spend a dollar trying to fix it.
What's included
One conversation, four deliverables
Process diagnostic
A stage-by-stage look at where candidates and time are actually being lost in your funnel.
Industry benchmark
Your time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, and offer-acceptance rate compared to organizations your size in your sector.
Technology gap check
Where your current ATS and tools are leaving manual work on the table.
Written recommendation
A short document you can keep and act on, whether or not you ever work with us.
How it works
Three simple steps
Step 1
Tell us about your hiring
A short intake form and a 30-minute call with one of our consultants to understand your volume, roles, and current process.
Step 2
We run the diagnostic
Our team reviews your funnel data (if available) and benchmarks it against comparable organizations in your industry.
Step 3
You get the readout
A written summary and a walkthrough call. What you do with it, including nothing, is entirely up to you.
Common questions
Is this really free?
Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to work with us afterward. Most of our long-term clients started with an assessment.
What do I need to provide?
Start with basic context about your hiring volume, roles, location, current process, and the challenge you want to understand. Funnel data can sharpen the benchmark, but it isn't required for the first conversation.
Will I get a sales pitch?
No. The readout focuses on what the diagnostic found and what you can do next. If there is a fit with NXTThing, you decide whether to continue the conversation.
How long does it take?
The intake and first call take about 30 minutes. We'll confirm the readout timing once we understand the scope and the information available.
