Who It Is For

An honest read of your market

Most executives navigate the market on instinct, anecdote and the occasional recruiter conversation. This report replaces guesswork with an assessment: what you are competitive for today, what you could be competitive for next, and what stands between the two.

Leaders weighing a move

Executives deciding whether the next step is real: which roles fit, at what level, and whether now is the moment or the groundwork comes first.

Leaders considering a pivot

Leaders eyeing a change of industry, function or country, who need to know which pivots their record supports and which need a bridge built first.

Leaders hearing silence

Strong candidates applying without traction, who need a candid diagnosis of the gap between their record, their documents and their target roles.

What You Receive

The market, mapped to you

i

Seniority & competitiveness

An honest assessment of where you sit against the market for your target roles: what strengthens your candidacy, what weakens it, and how you compare with the field you will face.

ii

Pathways, pivots & gaps

The role pathways your record supports, the industry pivots within realistic reach, and the specific gaps between you and your target, each paired with a way to close it.

iii

Strategy & salary guidance

A practical application strategy for where and how to compete, and salary guidance grounded in your seniority, function and markets, so you negotiate from evidence. Delivered in Word and PDF, with free revisions for 30 days.

iv

The standard behind it

Written by a senior advisor through the Executive Career Positioning Suite™ methodology, informing your CV and application approach where we hold them, and handled in complete confidence with an NDA available on request.

What To Expect

From order to written assessment, on your schedule

01

Order

Secure checkout by card, PayPal, PayFast or EFT. Invoicing is available if you prefer; the terms are identical.

02

Complete your intake

A structured questionnaire you complete at your leisure, from any time zone. Name your target roles, industries and markets; an existing CV helps but is not required.

03

First draft in 3 to 5 days

Your senior advisor assesses your record against your target market and writes the report. The clock starts when your intake is complete.

04

Review and refine

You review, we refine. Revisions are free for 30 days, and finals arrive in Word and PDF, ready to deploy.

No scheduled calls, unless you want one

Our clients span time zones and full diaries, so the detailed intake replaces the telephone consultation. Completed in your own time, it consistently draws out richer material than questions answered on the spot. Prefer to talk it through? A telephone consult with a dedicated consultant is available on request.

Considered Questions

Before you order

How is this different from the Positioning Strategy?
The Role Suitability Report looks outward: where you fit in the market, how you compete and where to aim. The Positioning Strategy looks inward: how you should present yourself once the target is clear. They pair naturally, and both come inside our larger engagements.
Will you tell me if my target is unrealistic?
Yes. The report is an honest assessment, not encouragement. Where a target sits out of reach today, it shows what would bring it within reach: the gaps to close, and the pathway that closes them.
Is the salary guidance specific to my situation?
It is grounded in your seniority, function, industry and the markets you name in the intake, and offered as considered guidance for negotiation rather than a promise. Sensitive figures stay between us.
Can it cover a move between industries or countries?
Yes. Industry pivot opportunities are a core part of the report, and cross-border moves are assessed when you name your target markets in the intake.
Will I have a call with my advisor?
Your detailed intake, completed in your own time, briefs your advisor fully and replaces a scheduled call. If you prefer to talk it through, a telephone consult with a dedicated consultant is available on request.
What if I want changes?
Revisions are free for 30 days from first delivery. After that, updates to existing information remain free, and edits that require new content writing carry a small fee, always quoted before any work begins.
Is my information confidential?
Completely. Your identity and your documents are never disclosed or shared, our client references are anonymised, and an NDA is available on request.
