The challenge

A Global Energy Systems Integrator at the forefront of energy transition, engaged Luminos to deliver a strategic talent mapping and market intelligence project. The objective was twofold: to identify candidates for a critical senior-level hire across Europe and Africa, and to build a forward-looking view of the market and talent landscape to support future growth.

This wasn’t just about filling a vacancy. The client needed deep insight into the availability of senior talent, key skill sets, and competitor positioning to inform long-term hiring strategy and strengthen their leadership pipeline.

Outcomes

Luminos delivered a comprehensive report that included:

• A high-quality shortlist of senior-level candidates for immediate consideration
• Rich market intelligence to support strategic hiring decisions
• A forward-looking talent pipeline aligned with future business needs

The insights enabled the client to accelerate hiring for a complex, high-impact role while gaining a clearer understanding of market realities. Following strong feedback, the Talent Acquisition team shared the methodology and outcomes across other business units, extending the value of the project beyond its original scope.
