ROLE RISK SCAN
One key role. A clear read.
Role Risk Scan
One answer,
fast and grounded.
Sometimes you don't need a year-long partnership but a single answer: how exposed is this role — or how fillable is this vacancy? The Role Risk Scan gives you that answer in three working days, built on our own market data.
Two modes, one scan
Choose the lens that fits your question
Or combine both into one clear read.
Retention lens
For a filled key role: market pressure on the specialism, comp position against benchmark, replaceability and succession depth.
Recruitment lens
For an open or upcoming role: fillability, realistic time-to-hire, pool size from the Role Framework, comp to win, and alternatives.
Market-pressure score
A clear score for the pressure on the specialism, built on our own market data.
Comp position
Your pay against our benchmark — know whether you're paying to market.
Pool & scarcity
Pool size and a scarcity reading, plus replacement cost and a realistic time-to-fill.
Recommendations + debrief
Three concrete recommendations, followed by a 30-minute debrief to talk through the outcome.
The process
From intake to answer in three working days
How we work
Roles, not
individuals.
Complete intake first
We only start once the intake is complete — that's what secures the quality of the outcome.
Privacy by design
We audit roles, never individuals. No flight-risk scores on people; recommendations are structural and GDPR-proof.
No double charges

What the scan delivers
What you can expect
Vacancy Realism Score
Six weighted dimensions — salary, flex/location, role clarity, EVP/brand, candidate experience and social proof. Scored 0-100, with ▲ green above 70 and ▼ red below 50. You see exactly where conversion leaks and what to fix first.
Salary Realism Ratio (SRR)
Dual benchmark: your salary offer set against both the top-tier market and the local benchmark for this level. Includes TSP's advised range to score green — concrete advice, not just a market mirror. Classification: Green >1.05 | Amber 0.85-1.00 | Red <0.85.
Gap Index
An organisational risk score across six dimensions: Talent & Capacity (25%), Strategy alignment (20%), Culture & Engagement (15%), Leadership (15%), Process & Technology (15%), Market position (10%). Gives you the boardroom case you need.
Blind spots
Two or three structural signals in your vacancy or approach that attract the wrong candidates — or make the right ones drop out. Each blind spot ends with a concrete strategic choice. Named without hedging.
Pool & scarcity
Pool size for your specific combination of role, location and seniority. A scarcity reading, a realistic time-to-fill and replacement cost calculated from the TSP Role Framework and market data.
Economic implication
Cost-of-vacancy calculated on your situation: 1.5-2× annual salary as the yardstick for replacement cost. Vacancy cost per month. Compression risk on lateral hires. Conclusion first, calculation after — ready to take straight to the board.
Three concrete recommendations + 30-minute debrief
Not a report that disappears into a drawer. Each recommendation is framed as a positioning choice, not a problem statement. Followed by a confidential 30-minute debrief to talk through the outcome and decide the next step — at your pace, no strings attached.
Every finding carries a data-source qualifier: [HARD] for verifiable market data, [INDICATIVE] for derived benchmarks, [ESTIMATED] for expert interpretation. So you always know how firm the numbers are.
