Sample project: fictional data

One hire, seven pieces of work

Every example covers the same fictional role, a Senior Customer Success Manager in Manchester, hybrid, permanent, at £60,000. Follow one hire from what it costs and what it should pay, through the specification and the advert, to the interview. No account needed.

A fictional twelve-person team benchmarked in one upload, sorted by how far each salary sits from its market median.

The short brief that went in, and the structured specification that came back, so you can see exactly what the agent added and what it only reorganised.

What these pages are, and what is fictional about them

Taligent is a set of hiring tools for HR and talent teams. Rather than describe what they produce, these pages show it: the inputs each agent was given, the output it returned, and the assumptions behind it. Nothing is summarised or trimmed for presentation, if a recommendation is weak or an assumption is doing a lot of work, you can see that for yourself before you decide whether the tool is worth your time.

The scenario is fictional and so is the employer. The two benchmarking examples are saved sample reports: they show the shape of the agent’s output with illustrative figures, and they are not a live market read for Manchester today. A real run benchmarks your role against current data at the moment you run it, and reports its own confidence in the answer.

The recruitment cost figures are the one exception to “saved example”: they are calculated live by the same code the product runs, so they cannot drift away from the tool they demonstrate.
