Custom Reports

When Standard Data Is Not Enough

The Cerulean Hiring Index provides an authoritative macro view of the luxury labour market. But the most sophisticated analyses — the ones that inform strategic planning, media coverage of real substance, or investment decision-making — often require something more targeted: specific data cuts, custom comparison sets, longitudinal analyses, or sector-specific deep dives that the standard publication cannot accommodate.

Cerulean’s Custom Reports service provides this.

What We Can Produce

Our data science capability enables us to generate bespoke analyses across a range of dimensions:

Geographic Cuts Hiring activity in a specific country, city-cluster, or region — including demand intensity, salary benchmarks for specific roles, and talent supply concentrations.

Luxury Sub-Sector Analysis A focused analysis of any luxury sub-sector — fine watchmaking, haute couture, prestige fragrance, ultra-luxury hospitality, or others — including brand-level hiring comparisons, functional demand shifts, and seniority-level trend data.

Skill and Competency Mapping Demand analysis for specific capabilities — a trending skill, an emerging technical competency, or a leadership profile growing in prevalence across the industry — with supply-side data on where those capabilities currently reside.

Longitudinal and Comparative Studies Year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter, or brand-to-brand comparative datasets — enabling trend analysis, benchmarking, and the kind of before-and-after insight that strategic planning requires.
