Where does your search get stuck?

“We know the expertise we need. Where do we even begin looking for it?”

“The brief is so niche that only a handful of people could take it on. We can’t find any of them.”

“Our usual sourcing platforms don’t surface the people who actually do this work.”

“Keyword searches return job titles. We need the people who have actually worked on the problem.”

“We’ve worked through every network we have. The people we need aren’t in any of them.”

“The evidence is spread across publications, lab pages and career histories. None of it sits in one place.”

“How do we tell who is genuinely advancing the field from who just looks right on paper?”

“By the time a researcher is easy to find, every other team has already found them.”

“Every search brings us back to the same people.”

The people advancing a field rarely announce themselves.

Their work lives in papers, labs and years of collaboration, well beyond what a conventional search returns. The people you most need are often the hardest to find.

See the whole researcher behind every name.

Every record holds what would otherwise take a dozen open tabs to piece together.

Proprietary Scoring System

See who’s genuinely ahead, and who’s rising fast.

ForesIQ’s Proprietary Scoring System gives you three reads on every researcher: research standing, momentum and activity. Each is graded within the researcher’s own field. All three come straight from their published work. That’s artifact-based scoring. It’s how the people who matter rise to the surface, and the ones about to break through show up early.

  • ForesIQ Score

    Research standing, judged within their own field.

  • Momentum

    Who’s rising, and how fast.

  • Activity

    The pace of their recent research output.

Filters

From an entire field to your exact match.

Filters turn a search into a match. On a live brief, narrow the whole field to the precise expertise, standing and experience it calls for. Or get ahead of it: map a specialism with the same filters now, and you already know its strongest and fastest-rising names before the next brief lands.

Built for specialist searches

Whether you’re answering a brief or getting ahead of one.

  • Reactive: the brief just landed

    Search the field, filter to the exact match and walk into the first conversation with credible names and the work behind them.

  • Proactive: ahead of the brief

    Map a specialism early, track the researchers who matter and watch who’s rising. The moment a brief lands, you already know who to call.

Who it’s built for

  • Executive & research leadership

    Find the people who can set a technical direction, with the record to back it.

  • Specialist & niche roles

    Fill hard-to-source roles with researchers who’ve done the exact work.

  • Competitive talent mapping

    Map an entire field and see who’s shaping it before a search begins.

  • Advisory & expert sourcing

    Source technical advisors and reviewers by their precise specialism.
