Saiyō framework
The Accessibility Gap
The distance between the talent your current hiring channels can reach and the talent that exists in the wider market.
What the framework says
Every channel, job boards, referrals, LinkedIn, email, professional headhunting, provides access to a different slice of the market. The Accessibility Gap is the passive-talent layer that traditional channels cannot reach without a real relationship.
When to use it
You want to know what your current channels genuinely cannot reach before adding more of them.
How to apply it
- 1List every channel in use and the slice of market each one actually reaches.
- 2Map the qualified population you know exists but have never had a conversation with.
- 3Close the gap with relationship-led access rather than more volume through the same channels.
- 4Review the gap per role type; it is far wider for scarce specialisms than for volume roles.
The common mistake
Adding another sourcing tool that reaches the same layer you already cover.
