Frequently Asked Questions

CBIQ (Cross-Border Workforce Intelligence) is the workforce intelligence platform from Global Mobility Executive (GME), providing benchmarking, market intelligence and strategic insights across Global Mobility, Immigration, Compliance, Risk and Workforce Strategy. Our intelligence products help organizations benchmark performance, understand market trends and make more informed workforce decisions.

CBIQ is powered by Global Mobility Executive (GME). It draws on GME's global community of HR, Mobility and Talent leaders, its industry events and its research programs to turn collective insight into the peer benchmarks the industry has long lacked.

CBIQ intelligence is built from three primary sources: • 1,500+ HR, Mobility, Talent and Workforce leaders participating in Global Mobility Executive (GME) industry events annually • The annual Global Workforce Deployment Survey™ • Ongoing intelligence surveys completed by CBIQ members throughout the year All reporting is anonymized and presented in aggregate form.

CBIQ intelligence is informed by participants across 35+ countries and 4 global regions, representing organizations ranging from fewer than 250 employees to global enterprises employing more than 50,000 employees.

CBIQ continuously refreshes benchmark data throughout the year through event participation, member surveying and annual flagship research programs. New intelligence findings and reports are released regularly.

Vendor Intelligence™ is designed for service providers operating within workforce mobility, immigration, compliance, tax, relocation and workforce technology markets.

Vendor Intelligence™ provides aggregated market intelligence including: • Transformation activity • Operational pressures • Investment priorities • AI adoption trends • Workforce strategy priorities • Market demand indicators • Future industry direction

No. CBIQ does not disclose individual participant names, company names or organization-level responses. Vendor Intelligence™ is designed to provide aggregated market intelligence rather than lead lists. The value comes from understanding where demand is emerging, what organizations are investing in, which challenges are increasing and how buying priorities are evolving across regions, industries and workforce segments. Vendor Intelligence™ helps providers identify: • Regions experiencing the highest transformation activity • Areas attracting the greatest investment focus • Emerging compliance, immigration and workforce challenges • AI adoption priorities • Operational pressures influencing buying behavior • Future workforce and mobility trends This enables providers to focus sales, marketing, product development and go-to-market strategy where market opportunity is strongest, while protecting participant confidentiality and maintaining the integrity of the benchmark data.

Each service is compared on two measures: demand — the share of buyers expressing interest in it — and provision — the share of organizations that report already having it in place. • Emerging: a service buyers are actively seeking that doesn't yet have an established provision benchmark — newer territory with little measured supply, so an early-mover opportunity. • Opening: demand is higher than current provision — more buyers want the service than organizations currently have it — a clear, measurable gap to move into. • Saturated: provision already meets or exceeds demand — the need is well-served, so it's more competitive to enter.

No. CBIQ only reports anonymized and aggregated benchmark findings. Individual organizations and respondents are never identified in reports, dashboards or intelligence products.

All responses are anonymized before analysis. CBIQ does not sell, share or disclose individual participant data. Only aggregated benchmark results are published.
