Talent Mapping

We go everywhere to uncover what is out there

A simple job advert yields a fraction of the potential talent for any role. Using the same research and market mapping capability as we use for our executive search projects, our talent mapping solution brings together all of the data you need to handle the approach, engagement and management of a recruitment process yourselves.

Intro

Talent Mapping From Our Team To Yours

Compensation Benchmarking

Whether it is an individual role or an organisation wide review, we help clients to understand their compensation scheme against their peers in the market to help recruit and retain talent in an objective and data-driven way.

Market Research

We uncover the potential talent map for a group of roles or a specific role so your internal talent team have the tools they need for hard-to-fill roles. We can also benchmark external talent against internal talent as a prerequisite to executive search.

Competitor Analysis

We can uncover your competitors talent map, their organisational design and their functional makeup to support decision making by our client. This can be market wide or highly targeted depending on your needs and the insights you seek.

What Is Talent Mapping?

Talent mapping is a strategic process where our experienced research team help to manage our client's talent needs proactively. It can involve analysing the current workforce's skills and potential, identifying future talent requirements, and developing strategies to recruit and retain.

Through confidential market research conducted by our experienced research team and headhunters, we provide competitor insights in real-time, helping you better understand the talent landscape in your sector and make more proactive hiring decisions, instead of reacting from a standing start when vacancies arise.

We use talent mapping for projects such as research into new international markets, restructuring or setting up new divisions or services. By utilising a wider approach, we can incorporate new team formation, leveraging talent mapping, culture and dynamics assessments and executive search. We also support clients in narrower-scope projects such as compensation benchmarking, competitor research and market insights.

In its most basic form, however, we use talent mapping for those clients who want to go beyond job adverts but do not wish to use the full executive search solution. This is great for in-house talent teams who may want to approach, engage and manage the process themselves with the benefit of a research-led talent map which identifies potential candidates.

FAQ For Talent Mapping

Talent mapping can be a cost effective alternative to a full executive search process, but with the power of an exhaustive approach to the talent market. A simple job advert yields a fraction of the potential talent for any role as you are limiting your reach to those actively looking for a role right now - not considering all of the best talent in the market. Using the same research and market mapping capability as we use in our executive search projects, our team bring to life bespoke talent insights or talent market maps.

This depends on the nature and scope of the role. Typically we look to complete talent mapping within 2-3 weeks of a project initiating. We can often meet tight timescales by dedicating additional researchers to the project as needed.

Yes, one of the big benefits of external talent mapping is that it is undertaken through a confidential platform. This is helpful if the project relates to restructuring or a prospective exit plan for teams or individuals.
