Talent mapping is a strategic service which will provide perspective on short, medium and long-term talent acquisition. With this data, organisations are able to make informed decisions around recruitment solutions, working proactively to meet the recruitment and talent goals of their business.
Insight Led
Talent mapping is an insight led, strategic service used to plan effective talent acquisition solutions. Hiring top talent requires a data led approach, companies know they need to be pre-emptive, so that a recruitment campaign isn’t just a quick hire.
It will of course reduce your time to hire. The process also allows you to look at your hiring needs over a period, assessing what capabilities, experience and gaps you may need to fill. This is where mapping talent for these needs will aid your growth plans, helping you safeguard the business against resignations and underperformance issues.
Our clients continually update their knowledge of who the best people are in their market, where they are working and what their rewards package are. With this data they are able to make informed decisions around recruitment campaigns, reacting proactively to the recruitment needs of their organisation.
How we can support you
Talent mapping in our world isn’t just collating data from web sources, through telephone research and industry insights we connect to the best qualified people in your markets and gain real-time data which brings to life the mapping and provides meaningful context.
Our clients use talent mapping in a number of ways, in some instances their in-house recruiters need extra support to identify people for them to approach and we would work with them to identify individuals within targeted companies, locations or with a specific skillset. They can then use our findings by adding our talent pools to their work internally.
The majority of the time, we are working with HR professionals who are looking to safeguard their business against leavers and consider how best to fill future skill gaps. It’s useful to know where your future hires will come from in these instances, whether that skillset exists in your area and how it benchmarks to your reward packages.
As organisations expand and innovate, they need new skills, talent mapping in these instances is a great help to identify where they can source people from for their future plans. We have found it helpful to look at what talent exists for key hires to support decision makers, along with collating regional data to support more localised recruitment needs.
