Talent Mapping

Get a better view of the current talent landscape.

Reach out for an exploratory conversation

Talent Mapping provides in-depth and thoroughly researched lists of candidate profiles based on your specific brief. Talent Maps can be used by your TA or Exec Search teams for direct engagement against current or future vacancies. They also provide an overview of the talent demographics in a given market. Maps can be sector, geography, role, level or diversity-specific.

Why use Talent Mapping?

Planning to ensure your business has the right people today and for tomorrow is vital to any organisation. HR leaders need to critically appraise their organisation’s strategic direction, conduct detailed competitor and sector analysis, and identify what skills will be required for the future.

 The most common reason for talent mapping is to help an organisation find and acquire the best talent. By enabling you to have a complete picture of the available talent in target markets, you can get a clear idea of the task ahead. Our talent maps are typically the prelude to a pipelining process.

How we help

We partner with your business’ internal HR or talent acquisition team to provide a targeted, high quality and cost-effective service, allowing you to take a strategic approach to hiring the right people.

  • Our talent mapping service boosts your team’s access to candidates and particularly helps where capacity or lack of specialist research skills is an issue. 
  • With a powerful combination of boolean and AI/ML searching, we have access to over 40 global online resources that ensures we can scour the market for the profiles you need, going way beyond standard LinkedIn searches.
  • The talent mapping process identifies profiles of potential talent for your talent acquisition team to contact, engage and take on through your hiring process. Reports are fully GDPR compliant and typically contain companies, names, job titles and contact details.

Our approach to Talent Mapping

Our Strategy

We form a partnership with our clients and develop a deep understanding of their business, strategy, and talent needs. We support our clients in developing an effective talent mapping process to find the best talent for their organisation. Talent mapping is particularly effective when searching for niche, in-demand, or senior roles.

Aims and Motivation

We aim to provide our clients with deep, evidence-based insights into the current talent market to help address existing talent gaps, identify high-potential candidates, and create a talent strategy that meets future recruiting needs. Helping our clients understand the talent market means that the best individuals will be identified and hired rather than having to pick someone based on convenience. 

High-Quality Service

When we partner with your organisation’s internal HR or talent acquisition team to support recruitment needs, we provide a first-class, cost-effective, and scalable talent mapping service to truly benefit your business.

I am really enjoying my conversations with the candidates you have identified and your work has highlighted profiles that I don't usually get to speak to you as we don’t target the cohort very often
