Understand who and where the best talent is, to inform more intelligent talent acquisition campaigns

There is no doubt that we live in a world where information is more freely available than ever before. Rather than relying on commoditised data, we go further and deeper to find and deliver critical insight. We use a comprehensive portfolio of data sources to build an in-depth picture of talent – and ultimately their suitability and fit for any role and organisation. A thorough and intelligent talent map is more than just a list of candidates. It reveals the available talent in the marketplace, ahead of a decision to recruit. It shows the potential external candidates, so that organisations can benchmark internal candidates – and vice versa. And it is the bedrock of any headhunting or talent pipelining process, providing the organisation with the information to proceed with confidence, and where necessary, speed. We believe that the way we compile a talent map makes us the best choice of partner for in-house talent acquisition teams.

Range

We search energetically for candidate data and insight using a comprehensive range of online and human sources

Analysis

We carefully analyse potential candidates’ careers and profiles, and include commentary on their strengths and weaknesses

Judgement

We grade candidates according to fit and calibre and advise our clients which ones to prioritise at the next stage

We do this across sectors and internationally, for organisations who want deep market and candidate insight they can trust.  So much depends on the way we research, such as using online data platforms, but also uncovering and verifying information through conversations with candidates and industry sources.

Example Output

Each Talent Mapping project that we undertake is designed to meet the exact needs of the client.  Whilst our research driven approach remains consistent, the output and format of the end product is tailored to the requirements of the client.

What underpins every project that our highly experienced consultants undertake, is an attention to detail and quality of data that ensures our clients are provided with a reliable, useable and targetted set of information that can support them in their short, medium and longer term objectives.

Our working documents are built in Excel.  This provides a highly adaptable framework for our con sultants to work within and is also preferred by many clients as it enables them to upload our insight directly into their own database.

Regular checkpoint reports are presented as projects progress, again enabling our team to adapt and  adjust to the feedback provided by our clients throughout the duration of the project.

Executive Summary

An Executive Summary of our findings is presented to our clients where required as part of the brief. This supports the working project documents already reviewed throughout the duration of the project, and provides a concise breakdown of the research, with key insights in to diversity, geography, talent availability and finally a shortlist if required by the client of the candidates where qualification has been commissioned.

Candidate Profiles

If a pipeline is required as part of the client brief within a mapping project, we will deliver a set of qualified candidate profiles for consideration.  These candidates will have been actively engaged with and will be open to formal discussion about a move to the client business.

Our candidate profiles are a concise presentation of the individual and include detailed responses against any of the key qualifying information that our client has specified.  These profiles are straight forward for internal Talent Managers or their teams to take forward to hiring managers, or to hold on file for outreach at a later date.

As  a result of our research based approach to Talent insight and in this case mapping, our process is flexible and can be structured to the uniqueness of each client brief we receive – fro m presentation of data and reporting, to frequency of review and touchpoints, we build each project to serve the needs of the teams we work with.
