What is talent mapping?
Talent Mapping is a strategic, research-driven method of talent acquisition that allows you to have complete oversight of the candidate experience.
Grow your vision
A talent map is an in-depth research project that identifies the talent that meets your brief by scanning the whole market. Rather than hoping that suitable candidates will see your ad and approach you, the talent mapping process identifies relevant individuals, whether or not they are actively looking for a new role.
Talent mapping vs search
We understand that in-house talent acquisition teams may prefer to directly approach, engage, and manage potential candidates. Talent Mapping equips your team with all the necessary data to initiate contact and oversee the entire client experience. Additionally, Talent Mapping enables you to discreetly search for new or existing roles, as no information is shared with identified, and no job vacancies are advertised.
On the other hand, a Talent Search provides a more supported approach. In this case, our team takes care of the initial outreach to candidates to evaluate their suitability and interest in the position, while also managing engagement and scheduling throughout the recruitment process.
Benefits of talent mapping
The Benefits of Talent Mapping
Our pricing is determined by the services we provide, not by a percentage of the salary package. Additionally, since we do not impose placement fees, you can hire multiple candidates from our curated talent pools at no extra cost.
Proactive approach
We identify top talent including those not currently looking for new opportunities. This strategy ensures you can confidently select the right candidates, knowing that a comprehensive talent pool has been evaluated and the best options are presented for your consideration.
Insight as well as talent
The talent mapping process provides valuable market insights regarding job titles, responsibilities, seniority levels, career paths, tenure, diversity, education, and more. This information aids in benchmarking the open position and pinpointing any aspects of your offer that may not be competitive or aligned with the external market.

Once we understand your requirements, we proactively identify relevant individuals who fit your brief.

This information is shared with you through a Market Mapping Report, which includes information about the individuals and all the details you need to progress recruitment with those of interest.

Our report also allows you to understand the marketplace, including information on gender splits and identifying relevant competitor organisations.
Vision
One alternative method of mapping is to concentrate on particular organisations instead of pinpointing individuals.
By utilizing this approach, our insights team can reveal a variety of crucial information, such as the size, structure, and organisational design, as well as key talent and the reputation of the employer brand.
Competitor mapping helps you gain insight into your competitors' talent strategies, offering valuable information that enables you to make well-informed strategic decisions.
Our Talent Mapping Process
The mapping process starts by analysing individuals in similar positions across various organisations. Depending on the requirements, this may involve looking at competitors or exploring different sectors and industries. This can be done confidentially with the assistance of our expert team to pinpoint 'close fit' profiles that align with your needs.
A talent map will encompass the data of all individuals identified during this process. This information is tailored to your specific requirements and is sourced from publicly available data. There are no extra charges or placement fees associated with this information; it’s yours to utilise for your future hiring needs, effectively giving you a pre-established talent pool.
