What is Talent Mapping?
You may handle the whole recruiting process
internally with the help of talent mapping, a proactive method of talent
acquisition that lets you approach prospects directly. Instead of sitting back
and expecting for qualified applicants to respond to your job post, you can use
talent mapping to find and evaluate qualified individuals who aren't
necessarily seeking new opportunities. As a first step in the mapping process,
we profile people in comparable positions at other companies. Involvement of
rivals or exploration of unrelated fields is possible, depending on the need.
With the help of our expert staff, you can confidently search to find
"close fit" profiles and individuals that meet the requirements.
The Talent Mapping Process
Step 1: Understand the requirements for
the role(s) in question.
This generally includes the role's skill
set, experience level, and salary range. It may also include diversity metrics.
Step 2: Commence the map of the market.
Identifying profiles based on your
criteria using a range of specialist tools.
Step 3: Share regular updates & gain
feedback on potential candidates.
We offer weekly check-ins on individuals
identified, qualified out, and shortlisted.
Step 4: Refine the search and vet matched
profiles.
A deeper dive into qualified profiles to
ensure they are suitable for approach.
Step 5: The final report of fully vetted
profiles
Our reports
include the career history, education details and contact information of all
those identified.
At TIG, our
talent maps include the data of everyone we identify during the process. This
information is specific to your brief and what is available in the public
domain. No additional charges or placement fees are attached to this
information; it’s yours to use for any future hiring needs. Effectively
providing you with a ready-made talent pool.
Undertaking the
talent mapping process can also unlock valuable market insight on title, remit,
level or seniority, career trajectory, tenure, diversity, education and other
areas. This data helps benchmark the open role and identify any elements of
your offer that aren’t competitive or aligned with the external market.
What is competitor talent mapping?
Competitor
mapping focuses on generating intelligence on specific competitor companies
rather than individuals. The map may include size, structure, reputation,
benefits, key talent and organisation design. This information helps you
understand how your organisation compares and arms you with insight to enhance
your own people strategy and structures.
What about internal talent mapping?
Internal talent mapping helps you
understand the gaps and potential moves within your organisation. In this
scenario, employees are profiled in terms of skill set and experience to
identify talent gaps, training needs and possible career paths. This process
can aid succession planning, helping
you to plan recruitment needs ahead of time, shortening time-to-hire and
maintaining momentum.
preparing for future success
Many businesses recognise the importance of
succession planning for continuity and success. However, data shows that
despite understanding how essential it is, 60% of companies say they do not
have a succession plan for their CEO and only 14% of businesses say they do
well with succession planning as a whole.
Our guide looks at businesses'
challenges and why succession planning is becoming more important than ever. It
also looks at how this ongoing process ensures companies are prepared, helping
to avoid empty chairs to keep teams engaged and minimize the impact of the loss
of senior leaders.
