Talent Mapping

What is Talent Mapping?

It is a strategic tool which helps Boards and HR specialists in planning long term talent acquisition strategies by providing on going research and intelligence about other organizations in the same industry.

Most companies have some level of succession planning model, allowing for the identification of future leaders and the recognition of where talent gaps lie. However, these models rarely go any further than potential internal successors for a given position. As such, when recruitment needs arise, there can be a flurry of activity with a focus on trying to simply fill the job, rather than addressing strategic talent acquisition.

Over the longer term, a strategy can be executed to raise your company’s profile and increase your chances of bringing the absolute best candidates to your business, not just the best available.

As such, the process will bolster your own internal succession planning activities by identifying who are the talented individuals within your competitor organizations, and to find out through intelligence and possibly also, by making discreet contact, whether they would be likely to join your organization. This will give you the competitive advantage you need at a time when there are severe skill shortages in your sector.
