Strategic Talent Planning
An evidence-based consulting project led by an experienced team with expertise in the function or Industry.
These projects are useful for engaging senior stakeholders around future function planning where the critical experiences required in a role or function are different to the current environment, or for insights into competitor talent strategy. Scenarios businesses use our mapping insights for include:
- Growth
- Change & transformation
- New market entrance
- Shifting competitive landscape
- Competitor/industry analysis
- Functional structure, teams and key players
- Future function analysis
Within our talent mapping process, we work with you to select a number of relevant companies to focus on, typically either competitors or businesses from an industry or specific capability that is of particular interest. We uncover how diverse their team is, the industries they hire from, the structure of their business functions, who the key executives are and other valuable insights.

Talent Mapping, Talent Pipelining & Succession Planning
Our talent pipelining services build a talent pool around your specific requirements with insights into the size, shape and diversity of that talent pool. Talent mapping and market research projects are ideally suited for when the critical experiences required for the role are well understood.
These executive talent mapping projects are modular and can include:
- Global, regional or country focus
- Specific focus on diversity
- Career path analysis
- Industry background analysis
- Availability and interest checking
- Compensation benchmarking
- Assessment of candidate suitability against your criteria
With over 20 years experience identifying and assessing executives internationally for some of the worlds’ biggest brands, we have a proven track record of accurately and thoroughly talent mapping markets to identify hard to find individuals. Our research teams know and understand their markets inside out, positioning them uniquely with access to diverse global networks, business intelligence and insight.

EVP Candidate Story Packs
Most of our clients are on a transformation journey and some can struggle with candidate engagement due to historic perception challenges that exist with their brand. This can range from negative sentiment due to the industry they are in or simply not being known as a contemporary business on an exciting transformation journey.
We create custom candidate story packs which position the opportunity at your business in the most compelling way possible. These mobile optimised, interactive stories improve candidate engagement so that larger numbers of candidates flow through to later stages of the hiring process.
Our team will take a combination that includes interviewing key stakeholders blended with an in-depth online review and our expertise in talent acquisition to promote your company and increase engagement with hard to hire candidates.

Increase Executive Diversity
Increasing executive diversity requires looking outside of the obvious places for talent. Our talent mapping and executive talent insight services combine sophisticated executive talent mapping technology with our research teams’ specialist knowledge and experience.
This approach allows us to rapidly cover the market, introduce fresh ideas into the search strategy and identify diverse candidates that others miss.
