What is talent mapping and acquisition?
Talent mapping is used to forecast long-term hiring needs in order to identify future positions. Essentially, talent mapping bridges the gap between your company goals and the team required to fulfil them. The focus is on the long-term, rather than on meeting monthly targets. This gives your business a comprehensive view of who you’ll need to hire in order to reach those future goals.
Talent acquisition focuses on developing a long-term strategy to find the right leaders and executives for your company. We take the time to understand the strategic aims of your business, providing a flexible and dynamic approach to finding candidates. Talent acquisition helps to find the perfect candidates for positions that require a very specific skill set but that also fit within your team. We understand the importance of strong working relationships which is why our strategy will evolve to fit your team. Our talent acquisition process helps to make your company the most attractive place for quality talent to thrive.

What are the benefits of talent acquisition and mapping?
Our talent acquisition and mapping strategy has several key benefits for the success of your business:
- Fills roles efficiently- talent mapping and acquisition plans for the future, meaning the necessary resources and steps are taken for a role far in advance.
- Reduces risk – the strategic planning process that goes into mapping and acquisition means that we understand your business and the candidates you need for success. This reduces the risk of a wrong hire or not building the right team for your long-term goals.
- Focuses on the future – the key focus of talent mapping and acquisition is on the long-term goals of your business. This means that future hires can be anticipated and every hire has a long-term intention. The key focus is on the potential of candidates and if they’ll be able to be eventual leaders.
- Improved candidate experience – having a reliable strategy in place with clear business objectives makes it much easier to find the right candidates and offers a smooth, effective hiring process.
- Fills your talent pipeline – perhaps you’re not hiring right now but want to prepare for the future. Talent mapping and acquisition plans ahead so your talent pipeline is full of qualified candidates that meet your business goals.
How does our talent acquisition and mapping process work?
With a key focus on the long-term goals of your business, our talent acquisition and mapping process focuses on getting to know your organisation first.
- Identify goals and future team requirements
A key part of talent mapping is aligning business goals and future staffing objectives. By taking a look at overarching business goals and where you want the company to be in five, ten or twenty years, we’re able to shape what a successful team might look like for you. This can help to identify areas where the team may be lacking support.
- Competitor and market analysis
By researching direct competitors and your industry market, we’re able to identify the right structure and candidates for your business objectives. We can help shine a light on any job titles that may be currently missing within your team.
- Curating a talent pipeline
Once we’ve carried out extensive talent mapping, we’re able to move on to the acquisition stage by building a pipeline of high-quality candidates. This talent pipeline is curated based on your future business needs, meaning the candidates are ready to explore when you are.

FAQs about
Talent Acquisition and Mapping
Talent Acquisition enables you to look beyond an individual’s obvious credentials and see the possibilities for the future. Most people can be trained for a position, so finding a candidate with the right attitude and personality can make all the difference in your long-term success
Executive Search means that you’re looking to recruit someone to your team within (usually) a short time frame to fulfil a specific need or requirement, and in order to fill a vacancy.
Talent Acquisition, on the other hand, is the process of strategically looking for specialists, leaders, future executives, or other qualified professionals for a specific position you anticipate wishing to fill in the future, be it as part of your broader Succession Planning or to lead a specific project such as a new product launch.
The top two benefits are:
- Avoids unnecessary financial risk if search fees are paid only to find that the new hire does not fit into future resource strategies
- Keeps your talent pipeline continuously refreshed and running at optimal capacity
