Why You Should Invest in Talent Mapping
You may be thinking this isn’t the right time to bring on a new hire. With budgets, the economy and quarantine policies in flux, you may not be ready to make a commitment, not only to a new employee, but also to the time and money that a recruitment and onboarding process will take. “While it may not be the ideal landscape for expanding your team, it’s always a good time to invest in talent mapping,” says Gillian Tessis, founder and managing partner of Gillian Tessis Executive Search, in a new report.
What is talent mapping? This exercise is typically conducted by an executive search partner, or an HR professional. “It’s a process of researching the talent landscape, determining who’s out there, what skills they possess, what their compensation expectations are, and what their interest/availability is to make a move,” said Ms. Tessis. “With talent mapping, you get a broad view of the talent pool. So not only are you ready with qualified candidates when the time is right, but you’ll also have a higher likelihood of closing the deal as you’ve essentially warmed up leads and have a better understanding of what they’re looking for.”
