Talent Mapping & BUSINESS Intelligence
We believe in the power of research.
Working in partnership with our clients from the outset, our Talent Intelligence & Assessment Team devises a bespoke and robust search plan, combining years of experience and AI-enabled technology for talent mapping that adds real value.
Within Livingston James, we have a highly skilled Talent Intelligence & Assessment Team focused on diligently mapping appropriate markets to build and engage high-calibre talent pools.
Clients may wish to carry out talent mapping as a valuable standalone service for several reasons, such as:
- Providing confidence prior to internal promotion / succession planning
- Examining the market before committing to an external appointment
- Understanding the landscape prior to Board and Non-Executive Director planning
- Supporting organisational restructuring / role design
- Exploring the available talent pool prior to market entry / expansion
- Carrying out due-diligence ahead of investment
Through effective project management and a data-driven approach, the Talent Intelligence & Assessment Team gathers market intelligence and insights throughout the process, which is shared with clients to enhance knowledge, understanding and decision making. This allows clients to build a picture of their competitor or industry landscape, gaining critical insight into external candidates’ skills and capabilities, whilst highlighting the geographical distribution of talent.
This diligent approach ultimately ensures thorough talent decisions are made, and true impact is delivered on the role and the organisation.
Our talent mapping services can be carried out globally as part of an international search or market mapping exercise. Please see further details on our Global Reach page.
