Rather than reacting to vacancies, talent mapping allows organizations to be proactive, ensuring a talent pipeline is always in place. Talent mapping also prevents the wrong candidates from taking over critical roles.

Here are 3 ways Wakefield Talabisco International is leveraging its expertise in talent mapping to help to deliver organizational continuity and long-term stability.

Competitive Intelligence: Benchmarking & Market Trends

Knowing what competitors are doing in terms of talent can offer insights into their strategic direction. Talent mapping provides a clearer view of the industry's talent landscape, giving organizations invaluable insight into compensation, skills availability, and emerging roles.

Business Agility & Risk Management

Talent mapping allows organizations of all sizes to build-out a quick response to changes in the market. Whether it's a sudden technological advancement or geopolitical shifts, knowing where to find the right talent quickly can give businesses a competitive edge. It also mitigates the impact of turnover. Since high attrition can disrupt operations, talent mapping ensures organizations have a ready list of potential candidates to minimize risk and eliminate downtime during critical periods of the search.

Optimize & Diversify Acquisitions

Not only does talent mapping highlight areas lacking diversity, but it allows organizations to intentionally source from diverse talent pools. Rather than casting a wide net, organizations can specifically target the talent they need, while improving cost efficiency and reducing time-to-hire.

With a clear map of potential candidates, organizations can reduce the hiring cycle, leading to savings in terms of time and resources. The outcome is a continuous period of optimized talent acquisition.
