What Is Talent Mapping

Know Your Market
Before You Move

This service helps you understand where qualified candidates are located, how competitive the market is, what skills are available, and what challenges can affect future hiring.

Our use of Talent Mapping at the company is to help businesses in making wise staffing decisions, lowering risk, and getting ready for expansion through flexibility in the recruitment plan.

Proven Outcomes

Results That Speak

Real outcomes from clients who used Aurrum Talent Mapping as the foundation for their search.

60%

Reduction in Time-to-Hire

A technology client reduced their average time-to-hire for senior software engineers from 11 weeks to under 5 weeks after implementing a talent mapping foundation across three markets.

180+

Named Candidates Identified

For a healthcare organisation entering the Australian market, we identified 180+ named candidates matching their specialist nursing leadership profile — before they'd opened their first office.

22%

Salary Adjustment Avoided

A financial services client was budgeting 22% below market rate. Our salary benchmarking data allowed them to adjust before going live — preventing a failed search and reputational damage with candidates.

4/6

C-Suite Roles Filled From Map

A scale-up in the UK used talent mapping for all six C-suite hires over 18 months. Four of the six final hires came directly from the mapped candidate longlists — zero agency fees on those placements.

Aurrum's talent mapping completely changed how we approach hiring. Instead of reacting to vacancies, we now have a living pipeline of pre-identified candidates across all our key roles. When our CTO left unexpectedly, we had names to call the same week. We made an offer within 18 days — our fastest senior hire ever.
