Global Talent Mapping

Our talent mapping service gives organisations a clear view of the skills, experience and professionals available within a specific market. Through detailed research and competitor analysis, we help you understand where relevant talent is located, how accessible it may be and how your business can engage the right people for current or future workforce needs.

Trusted by leading global companies

Expand your team without expanding your complexity.

Effective workforce planning requires a clear understanding of the talent available across your industry. Whether you are preparing for business growth, entering a new market or developing a succession plan, talent mapping provides valuable insight before the recruitment process begins.

At Visuna, we conduct focused research into defined job functions, technical disciplines, geographic regions and competitor organisations. We identify professionals whose experience aligns with your requirements, providing a structured view of the potential talent pool and the organisations currently employing them.

Our research can include candidate locations, career histories, technical capabilities, seniority levels, market availability and likely motivations for considering a new opportunity. We can also provide insight into salary expectations, talent shortages, competitor activity and the challenges that may affect your ability to attract suitable candidates.

The resulting talent map can support immediate recruitment campaigns or form part of a longer-term workforce strategy. By building relationships with relevant professionals before a vacancy becomes urgent, your organisation can reduce time to hire, improve succession planning and make more informed recruitment decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how Visuna can support your Global Talent Mapping needs.

What is talent mapping?

Talent mapping is the process of researching and identifying professionals with relevant skills, experience and industry backgrounds within a defined market. It provides organisations with a detailed view of the available talent pool, including where potential candidates work, their level of seniority and how closely they match future hiring requirements.

How can talent mapping support our business?

Talent mapping can support workforce planning, succession management, market expansion, restructuring and future recruitment campaigns. It allows businesses to understand the availability of specialist talent, identify potential skills shortages and begin developing candidate relationships before positions become urgent.

What information is included in a talent map?

The information included depends on the scope of the project but may cover candidate names, current employers, job titles, locations, career histories, technical expertise and seniority levels. It can also include broader market insight such as salary expectations, competitor structures, talent movement and candidate availability.

Is talent mapping the same as recruitment?

Talent mapping is often completed before formal recruitment begins. Its purpose is to understand the market and identify potential candidates rather than immediately filling a vacancy. However, the research can be used to create a targeted shortlist and approach suitable professionals when the organisation is ready to recruit.

Can you map talent in specific companies or sectors?

Yes. We can focus the research on particular industries, technical disciplines, geographic locations or competitor organisations. The scope can be tailored around a single position, a complete team, a specialist skill set or the workforce structure of a defined market.

Can talent mapping be carried out internationally?

Yes. We can map talent across the UK and international markets, including professionals with experience in specific countries, operating environments and technical sectors. This is particularly valuable for organisations entering new regions, planning international projects or assessing the availability of local and expatriate talent.
