Talent Mapping FAQs
Talent mapping supports proactive recruitment by analysing an organisation’s current and future talent needs, helping employers anticipate workforce changes and plan ahead rather than reacting to shortages. It identifies high performers, skills gaps, and critical roles, enabling businesses to build a pipeline of talent and stay competitive in a shifting labour market
Talent mapping and workforce planning are related but not the same. Workforce planning focuses on forecasting overall staffing requirements, while talent mapping digs deeper into evaluating existing talent, potential, and development needs. Talent mapping creates a clear picture of the organisation’s talent pool—highlighting strengths and gaps—so workforce plans can be executed with the right people and skills in place.
