A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO TALENT ACQUISITION 1

BenefitArmstrong Craven’s Mapping service enables organisations to get a view of the current talent landscape.

This is particularly important for those faced with identifying and recruiting candidates for scarce and senior positions.

We provide a high quality, cost-effective Mapping service, partnering an organisation’s internal talent acquisition team.

Our Mapping service is often used by businesses whose internal talent team requires additional support to boost the number of candidate targets.

Talent Mapping allows organisations to adopt a strategic rather than operational approach to hiring.

ApproachOur work illuminates the talent landscape, helping clients to establish target organisations, providing names, job titles and contact details – but does not yet involve any candidate engagement.

Clients often commission our Mapping service as a prelude to engaging Armstrong Craven to deliver our Pipelining service.

The Mapping process begins with a full briefing and client communication points being agreed.

Our experienced team of mapping and pipelining experts will then identify candidates through online and telephone research before filtering and assessing profiles.

The result will be a high-quality, comprehensive report that illuminates the research and gives a full understanding of the talent.

This is Armstrong Craven Mapping.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY...

A view of the current talent landscape but not involving candidate engagement.

BenefitArmstrong Craven Pipelining positions the development of your greatest business asset – people – as an integral part of your strategic planning.

Pipelining is fundamental to a business’s success now and in the future. Planning saves time, money, and manages risk for the future. Pipelining is about foresight: understanding the people implications of your broader business plans.

It’s about being ready for today’s and tomorrow’s business challenges. It’s about resilience; being ready to thrive in unexpected circumstances. And it’s about engaging now with the people who will run your business in the future.

We help talent leaders to integrate pipelining seamlessly into the overall business strategy.

ApproachWe work alongside business leaders to help design pipelining solutions that support broader business goals.

To hire the right people now and in the future, we help you to identify who and where they are. We help you to understand their aspirations and motivations – to understand how they see you so that you know what you need to do to hire them. By managing and shaping perceptions, we help people to see you in a better, truer light.

From initial contact to point of hire, we build relationships with them on your behalf. We nurture strong bonds between you, so that when you want to attract them, they’ll be attracted to you.

This is Armstrong Craven Pipelining.

BenefitArmstrong Craven Insight builds a richer picture of your business markets and prospective markets.

We already have deep knowledge of key industry sectors around the world.

In each, we go beyond the data and make it our business to keep abreast of trends and challenges in those markets, while identifying and tracking major players and emerging talents working in them.

This kind of intelligence can add great value to a research project, but much of it can’t be found in data. Its source? Talking to people.

There is no one-size-fits-all market intelligence. Every insight programme is crafted specifically for your business. We will build relationships in your business’s specific spheres of interest to bring you powerful intelligence in direct response to your particular needs.

Insight assignments include location research, reputation research, reward research, diversity and inclusion, attraction and retention challenges and competitor insight.

ApproachIn each of our core industry sectors, our team of experienced and professionally qualified experts will build a bespoke insight programme examining your particular business needs in whatever international marketplace may be required.

We merge traditional market intelligence analysis with digital data gathering techniques and intelligence from people to build a three dimensional picture of each market’s particular challenges, opportunities, trends and prospects.

We gather, sift and evaluate intelligence from the public domain. We collect opinions and perceptions from social media and online sources.

To these we add the third dimension of personal market insight from those involved in and with the market in focus. We’ll work alongside you to compare and interpret the resulting intelligence; to provide your business with unique and unparalleled insight and strategic recommendations.

This is Armstrong Craven Insight.
