Talent Intelligence Consulting

How we help

Talent Intelligence can be established as a stand-alone function, as additional capabilities attached to a Talent Acquisition team, an extension to people analytics within HR, or a branch of business intelligence that connects to Talent and HR. 

Building on 30 years of experience in partnering with global, blue-chip organisations, we provide clients with the tools, training, expertise and capacity to realise immediate benefits from Talent Intelligence. We set out the strategies and roadmaps for scaling and developing the function, creating a competitive advantage for your business.

Whether you are building a Talent Intelligence function from scratch, augmenting or upskilling an existing Talent Acquisition team, or looking to build on existing talent intelligence capabilities, we will develop a proposal and framework to help achieve your goals.

We start with an initial consultation to understand your goals and to get to know your unique context. This includes an analysis of your current capabilities, technology and tools, processes, current operating model, stakeholders and current vendors. We then work with you to develop a model that applies leading talent intelligence capabilities into your business environment to ensure success.

What is Talent Intelligence?

Talent Intelligence is the identification and analysis of information about the external talent landscape to support business decisions. Combined with the internal view offered by HR Analytics, Talent Intelligence creates a 360-degree view to support more informed strategic talent decisions. 

External talent data has never been more readily available, and data-driven insights gained through Talent Intelligence not only inform organisational design but allow you to better understand the challenges facing a particular team, better plan compensation and benefits and gain insight into how leading companies are organised and why.

Talent Intelligence isn't exclusively related to talent acquisition. It can provide insight into competitor activity as well as being used to inform real estate decisions and merger and acquisition activity.

The Benefits of Talent Intelligence

  • Tailored, strategic insights into talent demographics, skills, roles, functions and geographies drive better-informed business decisions
  • Intelligence on competitor activity feeds into HR, merger and acquisitions teams, strategic planning and driving better business decision making
  • Talent Intelligence teams elevate HR and Talent groups with data
  • Enables the talent function as a true, data-enabled business partner
  • Diagnose talent challenges including employer branding, retention, compensation and benefits, and diversity
  • Inform HR and Talent strategy including location decisions, organisational design and D&I strategy
