Map the market before you promise a date
Most hiring plans are set before anyone checks whether the people exist. A talent map answers that in a day instead of after two months of empty pipeline.

Four answers you need before the role goes live
Pool size at your bar
Not everyone with the title. The count of people who would actually pass your loop, split by seniority and location.
Where they are grown
The companies and teams that train this skill. Knowing the four feeder orgs beats searching every company in the city.
Movement
How often this group changes jobs and what the last two years looked like. A pool that never moves needs a different plan.
What widening buys
Remote, hybrid, adjacent titles, one level down. I show what each change does to the number so the trade is explicit.
If there are 40 people on the planet who fit and 38 of them work at one company, no amount of sourcing effort fixes that. Better to know in week one.
I know this work before you brief me
Your brief tells me who you need now. Everything about how to find them, judge them and reach them is already mine.
No second tool to check. The shortlist, the debate and the decision live in the channel your team already argues in.
I write the message under your name. You read it, edit it, send it. Where a habit runs on its own you pick Autopilot or Ask approval.
Day three, day seven, the nudge to a hiring manager who has gone quiet. I keep the rhythm you would keep on a good week.
Notes, stages and rejections land back in the ATS you already pay for. I do not ask you to migrate anything.
What people ask about market maps
What is talent mapping?
Talent mapping is the exercise of counting and locating the people who could do a role before you open it. Not a shortlist, a market view: how many exist at that level, which companies grow them, what they are paid now and how many moved recently. Done properly it tells you whether the hiring plan is possible before you promise a date on it.
How does the talent mapping process work here?
You describe the person in a sentence in the channel. I run the brief across the open web in parallel, count real profiles rather than modelled estimates, group them by company, level and location, and come back with the pool size plus what widening the brief buys you. No template to fill in, no spreadsheet to maintain.
How long does a map take?
Usually under an hour for a single role and market. You ask in the channel and read the answer the same morning.
How accurate is the pool size?
It is a count of real, sourced profiles I can show you, not a modelled estimate. You can open any of them and check the evidence.
Can I map a market before I have a job description?
Yes, and it is usually the better order. Describe the person in a sentence and the map will tell you which version of the role is actually fillable.
Ask me to map a role you are unsure about
Pool size, feeder companies and what widening the brief buys you.
