Succession planning
Succession planning is about being future-ready. Organisations with a focus on minimising disruption know the importance of securing a robust talent pipeline by proactively identifying, assessing and engaging future leaders.
Six Degrees draw on strong networks of talent, rigorous search methodology and an in-depth assessment of both internal and external talent to ensure clients have the right talent in place at the right time, to meet the changing needs of an organisation.
Talent mapping
Often used by HR specialists and Boards, talent mapping provides a strategic tool that can be used to plan for long-term talent acquisition by gaining a comprehensive view of the current talent landscape.
Six Degrees use in-depth market intelligence and organisational research to compile a confidential analysis of talent pools to identify suitable executive-level talent that matches your organisation’s unique objectives. We conduct a detailed briefing process, which includes a deep dive into your business objectives, short-term requirements, and long-term talent strategy. Clients receive a comprehensive report that reduces search time, saves money and mitigates risk.
BENEFITS OF TALENT MAPPING
- You can analyse talent at competitor and target organisations to gain an understanding of salary data, current talent in the market, and organisational strategies used to attract and retain talent.
- Succession planning strategies help you identify and cultivate individuals internally in an organisation who are ready to ‘step up’.
- Diversity planning can help you identify talent internally and establish relationships with talent in the market to meet your diversity needs.
- Provides market analysis and strategic information to help you assess whether an Executive Search process is required to ensure the right talent is in place.
- Provides additional talent acquisition and advisory support for internal recruitment teams that lack the capacity or specialist skills to assess talent.
Talent pipelining
Talent pipelining involves building long-term professional relationships with passive talent to create a pool of high-quality candidates who are ready to fill a position when it becomes available. It is about being future-ready in a world that is constantly changing.
Through this process, Six Degrees helps clients shift from reactive to proactive recruiting. It will provide your business with a competitive advantage through engaging with the right talent now, who will become your future leaders.
Six Degrees works with client leadership teams to develop a comprehensive talent pipeline brief to agree on parameters. We then use rigorous research and search methodologies to identify potential candidates, helping clients understand their aspirations, motivations and what it will take to bring them into your organisation. We help shape and manage perceptions, promote your Employee Value Proposition to identified candidates, build relationships on your behalf, and actively nurture a vibrant network of high-achieving career aspirants for your business.
BENEFITS OF TALENT PIPELINING
- Pipelining talent is critical for future business success; it reduces time to fill and therefore potential revenue loss associated with having a position vacant.
- Develop an engaged talent ‘bench’, build relationships with top-tier talent and create an ‘on-demand’ pipeline of top talent to keep you ahead of unexpected vacancies and reduce the potential time to hire.
- Move from reactive recruitment to the development of a proactive talent pipeline – access to the right talent at the right time allows your business to be future-focused, to act quickly and respond to market changes and challenges.
- Capture critical data such as skills, qualifications, experience, remuneration expectations, cultural fit and potential attraction strategies to recruit talent into your business.
- Our talent pipelining services are perfect for small to medium organisations whose internal team don’t have the capacity or specialist skills to deliver detailed, ongoing market research and provides the ability to tap into Six Degrees local and international talent pools.
