Talent mapping before you hire.
Know the market, the compensation, and the location before the role opens.
Talent mapping is research that identifies every credible candidate and employer for a defined role and market before a search begins. Mindpool USA delivers written maps covering competitor org structures, candidate availability, compensation benchmarks, and location trade-offs — used to de-risk leadership hires, new-site decisions, and funded expansion plans.
What a map contains
A named universe of candidates by employer and level, current compensation ranges, movement patterns, and an assessment of realistic time-to-hire in each candidate location. Maps are written to be usable by your leadership team, not just recruiters.
- Named candidate universe by employer and seniority
- Compensation benchmarks by market and level
- Location comparison for new sites and hybrid policies
- Feasibility view: realistic time-to-hire and likely blockers
