A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO
TALENT ACQUISITION 1
4. MAPPING
“We enjoy working with AC because
it feels like you are working with
colleagues rather than an outside
company. They get under your skin as
they understand your culture and the
type of people who will really fit in.”
HR Director,
GLOBAL INSURANCE BUSINESS
“I have been delighted with the service
I received from AC in a recent market
mapping exercise. Polished, thorough
and professional, they have provided
us with a great service.”
HEAD OF TALENT,
GLOBAL FMCG BUSINESS
WHAT CLIENTS SAY...
A view of the current talent landscape
but not involving candidate engagement.
5. Benefit
Armstrong 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.
Approach
Our 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.

6. PIPELINING
WHAT CLIENTS SAY...
“We benefit from AC’s flexible pipelining
model when we have limited knowledge of
particular markets/regions. As a trusted
partner, AC delivers great candidates for
hard to fill or niche roles.”
Head of GLOBAL STAFFING,
MULTINATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
A population of proactively generated,
assessed and engaged individuals who meet
your current and future hiring requirements.
7. Benefit
Armstrong 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.
Approach
We 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.

8. INSIGHT
WHAT CLIENTS SAY...
“We have gained value from some
excellent work from Armstrong
Craven. They are able to create
valuable business intelligence
and organisational insights that
feed directly into our business
considerations and help us make
strategic talent decisions.”
Head of TALENT SOLUTIONS,
GLOBAL HEALTHCARE COMPANY
Discreet and unique insight from and about
key talent in the market enabling better
informed decisions.
9. Benefit
Armstrong 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.
Approach
In 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.
