EXECUTIVE SEARCH AND TALENT ACQUISITION
Talent mapping
Map everyone holding a role across a defined set of companies, before you open a search.
A map with holes in it produces a shortlist that looks complete and is not.
A SWEEP ON THIS BRIEF
- Scope + tenure confirmed
- Appointment publicly announced
- Title matches, scope does not
- Wrong altitude for brief
- Left the company
- Contractor, not in seat
- No reach established
2 survived. The other 5 arrive too, each with the reason it failed.
The boundary.
Two answers define this brief. The second one is where the work is, and it is the question most teams never get asked.
WHAT COUNTS
Every person holding the target scope at the named companies, with tenure and the source the appointment was published in.
WHAT IS RULED OUT
Title matches where the scope does not. A VP at a 40-person company and a VP at a 4,000-person company are different jobs.
What a surviving row carries.
Every field below is either sourced or blank. Nothing on this list is inferred to fill a gap.
01
Tenure in seat, and where the appointment was announced
02
Actual scope, not the title alone
03
An explicit blank where reach could not be established
And one that did not make it.
Found, researched, thrown out — and sent to you anyway, with the reason. This is the half a data vendor never shows.
An exact title match
Title is Head of Revenue Operations; scope is two analysts and no systems ownership. Wrong altitude for the brief.
The same engine, other briefs.
Nothing above is specific to this job. Change what counts and what is ruled out, and the sweep does something else.
