Talent Need Analysis

Not knowing your long-term talent needs is like building a house without a blueprint. You might start laying bricks, but without understanding the owner’s requirements, you risk creating something that won’t meet future needs. Just like building a house takes time and effort, so does developing the right talent, skills, and competencies. It’s essential to work strategically and systematically to secure the key building blocks of your organization.

A clear understanding and visualization of your core competencies and target groups lay the foundation for many HR initiatives, including:

  • External recruitment and consultancy intake
  • Learning & development and internal mobility
  • Employer branding

 

This knowledge also ensures that your talent strategy is future-proof and that your talent functions are better aligned with your business goals.

Are you certain which competencies and skills are critical for effectively executing your business strategy? If not, there is room for significant improvement and quick wins.

With a solid understanding and visualization of your core competencies, you can:

  • Move from reactive, short-term fixes to proactive talent management
  • Secure both internal and external talent pools for critical competencies
  • Build a stronger foundation for reskilling, upskilling, and nurturing key competencies, which will increase retention and reduce the need for costly recruitment and onboarding
  • Ensure faster and more precise talent processes, with the right skills available at the right time

Get to know your Target Groups and Core Competencies

If you’re looking for an initiative that quickly leads to significant improvements and provides a strong return on investment, conducting an analysis to understand your core competencies is the way to go!

Our Talent Need Analysis builds a solid foundation to ensure your business is equipped with the talent it needs for the future.

Often, we focus equally on all competencies, but not all competencies are equally important or difficult to acquire. It’s essential to identify the competencies your organization will need in the short and long term and analyze these needs from various perspectives to ensure effective talent management and goal achievement.

By gathering data, conducting workshops and analysis, and reporting and discussing our insights, we develop a Talent Need Analysis that explores key questions such as:

  • Which competencies are absolutely essential for your business to reach its goals?
  • Which competencies do you need the most of in terms of volume?
  • How do you see your competency needs changing over time? Which competencies are likely to grow in demand, decrease, or even become digitized?
  • How complex or resource-intensive is it to develop the competencies you need?
  • Which competencies are the hardest to attract in today’s talent market?
  • What does your current talent pool look like, and how well does it align with your evolving talent needs?
  • What is the most effective way to acquire each of your most important core competencies for the future?


This process helps you move from reacting to urgent talent needs and vacancies to proactively building internal and external talent pools.

As a result, you will:

  • Have the right skills in place when you need them
  • Make talent management and acquisition more effective.
  • Enhance career development, retention, and employee engagement
