Our approach
Through our talent mapping service, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the labor market, identifying organizational structures, key positions, and critical capabilities within the industry.
This strategic information enables our clients to anticipate future needs, understand the availability and dynamics of specialized talent, and make informed decisions regarding attraction, development, and succession.
Our approach combines in-depth market analysis with a strong understanding of the business and its operational challenges, helping organizations strengthen their ability to access, attract, and retain high-performing professionals in an increasingly competitive environment.
It is important to note that our mapping service includes an initial phase focused on gathering basic information: personal data, current position, and the company where each mapped professional is employed. In a second phase, we conduct direct outreach and a preliminary interview. Finally, and according to the defined criteria, we prepare a Profile Summary for each selected candidate.
Phase I
Understanding the requirement
To ensure a successful Mapping process, it is essential for Downing Teal to have a clear understanding of the overall objective, as well as the scope and responsibilities of the role under analysis. It is necessary to precisely define the required knowledge, technical competencies, personal attributes, and key challenges associated with the position.
Likewise, we consider this initial stage critical for aligning expectations.
Market Review and Talent Identification
Our mapping processes are based on identifying potential candidates through multiple sources. We conduct direct research in both local and international markets and leverage our ATS, which contains information on more than 50,000 professionals—primarily from the mining sector—worldwide. We complement this search with the use of broad-reach professional platforms with which we maintain long-standing agreements.
Additionally, we expand our talent identification efforts through referrals within our extensive network of industry contacts.
Preparation of the Longlist
The preliminary list of professionals is reviewed internally to analyze in detail their technical profiles, career backgrounds, and the aspects identified as relevant by the client. Following this assessment, we refine the list and select those who best align with the requirements, forming the Longlist that will be presented to the client.
Phase II
Candidate Contact
Based on the Longlist provided, we initiate the outreach phase to assess each professional’s interest and availability in considering a potential career move. We develop a tailored set of questions to gather key information regarding their technical profile, career background, and other attributes identified as relevant. During this stage, we also invite professionals to share their complete and updated credentials with us.
Delivery of Profile Sheet
The information gathered in the previous stages allows us to deliver a Profile Sheet for each preselected candidate, providing a preliminary assessment of their technical competencies, motivations, and other relevant aspects.
