TCB 3: Where are your Qualified Candidates?

Where are your Experienced Candidates? A pool of experienced candidates is one of the three crucial elements to successful talent capture. So where are your top-tier candidates? In most cases the answer is; they are working for your competitors. Before you can cast your reel out into the water it is best to build a pond that has every qualified candidate within a reasonable commuting tolerance to your office or projects. Ask yourself; How many candidates is that?

For example, if you are seeking to hire a Senior Estimator, the two questions that you need answered are: How many competitors are in your market? And how many Senior Estimators or candidates ripe for the promotion to the Senior Estimator role are there in those companies? This is what is called a Mapped Market.
