Talent Market Map
Build a sourcing plan from real market signals
Creates a targeted sourcing strategy: titles, adjacent roles, competitor companies, niche communities, and messaging angles based on the role and market constraints.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Talent Market Map". Inputs: - Role + level + location/remote - Must-have skills/tooling - Target industries (if any) - Comp range (optional) - Timeline urgency Output: 1) Title taxonomy (primary titles + adjacent titles) 2) Skill synonyms and keyword variations (for search) 3) Target company list (by cluster: direct competitors, adjacent, "talent factories") 4) Candidate personas (2–4) with motivators and objections 5) Sourcing channel plan (LinkedIn, referrals, communities, events, alumni, etc.) 6) Outreach angles (5 hooks) aligned to personas 7) Risks and mitigations (thin pool, comp mismatch, remote constraints) Keep it practical and role-specific.
How It Works
Describe the role and constraints. The skill maps out where your candidates
are, what titles they hold, and how to reach them.
What You Get
- Title taxonomy (primary + adjacent titles)
- Skill synonyms and keyword variations for search
- Target company clusters (competitors, adjacent, talent factories)
- 2–4 candidate personas with motivators and objections
- Sourcing channel plan (LinkedIn, communities, events, etc.)
- 5 outreach hooks aligned to personas
- Risk assessment and mitigations
Setup Steps
- Define the role, level, and location/remote setup
- List must-have skills and target industries
- Add comp range and timeline if you have them
- Use the output to build your sourcing campaign
Tips
- Adjacent titles are where the hidden talent lives
- Candidate personas help the whole team align on who you're after
- Re-run when market conditions shift (layoffs, funding rounds, etc.)
- Combine with the Boolean Query Builder for search strings
