Our Unique Methodology

MATHS

We know that the right talent can make or break your business. That’s why we’ve developed our unique, outcome-based, strategic methodology.

It’s an approach designed to increase your ability to attract and recruit the best talent available, to take your business forward providing a total solution to address not only your immediate hiring needs, but also in helping you to achieve DE&I goals, plug knowledge gaps, aid succession planning and improve employee attrition.

  1. Map

    Our Talent Mapping solution is a crucial component of your talent planning strategy. It’s a process that allows you to qualify and quantify the market and confidentially assess prospective candidates from a distance.

    Where do we find the right talent? Where are they employed? How diverse is this pool?

    In a challenging market, identifying senior leaders or high-demand roles isn’t easy. Our research team helps you analyse the talent landscape, covering demographics, diversity, mobility, and key employers, to answer essential hiring questions.

    With these insights, we refine your talent strategy, pinpoint required skills, and assess your position against competitors. This informs how to enhance your employer brand and hire more effectively.

    As a foundation for talent pipelining, Talent Mapping ensures a strategic, efficient hiring approach.

  2. Assess

    Identifying the right candidates is just the first step: building meaningful connections is what drives success.

    At Manners Maclean, we understand the power of first impressions. Engaging candidates the right way, on their terms, ensures they have the clarity and confidence to make informed career decisions.

    We start by defining your company’s culture, values, and mission to shape a compelling employer brand. From there, we craft a tailored engagement strategy, mapping the candidate journey and ensuring consistent, impactful communication across all touchpoints.

    The result? A candidate experience that feels personal, authentic, and aligned with your business.

  3. Track

    Tracking talent effectively can be challenging, especially with a large candidate pool. That’s why we take a strategic, data-driven approach: establishing baseline metrics, defining key performance indicators (KPIs), and continuously refining strategies to improve outcomes.

    With ongoing monitoring, we ensure your business attracts, develops, and retains the right talent.

    We measure performance across three key areas:

    1. Mapping, sourcing and activation: assessing shortlist quality, acceptance rates, and retention throughout the hiring journey.
    2. Candidate engagement: tracking interactions at every touchpoint, from event participation to digital engagement, providing a clear view of brand connection.
    3. Conversion and insights: measuring critical hiring metrics like time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, and overall success in meeting client needs.

    By leveraging these insights, we fine-tune strategies to maximise impact and deliver better results.

  4. Hire

    It’s all about focus. We build talent strategies that deliver sustainable results across all the key business critical functions.

    There’s no doubt about it: finding the right senior team to grow your business is tough. You need people who are dedicated to your mission, who share your vision for success, and who will help you achieve it. But with so many competitors out there, it can be difficult to find the right people for the job.
