TALENT MARKET MAPPING

How to Map Your Entire AEC Hiring Market Before You Recruit

Quick answer

Before choosing a recruiting channel, define the actual market for the job. AEC talent mapping means identifying everyone who plausibly fits the role, verifying the important criteria and understanding the depth of the pool before outreach begins.

Start with the job criteria

Use discipline, geography, licensure, experience, project background and client exposure to define the market.

Separate must-haves from preferences

Treating every preference as mandatory can shrink the pool artificially. Map the non-negotiables first, then prioritize within the pool.
