How do I Create a Talent Map?

Please note that only individuals with the Super Admin, Talent Admin, or Talent Specialist Role can create Talent Maps.

1. Adding a New Talent Map

Navigate to Talent Management, then Talent Maps.

Click on Add Map in the top right corner of your Map dashboard. You will then be prompted to enter a Map Name and a Map Description, and whether you wish to capture employee interest. Please note that you can edit these aspects of your Map at a later date by navigating to the Info tab and clicking on Edit, next to Details.

When you access your Map, you will see an invitation to add Opportunities and Employees. There is no particular order in which you must add Opportunities, Employees, or Collaborators. You can add them in the order that suits your ideal workflow.

2. Setting Up Collaborators

Only those listed in the Company tab can be added as Collaborators. You can find the detailed steps on how to add people to the Company tab here.

In the Collaborators tab of the Map, click on Add Collaborators. You can then search for individuals based on their first name, last name, or email address. 

Read this article and access the User Permissions Level > Talent Management section for a list of all tasks associated to Map Collaborators Permissions.

Please note that individuals with the Super Admin or Talent Admin role have access to all Talent Maps and features. ​Individuals with the Talent Specialist role have full permissions only on jobs that they are a Collaborator for. Any Map Collaborator (added on a per-Map basis) that do not have such user role will only have visibility to the Map that they are a Collaborator for. Please find the detailed list of roles and permissions here. 

      3. Adding Map Employees

Only individuals with "employee" status listed on the Company tab can be added. Individuals with "non-employee" status cannot be added to the Employees tab of a Map. You can find the detailed steps on how to add employees to the Company tab here.

The Employees tab in Talent Maps functions in the same way as the Employees tab in other Talent Collections. 

To add employees to your Map, navigate to the Employees tab and Click on Add Employees.

Search for one or more employees by name or email address and select one or more employees from the drop-down. Search for employees within an existing talent collection (Group, Map, Cohort) by collection name and import that entire collection into the Cohort. Select one or more collections from the drop-down to import all employees within that collection.

The import from collections feature is not dynamic. If additional employees are added to or removed from a collection after that collection has been imported, it will not be updated in the Cohort. You must re-add the collection to reflect the changes. 

​

4. Adding Opportunities

Navigate to the Opportunities tab and click on Add Opportunity.

You can find more details about adding, removing or editing Opportunities here.

5. Adding a Match Criteria to an Opportunity

When you add an Opportunity, you have the ability to import a Match Criteria. Please note that you can always create the Map without Match Criteria and add it later. In that case, the Opportunity will display Not yet defined in the Key Dimensions column.

Read this article for more information about adding, viewing and editing the Match Criteria of an Opportunity.
