Our Solution
A fully comprehensive target company list and programme of talent mapping to identify female leadership talent across 4 core Engineering disciplines was scoped.
At the client’s request, the talent mapping was concentrated on European countries aligned to their current locations.
Following the creation of a thorough and extensive talent map of world-class female Engineering talent, a programme of discrete communications with the Engineering leaders was deployed.
Parkhouse Bell facilitated highly confidential individual engagement with the Engineering professionals.
We introduced each of them to the prospect of considering our client as a potential next career step option. A bespoke talent pipeline of world-class female talent was thereby created on behalf of our client.
The Outcome
Our client received a fully comprehensive talent map of all female leadership talent of relevance across multiple European geographies.
Within just 6 weeks, our client made 2 leadership appointments from the talent pipeline.
An additional 4 appointments were made in the following 10 months.
