Add the jobs you hire for and every tool in this journey computes on them: your wages, your competition, your talent shed.

Plan your workforce

Talent Blueprint

Plan your talent the way you plan your supply chain. Built on the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Talent Pipeline Management principles: name your key roles and leave with a plan you keep.

Built from The US Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Talent Pipeline Management curriculum, applied to this county's own labor data

TPM is a several-hundred-page employer-led methodology. This walks its core sequence against your roles and leaves you a plan you keep. Built on TPM principles; not endorsed or certified by the Chamber Foundation.

You are on Free. 1 of 3 tools in Plan your workforce are open to you. See what the other 2 add.

Start with your roles

The three to five roles that keep you up at night. One per line, or comma-separated.

Ten questions about how you hire today

Nothing is pre-selected on purpose: a Blueprint built from answers you never gave would read as yours and would not be.

1. Demand planning

How far ahead do you plan hiring for your critical roles? 1 = a rolling 12 to 24 month forecast by role, 4 = we hire only once a seat opens.

How well do you know projected openings, hiring competition, and pay for your key roles in this market? 1 = we track all three, 4 = we go on gut feel.

2. Competency and credential requirements

How clearly are the specific skills and credentials for each critical role defined? 1 = documented and current, 4 = not defined.

How often do candidates lack the specific credential rather than the general education level? 1 = rarely, 4 = almost always, and our postings screen on a degree as a proxy.

3. Talent flows

How well do you know the feeder occupations and sources your workers actually come from? 1 = we map them, 4 = we do not know.

How well do you know where you lose people to, and why? 1 = we track exits and destinations, 4 = we do not know.

4. Talent supply chains

How active are your relationships with the schools and programs that produce your talent? 1 = managed partnerships with named contacts, 4 = we post jobs and hope.

How connected are you to underused local talent pools (residents with disabilities, residents returning from incarceration, residents in recovery)? 1 = active pipeline, 4 = no connection.

5. Continuous improvement

How well do you measure pipeline performance, such as time to fill and where hires come from? 1 = we measure and act on it, 4 = we do not measure it.

How regularly do you revisit and adjust your talent plan? 1 = at least quarterly, 4 = never.

Talent Pipeline Management is a methodology of the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Talent Blueprint is an independent application of its published principles, guided by IHC's certified TPM practitioners.
