Bloom Consulting, in a strategic joint venture project with a software company, was requested to conduct a study assessing the talent attraction risk of a new mining investment in the City of Tete, Mozambique.
As we began the project, our experts had to tackle the challenge of gathering necessary data from the limited regional information available in order conduct a comprehensive initial assessment of local talent and calculate the potential gap between the talent demands of the investment and the talent supply of Tete. By taking advantage of our proprietary methodologies and key network connections, we were able to collect and analyze data related to the Talent Dimension of the Country which had previously been unavailable in Mozambique.
Our efforts led to the production of a Talent Index, spanning every region in Mozambique, which successfully measured local talent gaps in the short-, medium-, and long-term. Our analysis contributed to the development of several cost-benefit scenarios, focusing not only on the cost of attracting talent from other regions in Mozambique and overseas, but also on forecasting the most cost-effective way to train and relocate local talent.
