Adam Lamprey: Unlocking Strategic Talent Solutions Yielding Significant Business Outcomes

Talent Analytica is a recruitment search & talent advisory specializing in data science & analytics. The company's full suite of data-driven talent strategy solutions supports its clients with hiring, developing & retaining top talent so their businesses can thrive.

An Experienced Leader Bridging Market Gaps

Adam Lamprey has 22 years of experience in the recruitment industry. Originally from the UK, he moved to Singapore in 2008. Adam has designed regional talent solutions & led large global talent teams hiring thousands of incredibly talented people. Most recently, he was the Senior Director of Talent Attraction for Indeed.com, the largest global HRtech company. Adam launched Talent Analytica because he saw a gap in the market for a strategic boutique search & talent advisory specializing in data science & analytics. He says, "We act as a strategic partner to our clients, developing their talent strategy & helping them attract the very best talent in the market, advising them on how to improve their recruitment & hiring processes and positioning them as the employer of choice in the market."

Amalgamation of Passion and Guesswork

The majority of Adam's career has been in technology recruitment. Data analytics has always been his passion; the company has embedded it in its talent solutions. Adam says, "Recruitment can be very subjective; we try and take the guesswork out with models & assessments to predict the future success of hiring."

Blooming Through the Challenges

Talent Analytica has been 22 years in the making – it is a complete talent solutions firm that supports companies with up-leveling their talent strategy. Adam spent three months meeting senior business & HR leaders to understand their top 3 challenges – the top 3 were –  hiring, engagement, and retention.

He asserts, "Every company has unique talent needs in attracting and retaining top talent, meaning our executive search & talent strategy solutions need to be equally as unique, flexible, and customized to fulfill our client's needs."

Adam continues,  "Our talent advisory practice takes a holistic approach to solving your challenges with tailored talent strategy solutions across search, strategy, advisory & execution."

Staying Abreast

According to Adam, the speed of change in data is extraordinary, so keeping up with the latest trends, being two steps ahead of the market on what technology is coming down the pipeline and how they are bringing that into senior-level discussions on the technology & data road map. The most important attribute is having the commercial lens and the business impact technology has on business outcomes. He also thinks data governance & management is a critical attribute.

Innovate or Perish

The company adopts a data-driven approach using the latest AI recruitment tools blended with its global network and experience. It is a data & relationship-driven firm.

Adapting New Technologies

Emphasizing disruptive technologies, Adam says, "It lowers the barriers to entry of startups & entrepreneurs; it provides much more scalable, more powerful tools at a cheaper cost." He continues that CPT 1-3 has been around for many years; however, with LLMs bridged over into the consumer side where this link was missing, this has ignited a lot more buzz and awareness of the power. Many of their data consulting clients get at least one new inquiry daily with the same question – "How can ChatGPT help my business?"

Tech Forward

Talent Analytica is well placed to build a global network of the top data, AI, and technology talent; the value is access to this network, who trust them and will pick up the phone for a strategic career discussion about an opportunity. No AI sourcing tool can replace this. But Adam and his team are always testing & using new tools to assess and identify trends and predictive modeling in employment tenure with intervention strategies. He says, "For example, we can predict when employees are most likely to explore opportunities outside their current company and can have a strategy in place to engage them. Another example is we use advanced neuroscience to predict cultural fit in a new company. Another example is we can assess the strength capabilities of new leaders via advanced analytics based on assessments & generate development plans to help that leader."

Passing on the Knowledge

Adam advises staying commercially relevant at all levels – understanding the business problem, outcome, and value. The best tech leaders can converse with the tech team and the business and connect the 2. As you move up the ladder, become a great leader, provide mentorship, coaching & support so your team can be successful – lead with empathy, create a team that will follow you and who buys into your vision, lead with empathy, and manage expectations well.
