Activate Role Data Across the Talent Lifecycle
Connected to each Success Profile are job descriptions and interview guides that ensure consistency and fairness across hiring processes. Each guide is aligned to the skills and competencies proven to drive success—helping recruiters and hiring managers evaluate candidates with confidence and precision.

Make Evidence-Based Decisions
Make informed talent decisions when it comes to the availability, trainability, and value of critical skills with built-in market data and skills reports. Compare roles side-by-side, identify gaps, and determine where to prioritize internal development and mobility versus sourcing external talent.
