Competencies
The Universal Language for Talent Management
Industry-Specific Competencies
In partnership with HRSG and IBM, TalentGuard offers the most robust ready to use library of industry-specific competencies and job profiles. Our talent framework library is composed of 2,500 competencies and more than 3,000 job roles ready for use in our Talent Management Suite. Our focus on iterating competencies rather than creating them saves HR time and money, and reduces risks common with rolling out competency initiatives.
TalentGuard’s competency library is organized into four categories including: Core (impact to culture and values), Leadership (impact to strategic management skills), Functional (impact to job families) and Technical (impact to the specific job role). Each job profile defines key responsibilities, job level, core competencies, functional and technical skills, interview questions, coaching tips, SMART goals and prescriptive learning suggestions.
TalentGuard’s consulting team helps you customize, control and publish job-related content that matches your skills-based workforce development strategy.
