Human Talent

Decisions about people often require more than intuition. Having the right information and, when needed, specialized support can help organizations make those decisions with greater clarity.

This capability may be useful when:

• you need to better understand a person before bringing them into a role;
• an organization wants to complement its selection process with objective information;
• you want to understand the strengths, characteristics and development areas of employees or teams;
• promotion, development or internal mobility decisions require additional information;
• the organization needs to strengthen the way it assesses or manages talent;
• specific people-management challenges require the involvement of a specialist;
• the organization needs to review, structure or evolve a practice related to its people.

Depending on the need, we can work through R5 Human Talent, our psychometric assessment platform, through specialized Human Talent Management consulting, or by combining both approaches when appropriate.

The starting point is understanding what decision the organization needs to make and what information or support can help make that decision better.

This capability is built around two complementary approaches: technology to assess and better understand people, and specialized support to address talent management needs.

R5 Human Talent

R5 Human Talent is our talent assessment platform, designed to understand people from different perspectives and provide useful information for decision-making.

It integrates assessments of abstract reasoning, emotional competencies and workplace personality, which can be used independently or together depending on what the organization needs to understand.

Results are presented in a clear and actionable way, with indicators that help interpret the information within the context of the individual, the role and the organization.

R5 Human Talent provides evidence for better decisions. It does not make decisions for the organization.

Human Talent Management Consulting

When the need requires specialized support, we can bring in consulting partners with experience in human talent management.

The intervention can be adapted to the organization’s specific challenge and address processes, practices or decisions related to how people are integrated, developed, assessed or managed.

When both approaches complement each other

In some projects, assessment may be part of a broader intervention. In those cases, the information generated by R5 Human Talent can be complemented by the judgment and guidance of specialists in talent management.

Technology provides information; experience and context turn it into useful decisions for the organization.

Technical skills and experience remain important, but they do not fully explain how a person will perform within an organization.

The way someone relates to others, responds under pressure, takes responsibility, communicates, learns and works toward results can be equally important to how a team functions.

That is why we seek to provide information and judgment that help organizations better understand people within the context in which they will work, complementing experience and technical competencies with other relevant elements for decision-making.

It is not only about selecting people. It is about building teams that can work together, develop and deliver results.

We first understand what decision the organization needs to make, the context surrounding it and what information could help make that decision with greater clarity.

When the need involves assessment, we can use R5 Human Talent to provide structured information about relevant aspects of the individual and complement other elements of the process, such as experience, technical competencies, interviews and role requirements.

When the challenge requires a broader intervention, we can bring in Human Talent Management specialists to support the analysis, design or evolution of processes related to people and teams.

Depending on the case, both approaches can work independently or complement each other within the same intervention.

Assessment provides information; context, experience and judgment allow it to be interpreted correctly.

You may start with a role you need to fill, a development decision, a challenge within a team or a broader need related to human talent management.

We can help you determine what information is needed, when an assessment can add value and when specialized support should be incorporated.
