TALENT MATCHING
Find the People the Job Description Cannot Describe.
Connect roles to capabilities, experience, evidence, context, adjacent skills and career pathways — contextual matching between organizational needs and human capability, not keyword similarity.
Which people are meaningfully connected to this opportunity — and why?
The Talent Match Graph
The role at the centre — surrounded by skills, capabilities, experiences, industries, projects, people, credentials, pathways and opportunities.
Change a requirement — the graph changes:
Requirement changes visibly alter the graph — the connection logic is always inspectable.
Match the Work, Not the Words
Start with outcomes and capabilities. Approved role requirements become a structured matching model before any search begins.
Matching Across Dimensions
Direct and Adjacent Talent
Direct matches
The requirement and the profile speak the same language.
Adjacent candidates
A different vocabulary — a transferable capability creates the connection.
The transferable capability is the explanation — not a leap of faith.

Internal talent
People already inside the organization.
Illustrative pools — fictional counts.
Pathway Matching
Show how a person could reach a role through capabilities or experiences — surfacing people who are not obvious direct matches.
Team-Level Matching
Assess whether a group collectively covers a team's capability requirements — and see concentration and gaps.
Individual brilliance does not guarantee team coverage.
Internal Mobility Matching
Match open roles to internal people on capability and development pathways — showing development requirements rather than assuming immediate readiness.
Connected — not assumed ready. Development requirements travel with the result.
Market-Aware Matching
Where authorised data exists, overlay geography, skill availability, role demand and adjacent talent pools.
Never fabricate market statistics — overlays only appear with authorised data.
Match Quality Controls
Matching is evaluated — not assumed to work because it is popular.
Find the Unobvious Candidate
Illustrative demo — fictional role and candidates
A fictional AI Product Manager role, a keyword wall, and the candidate the wall hides.
Inspect Connections, Not Rankings
Compare why candidates surfaced — inspect each connection instead of trusting one opaque score.
No leaderboard. Every connection is open to inspection.

Matching Governance
Job-related
Matching criteria must relate to the work.
Documented
Criteria and weights are recorded.
Reviewable
The model can be inspected and challenged.
No hidden signals
Sensitive or irrelevant attributes must not become hidden signals.

Match the work — not the words.
Connected, Never Duplicated
The Best Match Is the One the Keyword Missed.
Talent Matching connects organizational needs to human capability through a graph that explains every connection — and never reduces a person to a keyword.
