Recruit Key Talent At Scale With Talent Assessment Tools
Identify the right talent, with the right skills
When talent is scarce, people development, upskilling and reskilling become the keys to organizational competitiveness and sustainability. Upskilling, reskilling and flexibly deploying skills are only possible if jobs are deconstructed into skills. Skills are the new currency of work. Skills flexibility provides business resilience and agility.
Mercer’s talent assessment solutions evaluate the current state of your internal labor market and quantify the talent gaps needed to future-proof the business. Mapping and analysis can help you focus on critical populations to answer essential questions about the potential for talent supply and demand in your organization. Future projections can then model how specific initiatives may be able to support your goals.
We can help an organization deliver on their reskilling strategies and investments by reflecting them in the broader talent management strategy, including learning and development, performance management, and total reward practices with pay-for-skills and pay-for-development innovations.

Our approach to talent assessment
Mercer proposes a strategic and integrated assessment approach. This means considering the different phases of the talent management strategy and integrating them in a continuous iteration process that places people at the center in relation to business needs and corporate strategies. This process feeds the pipeline for current and future critical skills and roles and directs resources toward targeted growth, allowing you to steer your company toward success.
We leverage data and analytics to measure individual and organization success. Our strategic and integrated approach consists of four main steps:
How we tackle the skills transformation challenge
