Platform Modules
One platform. Four integrated talent practices.
Talentprint is modular - deploy the full suite or start with the practices that matter most to your organisation right now.
Talentprint
A rapid, research-based 360° feedback tool that maps an individual's behavioural profile across 18 talent clusters. Designed for high-volume use - assessments complete in 9–14 minutes with exceptional rater consistency.
Talentprint Plus
The full-depth version of Talentprint. All 60 competencies from the Talent Genome, assessed via forced ranking to eliminate rater bias. Provides a granular behavioural picture for senior leadership, succession, and high-potential programmes.
Talentprint Suite
The integrated platform that embeds Talentprint and Talentprint Plus across an entire organisation's HR value chain - from recruitment and onboarding through performance, development, succession, and reward. One behavioural language, every people decision.
Assessment Methodology
Forced ranking that produces real differentiation
Most competency assessments produce inflated scores. Raters default to the middle, results cluster together, and the data tells you nothing useful. Talentprint uses forced ranking to eliminate this.
Raters must distribute their responses across a scale - they cannot rate everyone the same. The result is genuine differentiation that makes talent decisions easier and more defensible.
The Framework
Built on the Talent Genome competency framework
The Talent Genome is a research-based competency framework developed over 20 years of applied talent science. It provides the common language that connects assessment, performance, development, and succession in Talentprint.
18 Competency Clusters
The standard Talentprint assessment covers 18 behavioural clusters - each mapped to observable workplace behaviours and development actions.
60 Full Competencies
Talentprint Plus extends to 60 competencies for organisations that need deeper differentiation across senior and specialist roles.
Research-Based Design
The framework is grounded in peer-reviewed research and has been validated across 200+ organisations in diverse industries and geographies.
All 18 competency clusters
Each cluster groups related competencies into a coherent theme. Together they cover the full behavioural profile of effective performance.
The Talent Genome
The Talent Genome framework is documented in R-Squared: The Talent Genome Project by Martin Sutherland and Yolanda Lacoma - available on Amazon and through Knowledge Resources in South Africa.
The framework has since been updated and re-released by Brett Mulder and Martin Sutherland, incorporating new research and expanded competency definitions.

Use the framework independently or inside Talentprint
The Talent Genome competency framework is available under two licensing models - for organisations that want to use it independently, and for those deploying it inside the Talentprint platform.
Both models include access to the full competency library, behavioural indicators, and development action guides. Certification training for HR teams is available for organisations that want to build internal capability.
