Talent Matching Agent

The Problem

In professional services firms, getting the right people on the right projects makes or breaks engagement outcomes. But resource allocation often comes down to who the partner knows is available, or who spoke up in the Monday morning meeting. Firms with hundreds of professionals have skills data scattered across CVs, HR systems, and managers’ memories. Strong people sit underutilised while others are overloaded, and projects get staffed with whoever is free rather than whoever is best suited.

How It Works

The agent connects to your HR and resource management systems, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle HCM, and builds a real-time picture of your workforce. When a new project comes in, it matches requirements against available staff based on skills, experience, certifications, availability, and past performance on similar engagements. It recommends team compositions and flags potential conflicts or gaps.

We built something similar for a talent marketplace client. You can read about how that worked in practice.

Getting More From Your Existing Team

The shift is from reactive to proactive staffing. Instead of scrambling to fill roles when a project kicks off, your firm has a clear view of who is available, what they are good at, and where they would be best deployed. People get put on work that matches their strengths, which produces better outcomes for clients and better development opportunities for staff.
