    Talent Skills Assessment for Capacity Building

    Edgility Talent Partners’ Talent Skills Assessment process reveals the skills, strengths, and development needs that already exist within your team so you can invest in people with greater clarity, fairness, and impact. We work with you to define the critical competencies required for your strategy, then use surveys, interviews, and/or structured self- and manager-assessments to map current capabilities across roles, levels, and departments. The result is a clear picture of where your staff are well positioned to deliver on your mission today, where there are skill gaps or risks, and where hidden strengths can be better leveraged.

    We deliver an accessible findings report and tailored recommendations that can inform professional development planning, succession and promotion decisions, and future hiring—so you are not just filling gaps from the outside, but also growing and recognizing the talent you already have. 

    Who We Partner With on Talent Skills Assessments

    • Executive Directors/CEOs, Chiefs of Staff, and HR/People & Culture leaders who need a clear, organization-wide view of current capabilities to inform strategic planning, resourcing, and investment in staff.
    • Department and program leaders who rely on strong functional skills to deliver results and want better insight into their teams’ strengths, gaps, and readiness for expanded responsibility.
    • People managers and staff across roles and levels who participate in surveys, self-assessments, and conversations, helping to surface hidden strengths, development needs, and aspirations that should shape future development and talent decisions.

    We approach talent skills assessment as a shared effort across these groups—aligning on the competencies that matter most for your strategy and co-creating a clearer, more equitable picture of how your existing talent can grow into the future you’re building.

    Danielle Pointdujour

    Human Resources Officer, Urgent Action Fund

    Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

    Willa Marth

    Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

    While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do.  With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.

    Chief Operating Officer, AVANCE

    Marissa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the engagement. She demonstrated exceptional expertise, is a great presenter who communicated complex ideas clearly, and maintained a direct and responsive approach that made collaboration seamless.

    Erica Kashiri

    Chief Operating Officer, Third Plateau

     Marissa was easily one of the top 3 partners I have ever worked with my entire career. She knows her stuff, is thoughtful, holds the line when the line needs to be held, and kept us on a great timeline. She is able to break down complex information that was WELL received to a very skeptical team of using benchmarking data. Plus, she just came off as a generally good human which I deeply value these days.
