Built by practitioners, for practitioners.
great{with}talent was established in 2003 by a group of practitioners who had spent their careers at SHL. They were later joined by colleagues who had built their careers inside other institutions that defined modern people assessment — Korn Ferry, Hay Group, Saville among them. The conviction that drove them out was simple: the best assessment science was locked away — by cost, by barriers to entry, by the consultancy model that grew up around it — inaccessible to most of the organisations that needed it most.
FindingPotential was the first expression of that conviction. An assessment platform that brought the rigour of professional occupational psychology into the hands of practitioners — recruiters, HR teams, line managers — without requiring a consultant in the room.
Twenty years on, great{with}talent operates six connected service lines covering the full arc of the employee experience: FindingPotential, FeedForward, OnBoarder, WinningFormula, LastOpinion, and SafeSpace. From the moment someone is assessed for a role, through their first months in post, the years they spend developing, and ultimately the conversation when they leave. Each service produces evidence. Together, they produce intelligence.
Match is the latest expression of the founding mission — assessment that works best when it's used early, at volume, connected to a defined role profile, and affordable enough to deploy without counting the candidates.
What we believe about assessment.
Most organisations don't lack data about their people. They lack the right questions, the right method, and the right interpretation of what comes back.
Three things that are genuinely different.
Twenty years. Still independently run.
In two decades we have conducted hundreds of thousands of conversations with employees, leaders, and leavers. We have watched the questions facing organisations evolve — from engagement to retention, from culture to conduct, from talent assessment to the proper use of artificial intelligence. Through all of it, our role has been the same: to bring intelligence and integrity to the moments where it counts most.
The organisations who have trusted us with that work include Airbus, Capgemini, Schroders, Virgin Media, HM Treasury, and the NHS, alongside a wide range of professional services firms, regulated businesses, and public sector organisations. Some of these relationships have run for more than a decade. We don't take that lightly — it is the clearest evidence we have that the work is genuinely useful.
The standard we apply.
We built great{with}talent because we wanted to do this work properly. Two decades on, that is still the test we apply. Every report has to be one we would be willing to put our name to. Every recommendation has to be one we would make to our own organisations. Every client relationship has to be one we are still proud of in three years' time.
FindingPotential carries that same standard. If you are using it, you are not just using a platform — you are working with the people behind it. We hope you can feel that in the work.
