BUILD-TO-FIT TALENT
Start with requirements — not available résumés.
Some technology roles are difficult to fill because the required combination of knowledge, tools, experience and consultative capabilities is highly specific.
Build-to-Fit Talent starts by defining what the professional needs to be capable of doing before identifying or developing the talent.
THE BUILD-TO-FIT PRINCIPLE
Define the capability first.
Then identify the path to the talent required to perform it.
CAPABILITY PROFILE
Define the capability profile.
A Build-to-Fit profile can combine technical, execution and consultative requirements into one capability definition.
01
Technical knowledge
The technologies, concepts and technical knowledge required for the role.
02
Tools
The platforms, software and tools the professional needs to work with.
03
Techniques
The methods and approaches required to execute the work effectively.
04
Consultative competencies
The communication, analysis, problem solving and client-facing capabilities required by the engagement.
05
Certifications
Relevant certifications or credentials associated with the required capability profile.
06
English level
The level of English communication required to operate effectively with the client team.

BUILD-TO-FIT TALENT
When to use this model.
Build-to-Fit Talent is designed for situations where the required capability is too specific to rely on standard candidate availability alone.
The profile is highly specialized
The role requires a specific combination of technologies, experience and competencies.
The capability is difficult to find
Available talent does not consistently match the complete requirement.
The requirements are evolving
The capability profile needs to be defined around the actual technology initiative.
The role requires more than technical skills
Technical knowledge must be combined with tools, techniques and consultative competencies.
