In the spotlight
Signpost maps out clear growth paths to support employee ambitions
Signpost set out to strengthen its feedback culture and ensure fair, transparent growth for a fast‑expanding team. Yet with only two‑line job descriptions and a handful of certificates on file, managers lacked a clear view of existing or required skills, and performance discussions leaned on intuition rather than evidence. By mapping job‑specific skills with the talentguide platform, Signpost now defines precise role expectations, uncovers skill gaps against employee ambitions, and anchors objective, pay‑transparent feedback that fuels better communication and clearer career paths.

The shift with talentguide

From job listings to a sector-wide skills map
By assembling all job data from member companies — including bottleneck roles — into the mtech+ Talentspace, talentguide creates a clear, dynamic view of how job roles are evolving. This helps companies anticipate the future skills their workforce will need, ensuring they can proactively guide employees toward opportunities that align with shifting demands.

From a static training catalog to a dynamic training compass
By integrating the entire mtech+ training catalogue into talentguide, member companies can now match employee skill gaps directly with relevant learning opportunities. This transforms the platform into a “training compass” that helps HR managers and employees navigate the right learning paths to future-ready skills.
