— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Outplacement & External Targeter produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Whole sets of org data, role documentation and headcount exports at once
All of your org data, role documentation and headcount exports is processed as one set, so patterns across documents surface instead of being read one file at a time.
Live research on the organisation in scope
Current external sources on the organisation in scope are researched during the run rather than recalled from training data, and every source travels with the output.
Composed as work product
Findings on the organisation in scope are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a role.
Why this is expensive by hand
Judgements about the organisation in scope are usually made from evidence spread across assessments, reviews and conversations, with the bar shifting between assessors. Calibrated talent decisions is the typical trigger — assess every role against the same defined bar, so the outcome does not depend on who ran the review. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 1–2 weeks of manual work.
How this Skill produces it
As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces a calibrated view of each role with the rationale shown plus a population-level read a talent committee can act on. The judgement is built in — how items are broken up, what standard they are held to, and where the run stops for a human review. The practical effect: 1–2 weeks of manual work becomes a ~25 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.
Who it's for
- CHROs and talent management leads
- Succession and leadership development teams
- Executive assessors and coaches
- Consultants running talent reviews
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Outplacement & External Targeter exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
