TalentForge

TalentForge is an AI-enabled skills marketplace for legal and professional services teams. It helps firms match projects to people based on skills, availability and development goals, rather than relying only on job titles or informal networks.

As AI changes the shape of junior work, firms will need more deliberate ways to develop capability. TalentForge helps identify the skills a project needs, suggest suitable team members, surface gaps, and create stretch opportunities for lawyers and professionals building the next stage of their careers.

AI-assisted project team matching based on skills, availability and development goals

Talent pool dashboard showing available professionals and capability across the organisation

Project view identifying the skills needed for a matter, initiative or transformation project

Suggested team formation based on capability rather than job title alone

Gap-spotting to identify missing skills, oversight needs or development risks

Stretch opportunity suggestions to support junior development and succession planning

Feedback from legal operations, training and innovation teams on the skills taxonomy, project matching logic and practical implementation in a law firm or professional services environment.

I would also welcome input on governance, data privacy and how to validate skills fairly without relying only on self-assessment.
