Challenge
Signpost wanted a stronger feedback culture and fair, transparent growth for a fast-expanding team. The job descriptions in place ran to two lines, and the only record of capability was a handful of certificates on file. Managers had no clear view of the skills their people already had, or of the skills each role actually required. Performance conversations leaned on intuition because there was nothing more solid to lean on.
Approach
Signpost mapped job-specific skills for every role using the talentguide platform. That turned vague descriptions into precise expectations per role, and gave managers a shared reference point for what each job demands.
Result
Role expectations are now explicit, and skill gaps surface against what employees say they want to achieve rather than against a generic template. Feedback is objective and pay-transparent, which has improved the quality of conversations between managers and their teams and made career paths clearer for the people following them.

Mtech+ pushes sector toward future-ready skills
Mtech+ set out to help companies in the metal and technology sector make smarter training decisions in an unpredictable labour market. Without clear data, many organisations rely on gut feeling or guesswork to determine which skills their employees should develop, leading to uncertainty and inefficiency. By integrating talentguide into the Mtech+ Talentspace, the process becomes data-driven: skill passports map current capabilities, gaps are identified against evolving job profiles, and targeted training is recommended directly from the Mtech+ learning catalogue. This approach gives companies the clarity they need to guide their workforce toward future-ready skills with confidence.
