Precision in Early Talent Development: DBL’s partnership with SHL
At Development Beyond Learning (DBL), we understand that today’s young professionals are looking for more than just a job; they seek meaningful career development and investment in their future. In a hyper-competitive market for top early career talent, organisations must adapt to these new expectations.
Gone are the days of generic training programmes. To inspire and develop the capabilities of young professionals, a targeted approach is essential. This is particularly important for the multigenerational workforce, where identifying the strengths and motivations of Gen-Z talent is critical for success.
We are proud to announce our analytics partnership with SHL in the Early Careers market. This collaboration represents our commitment to equipping organisations with the tools they need to meet and exceed the evolving expectations of graduates.
By combining SHL’s behavioural assessments with our expertly designed learning modules, we provide valuable insights into the skills and potential of early career talent. This data-driven approach allows organisations to make informed hiring decisions while tailoring development pathways that align with individual strengths.
Our expert learning designers have worked closely with SHL’s Industrial / Organisational Psychologist leaders to map SHL’s 96 identified skills to our 40 DBL learning modules. This integration means we can efficiently link talent assessment with onboarding and continuous professional development.
This alignment ensures that investment is directed where it will have the greatest impact, both at the individual and cohort levels. Organisations can now use and re-use the analytics captured in the recruitment process to streamline onboarding and development, identifying skills gaps and strengths at the individual, stream, and cohort level.
Matthew Steen, our Commercial Director for ANZ, states, “Having mapped SHL’s 96 skills to our modules, we’re predicting that our joint customers are going to see an even greater lift in the impact their graduates have in their roles, after applying what they learn in their DBL development journey.”
As we continue to build robust partnerships with industry leaders like SHL, we remain steadfast in our mission to transform early career development. This collaboration is more than just a business partnership; it’s a vision for the future of graduate recruitment and skills development.
By combining predictive analytics with our targeted, science-based development programmes, we’re ensuring that organisations can meet and exceed the expectations of today’s graduates, creating a brighter future for both aspiring professionals and the organisations they serve.
