Governed Skills Truth + Explainable Readiness Intelligence for Defensible Talent Decisions
Most enterprises don’t have a skills problem—they have a trust problem. Skills data lives everywhere, but it rarely connects in a way leaders can defend. TalentGuard establishes a governed, role-first Skills Truth and turns it into explainable, audit-ready readiness across development, mobility, performance, and succession.
Most enterprises don’t have a skills problem. They have a trust problem.
Skills data lives everywhere—job descriptions, leveling guides, learning records, performance notes, manager feedback, project history—but it rarely connects in a way leaders can defend. When the business asks, “Are we ready?” or “Who can step into this role?” answers often depend on stale documents, subjective judgment, or black-box recommendations that can’t be explained.
TalentGuard is the Enterprise Skills Trust & Readiness Intelligence platform.
We help organizations establish a governed, role-first Skills Truth—then turn it into explainable, audit-ready readiness across development, internal mobility, performance, and succession.
Organizations use TalentGuard to:
- Standardize job and skills expectations across business units and regions
- Make readiness decisions faster, fairer, and explainable
- Reduce risk in promotion, mobility, and succession with audit-ready trails
- Improve development ROI with precision upskilling tied to role requirements
- Reduce title sprawl and conflicting skill definitions through ongoing governance
Your people want to grow. Your leaders need answers they can defend. TalentGuard delivers both.
What Makes Skills Truth Defensible
Role-first Standards
Clear expectations for what “good” looks like in each role.
Evidence & provenance
Skills and readiness tied to sources and logic, not assumptions.
Currency
Visibility into how current each signal is, so decisions reflect today’s reality.
Governance & Auditability
Ownership, approvals, guardrails, and change history you can stand behind.

Our Story
Strengthening workforces since 2009
After years running a career coaching and transition business—and training others to become coaches—Linda Ginac saw the same challenge everywhere: people struggle to recognize their skills, articulate them, and find a clear internal career path. In parallel, she partnered with organizations to build
competency and career models that made movement easier for employees and gave HR a consistent way to understand skills and aspirations.
Across industries and engagements, a clear pattern emerged: when role expectations and skill definitions aren’t consistent or kept current, talent decisions become harder to explain and development becomes harder to scale. The real issue wasn’t a lack of information—it was a lack of trust.
Linda founded TalentGuard to bring clarity and confidence to how organizations define roles, develop people, and make readiness decisions. TalentGuard helps enterprises establish a governed, role-first Skills Truth and translate it into explainable readiness—so employees can see what growth looks like and leaders can make decisions they can defend.
Throughout her career in talent management, Linda has held a simple belief: everyone deserves to be in a role where they’re appreciated, respected, and able to make the most of their talents. TalentGuard exists to make that possible—creating transparent pathways for employees and stronger pipelines for the business.
Since then, TalentGuard has supported clients across industries—from banking to biotech—helping organizations uncover and develop the talent within and driving measurable outcomes like stronger internal mobility, higher engagement, lower turnover, and more resilient workforces.
