About this product

GoFIGR Talent Navigator is a career pathing engine that shows employees every possible internal career pathway based on their current skills and aspirations. It identifies skill gaps between an employee's current role and target role, then recommends specific learning, mentors, and projects to close those gaps. Navigator works for linear promotions and non-linear career moves across departments.

How we compare

GoFIGR Talent Navigator vs typical alternatives

Capability
GoFIGR Talent NAVIGATOR
Typical alternative
Career pathway generation
Pathways are generated from each employee's verified skill profile, stated career aspirations, and learning preferences. Employees can explore both vertical and lateral moves across the full organisation, including roles they would not have considered based on their job title alone.
Career paths are typically based on job title, seniority level, or predefined progression ladders. Lateral moves and cross-functional pathways are rarely surfaced. Employees can only see what HR has manually mapped in advance.
Personalised action planning
Each employee receives a personalised action plan with specific recommendations for internal learning, projects, mentors, and open roles based on their individual skill gaps and career goals. The plan updates as the employee progresses and as new opportunities become available.
Development plans are typically generic templates completed during annual performance reviews. Recommendations are not tied to specific internal opportunities and require the employee or manager to source learning and projects independently.
Mentor and role model matching
Talent Navigator connects employees with internal mentors and role models who share similar skills or career backgrounds. Employees can learn directly from people who have already taken the path they are considering, without HR having to coordinate the connection manually.
Mentoring programmes, where they exist, are typically managed manually by HR. Matching is based on seniority or department rather than skill and career trajectory alignment. Many platforms do not include mentoring as a feature at all.
Manager and employee collaboration
Employees can share their career action plan directly with their manager. Both parties can track progress, update goals, and prepare for career conversations using live data rather than notes from a previous review cycle.
Career planning data typically sits in a separate performance management system that managers access only during review periods. There is no shared view between employee and manager of goals, progress, or recommended next steps.
Pathway customisation
Career pathways and role libraries are configured to reflect the organisation's actual internal structure, job families, and skill frameworks. GoFIGR works with each client to ensure pathways are grounded in real roles, not generic market taxonomies.
Career path frameworks are typically fixed by the vendor and based on generic job market data. Organisations with non-standard role structures or proprietary job families often find the out-of-the-box pathways do not reflect how their business is actually organised.
Security and infrastructure
Searchable skills database from day one via CSV import. Full HRIS integration live in weeks, not months.
Security certification levels vary by vendor. SOC 2 Type II is not universal. AI processing infrastructure and data usage policies differ significantly across providers and should be verified before procurement.
Pricing and deployment
Per-employee-per-month pricing with no large upfront licence fee and no multi-year lock-in. A searchable skills database is available from day one via CSV import, with full HRIS integration live in weeks.
Typically enterprise-only with six-figure minimum commitments and multi-year contract requirements. Implementation takes 3 to 6 months on average and usually requires a paid implementation partner.

How are career pathways generated?

Talent Navigator analyses the employee's current skills, experience, and stated career interests against all roles in the organisation. It maps multiple possible pathways, not only the next promotion but also including lateral moves, cross-functional transitions, and leadership tracks. Each pathway shows the specific skill gaps to close and creates an action plan to bridge the gap.

Can employees see pathways to roles in different departments?

Yes. Navigator surfaces pathways across the entire organisation, not just within the employee's current team or department. This is one of its key advantages over manager-led career conversations, which are typically limited to what the manager knows about. Employees often discover viable career paths they hadn't considered.

What happens when a skill gap is identified?

For each skill gap, Navigator generates a personalised action plan. This includes relevant internal learning programmes, mentors who have the target skill or knowledge, projects that would develop it, and e-learning courses. The plan is prioritised so employees can focus on the highest-impact skills first. Progress is tracked over time.

Does Talent Navigator work for non-linear career paths?

Yes. Navigator is designed for how careers actually work, not just promotions up a ladder. It can model lateral moves, diagonal transitions (e.g., marketing analyst to data product manager), and skill-based pivots. It identifies transferable skills that open unexpected pathways and helps employees see opportunities they might not have considered.

Can you integrate with HR or other enterprise systems?

GoFIGR has native integrations with BambooHR, Workday, UKG, Lever, EdApp, Okta, and supports most major HRIS, ATS, LMS, and performance management systems. SSO via Okta and MS Entra is supported. Slack integration enables notifications for new opportunities and matches. For systems without a native integration, CSV import, S3 access, SFTP and API access are available.

How much does the solution cost?

GoFIGR is priced per-employee-per-month and scales with your organisation's size and the modules you enable. There are no large upfront licence fees. Contact us for a custom quote based on your headcount and requirements. The free AI Impact Assessment is available to anyone with no signup or payment required.
