Talent Q

What Talent Q does

Talent Q is a privately held, UK-based professional services firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Oxford. The company designs and delivers innovative online psychometric assessments, training programs, and consultancy services, operating in the talent assessment and human capital consulting market. With 51-100 employees, Talent Q serves as a boutique specialist in the online psychometric assessment space, offering data-driven people evaluation and development tools to enterprise clients through direct consulting engagements.

The company's core offerings center on online psychometric instruments—proprietary assessments that measure cognitive ability, personality, and behavioral characteristics used in selection, development, and talent management contexts. These instruments are complemented by training programs and advisory consultancy, creating a product ecosystem spanning assessment delivery, capability building, and strategic HR advisory. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements, with the firm maintaining a B2B-focused commercial model targeting HR leaders, talent acquisition teams, and organizational development buyers. The company is led by founder and CEO Pasindhu Liyanage, who has guided the business since inception, indicating a founder-led operating model typical of boutique professional services firms.

The source material provided contains substantial structured data on Korn Ferry, a publicly traded organizational consulting firm (NASDAQ: KFY) that is notably larger and broader in scope than Talent Q. The source explicitly acknowledges that the Korn Ferry data—including platforms, customer logos, and corporate partnerships—does not pertain to Talent Q, and the two entities are treated as separate in this analysis. The co-presence of Korn Ferry material in the Talent Q data collection suggests a possible corporate relationship or data-aggregation linkage between the two firms, but this is not confirmed within the source material itself and is not used as evidence about Talent Q's operations.
