Talent management software that counts the grid, covers the roles and keeps the review
Talent management software for a small HR team that works the numbers a talent review records, on the page, from your own figures: the 9-box grid counted into stars, the high-potential pool and the at-risk share, bench strength from the critical roles that have a ready-now successor, the three-year succession gap and its development budget, regretted attrition priced at your own replacement assumption, employees and contractors on one total talent line, and an external hire set against an internal successor for one role. Free, no account. Pro keeps every person, rating, critical role and successor slate against the record. The prose explains what each figure decides; nothing here is a pay benchmark or legal advice.
Built for the numbers in the review, on purpose
Ninebix is not an HR suite, has no payroll and no applicant tracking, and it is not going to get them. Every figure on every worksheet is there because someone running a talent review for a small team needs the grid, the bench and the gap to be counted before the meeting starts.
Count the grid. Cover the roles. Keep the record.
- The 9-box counted, not just coloured in. Sixty-four people placed in nine boxes is six stars, a high-potential pool of thirteen, twenty in the core and nine low performers who need a plan, counted on the page before the calibration meeting argues about one name.
- Bench strength as roles covered, days exposed and dollars at risk. Twelve critical roles with five ready-now successors is bench strength of 42%, three roles with nobody on the slate, and $175,000 of external fills if the uncovered roles fell empty. The fill cost is yours; the worksheet turns it into what the board will ask.
- Every review cycle filed against the person. People and their dated placements, critical roles and their slates, every successor's readiness and who confirmed it file themselves against the record, so the question about who was ready two cycles ago has the sheet to hand. Everything exports.
The free tools
Every worksheet on this site computes on the page, free, with no account and no trial clock. The free version is the whole calculation; the paid plan is about keeping it: people and their ratings per cycle, critical roles and the successors slated against each with readiness and status, your name on the paperwork and a clean export for the board pack.
- Talent management tools: the 9-box grid: Count a 9-box grid: nine box totals into the stars, the high-potential pool, the people ready for a bigger role, the core and the low performers who need a plan.
- Talent management succession planning: the bench: Work a succession plan: critical roles and their ready-now and ready-soon successors into bench strength, the roles exposed, and the cost of filling every uncovered role from outside.
- Succession planning in talent management: the exposure: Work succession exposure over three years: the incumbents expected to leave, the successors ready today, the gap, the development budget and how long before development must start.
- Talent management tool: regretted attrition: Price regretted attrition: headcount, leavers and the leavers you would have kept into turnover, regretted turnover and the cost of the year's regretted leavers at your own replacement assumption.
- Total talent management: the workforce mix: Put employees and contingent workers on one line: the contingent share by headcount and by cost, and the total talent cost for the year.
- Talent acquisition and management: build or buy: Set an external hire against an internal successor for one role: hiring cost and ramp against development and backfill, the difference in money and in months.
