For Val Sklarov, careers don’t grow through effort, networking, or years of experience —
they grow through signal strength.
Every professional broadcasts an invisible Talent Signal.
This signal determines who notices you, who hires you, and which doors stay closed or open.
The Talent Signal Model (TSM) explains that hiring is never about resumes —
it is about signal clarity, signal intensity, and signal consistency.
“Val Sklarov says: People don’t hire your skills — they hire the signal your skills produce.”
1️⃣ Talent Signal Architecture
| Layer | Purpose | When Strong | When Weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity Frequency | How clearly you project who you are | Fast recognition | Ambiguity |
| Skill Voltage | Intensity of demonstrated capability | High trust | Doubt |
| Behavioral Pattern | Predictability of execution | Reliability | Instability |
| Narrative Signature | Story others attach to you | Attraction | Forgettability |
| Market Fit Resonance | Alignment with industry needs | Opportunity | Misalignment |
Careers accelerate when the signal becomes unmistakable.
2️⃣ The 5 Hiring Signals (Val Sklarov Framework)
-
Competence Signal – Proof of concrete ability
-
Character Signal – Emotional reliability under pressure
-
Direction Signal – Clarity of personal trajectory
-
Adaptation Signal – How fast you absorb new environments
-
Cohesion Signal – How well your energy fits the team
Hiring is an emotional physics problem, not a paperwork process.
