I view "talent profiling" as simply the identification and validation of an incumbent employee's claimed skills and competencies. As we all know, every employee submits a personal profile that lists all the skills and competencies they claim to have. The HR department of a company can choose to believe, ignore, or validate them while the employee is in the employ of the company. When those talents don't match the requirements of the current job assignment, HR can pursue new skills development.
Best regards.

Talent Profiling and the 9-Box Matrix Method
For talent profiling, there is a list of personal attributes composed of experience, educational background, certifications, performance ratings, and competencies that enable the clear identification of individuals who are capable of filling specific roles. We have good software and consultants who do this, but I would suggest the 9-Box Matrix method or the 9-Box Performance and Potential Matrix method, which will help you achieve this.
• The 9-box grid is a commonly used tool to aid in a discussion of employee strengths and development needs.
• It is often used in a group setting. Managers collectively review the current performance and future potential of a specific segment of their workforce. These multiple perspectives provide a balanced view of an employee’s skills and growth areas.
• The grid can also be used as a planning tool by an individual manager.
• It is the end-product of a larger talent management process in which leaders identify organizational needs and critical job roles and capabilities.
• Proactive leaders use the outcome of a talent review to initiate development discussions and implement development plans.
Talent Profiling Process
Planning
• Discuss purpose and benefits
• Review expected outcomes
• Clarify process, time commitment, ground rules
Work Context
• Set work environment context
• Identify strategy, challenges, opportunities
• Summarize priority goals, work, projects
Critical Jobs/Tasks
• Determine scope of roles/tasks for discussion
• Brainstorm knowledge/skills/attributes needed

• Discuss strengths and development needs
Development Planning

I've attached a picture that will give you a clear understanding. Also, please refer to this link for complete information on the 9-Box method: Great Leadership: The Performance and Potential Matrix (9 Box Model) – an Update
