What Does This Mean for Talent Management

Talent management software, refers to a suite that is integrated in nature and addresses the “four pillars” of talent management: recruitment, compensation management, learning and development, and performance management. This modern day technology is utilized by many HR management professionals to manage employees and gain a competitive advantage.

Overall, talent management software automates specific processes from the time a potential candidate fills out an application to the time he/she is hired, continuing to track the employee lifecycle until retirement. Today, talent management systems come with applications that fall under a wide variety of broad functional areas (like the pillars).

However, as cloud computing has gained extreme momentum over the last couple of years, so has cloud-based talent management systems. Today, a good number of vendors are being referred to as the fifth pillar of talent management because they offer any one of these broad functional applications, and even more in-depth and niche applications. Now, the names and number of pillars vary depending on the talent management vendor.

In addition, many elements like the augmented usage of mobile apps for the purpose of talent management are foreseen to promote the growth of the talent management industry. The increasingly use of various mobile devices, like tablets and smartphones, in many of the  talent management and HR processes is further encouraging market vendors to launch mobile-friendly websites and/or mobile apps built specifically for HR.

Potential candidates can now apply to jobs via mobile devices, and in turn, recruiters are being forced to make sure of mobile devices for the purpose of checking application statuses, posting job notifications and so on.
