To be considered for the Constellation ShortList reports, vendors must provide the following criteria for talent management solutions: talent acquisition, onboarding, performance management, compensation management, succession planning, ongoing learning management, and analytics and reporting.

Report author, Ray Wang, defines talent management suites as software that focuses on the strategic aspects of Human Capital Management (HCM). In other words, these suites help Chief Human Resources Officers (CHRO) with recruitment, onboarding, performance management, learning, succession planning, and compensation management.

Key HCM business processes include planning to sourcing, acquiring to on-boarding, assessing to developing, and performing to rewarding. These processes reflect the four pillars of talent management:

1. recruitment
