This group may be on the smaller side, but it still packs a punch! Since talent management is all the buzz in the industry, vendors have begun to build out their product platforms and move away from offering best of breed solutions to integrated solutions that manage the whole life cycle of your employee base. Most firms have an existing infrastructure that needs support, with many best of breed providers within their technology stack, that are not integrated. Join this group if you are an HR professional interested in managing all aspects of your talent.
