About This Core HR Guide — Alan Cooke, Research Analyst, TrustRadius

Photo of Alan Cooke, Research Director, TrustRadius This guide covers a range of talent management products not all of which have precisely the same set of capabilities or starting points. However, these are all suite products and typically include recruiting, onboarding, performance management, succession management and, sometimes, learning management. Some products included in our Core HR guide are also featured here as they contain significant talent capabilities and are often considered alongside pure talent management solutions when procurement decisions are being made. The dividing line between these categories is blurring and will probably vanish at some point in the future as vendors strive to offer a complete range of capabilities under one roof.

In the guide you will find:

  • A primer on talent management software for those new to the field
  • Descriptions of various types of talent management suites along with their advantages/disadvantages and best-fit scenarios to help you understand the best choice for your use case
