What are Talent Management Systems?

Talent management is a set of capabilities that are considered strategically important to the organization’s labor or workforce. Talent management systems are designed to manage talent through the entire lifecycle from talent acquisition through development to reward and measurement. Talent management systems help ensure that the best people are being hired, developed, trained, and compensated to maximize value for the organization. HCM suites will often include talent management capabilities as well.

Talent Management System Processes

Talent management systems form a continuum of activities and processes revolving around the most important resource in any organization--its people. The primary talent concerns of most organizations include:

  • Talent acquisition, especially improving the quality and strategic planning of hires
  • Speeding up the time to competency
  • Improving performance and development
  • Making sure that everyone is working on projects with the highest potential for impact
  • Ensuring that talent is rewarded and compensated
  • Finding a new generation of leaders
  • Continuously developing staff to meet the fast-changing needs of the modern corporation

A talent management system is designed specifically to help organizations solve common people-related HR pain points and meet these highly strategic goals. These systems can be broadly applicable to a range of industries and talent pools. Some talent management systems focus on specialized talent pools with unique needs, such as healthcare talent management software.

Talent Management Software Features & Capabilities

Most talent management systems cover these core capabilities:

  • Recruitment/ATS: Recruiting is offered either as a component of talent management suites or as standalone products. Features include job posting, candidate management, and applicant tracking.
  • Onboarding: Onboarding is the process of orienting and integrating new hires into the cultural and performance aspects of their job. The goal of onboarding is to speed up new hires' time-to-value and includes features like training tracking, assessments, and new hire portals.
  • Cascading Goal Alignment: Goal alignment features help coordinate employee's personal performance and career goals with specific, higher-level business goals and objectives. They include hierarchical goal setting, line-of-sight visibility, and performance tracking.
  • Performance Management: Performance management is the process of tracking employees' accomplishment of predetermined goals. It is measured via performance plans, status tracking, and reporting.
  • Employee Engagement: Employee engagement entails surveying employees to track engagement with culture, job satisfaction, and competency levels to target future employee development. It is a relatively new facet of talent management.
  • Learning Management: Learning management focuses on post-onboarding employee skills development and competencies, as well as customer training in some cases. The market for e-content and learning management systems offers general-use products and industry-focused offerings.
  • Compensation Management: Compensation management entails setting employee pay grades and incentive structures based on performance criteria.
  • Succession Planning: Succession planning is the identification and preparation of top talent within the company for professional growth and leadership positions. It includes the creation of succession plans themselves, as well as candidate tracking and ranking.

Talent Management Systems Comparison

To compare different talent management systems, consider these aspects of each software offering:

  1. Talent management suite vs HCM suite: Talent management capabilities exist both in standalone suites and as modules of more comprehensive Human Capital Management suites. If you already have an HR management suite and just need an external talent management product, a standalone offering may be more efficient and cost-effective. However, if you’re looking for additional HR software beyond talent management, a more comprehensive suite can pose substantial integration and data centralization benefits.
  2. Integrations: Integration and data flow within your HR environment is an increasingly important aspect of talent management, according to our study of talent management professionals and external research. In response to this need, many vendors are improving their ability to integrate with various 3rd party software. To get the most out of your own data, make sure that every product you’re considering can demonstrably integrate with the other software you’re using.
  3. User base demographics: Most talent management users skew towards larger businesses and enterprises. As businesses grow in size, they often need talent management functions that are more complex, in-depth, and varied than smaller organizations. In addition to exploring the specific features offered, look at the size of each products’ users to get a preliminary gauge of how well the product would be able to scale to fit your needs.

Pricing Information

Talent management systems’ pricing varies depending on whether or not it's housed within a larger HR Management or HCM suite. Standalone talent management solution prices can range from $10-20/month/user. Talent management features are frequent components of full HCM suites, which rarely advertise set pricing plans and can vary widely. However, pricing for HCMs and standalone talent management solutions both generally scale by the number of users.
