 Talent Relationship Management (Succession Planning)

Purpose

Talent Relationship Management (TRM) enables you to maintain long-term relationships with potential successors.

The Talent Warehouse constitutes the basis of Talent Relationship Management. In the Talent Warehouse, candidates enter their skills and interests in a talent database. Using the data stored by candidates in the talent pool of the Talent Warehouse, you can:

  • Maintain individual and long-term relationships with candidates that are of interest as potential successors for jobs

  • Manage the qualifications and potentials of the candidates

  • Rank candidates

You can use talent groups to subdivide your talent pool into segments. You can create talent groups for various groups of candidates to suit your requirements. You can use the search function to identify suitable candidates in the talent pool and assign them to talent groups.

Talent groups enable you to handle multiple candidates in the same way and to assign them one or more candidate-specific activities.

Candidates who have returned completed questionnaires can be ranked automatically. You can also rank candidates in the talent pool yourself. Both rankings are also available to you in the succession planning process if you have assigned a candidate to a succession plan, for example, and want to assess the candidate in comparison with other assigned candidates.
