Authoria is Kicking Some A$$!!!
.
I’ve written a lot about talent management suites and vendors in the past. However, Authoria has grown over the last few years from being the leader in knowledgebase applications to being a clear leader in overall talent management. With a clear market penetration into the Fortune 1000, great strategic partnerships with HRMS vendors and consultants,…

Talent Management searches are up
.
This is actually a very poor polling technique, but it does at least show that companies are thinking about talent management. Unfortunately, I have no idea what people mean when they say talent management. To me, TM is a complete suite that runs through recruiting (talent acquisition), to learning and retention. Unfortunately, many applicant tracking…

HRMS vs. Point Solutions… again
.
I’ve written a few times that the day of the huge enterprise HRMS solution is over. PeopleSoft, SAP… they just don’t provide niche solutions that are as good as point solutions. So the recruiting tools in PS or SAP for example, don’t compare to Virtual Edge, Recruitmax, or Taleo. Then I think about the growth…

Talent Management Scorecard updated
.
Here’s my original post. I have updated Authoria and included Softscape. So an integrated point solution in the talent space should/may include (1) talent acquisition, (2) new hire onboarding, (3) performance management, (4) compensation management, (5) learning management, (6) succession planning, (7) analytics, (8) ESS, and (9) MSS. This is probably not a complete list.…

Authoria buying Hire.com
.
Wow wow wow… This is huge for point solutions. Authoria is buying Hire.com, meaning they will be that much closer to being a full service talent management suite. Check out my old scorecard of talent management solutions here. All Authoria needs is an LMS and LCMS.

Talent optimization and engagement
.
Somehow, I’ve gotten myself into a bind by promising a write-up on what I perceive to be the linkage between employee acquisition, retention, satisfaction, and engagement. I’ve mentioned it here and here, but have not really had the time to put this all on paper. First off, let’s start with a very simple pictorial and…

Workforce planning and best practices
.
All this talk about talent management. Basically, to dig through the confusion, break it up into 2 components: Talent Acquisition, and Talent Retention. Obviously you can break these 2 areas up to many other sub-functions. Today, I’m talking about workforce planning, something I’ve been building up to for some time. Workforce planning can also be…

Hosted point solutions take advantage of weakness in ERP/HRMS market
.
There’s some serious movement in the hosted and integrated point solutions arena. Mostly I’m talking about Workstream, Kenexa, RecruitMax and Authoria. All of these solutions are offering portal oriented employee talent solutions. Each of these 4 vendors are also organizations I like a lot. What is an integrated talent management point solution? Well, first of…

Admonition to all ATS vendors
.
OK – I know that talent and talent management are the (not so) new buzzwords in HR. Truthfully, talent is incredibly strategic and requires a great deal of focus and energy. However, ATS vendors these days are calling themselves Talent Management Solutions. This is just wrong. An ATS is not talent management – it is…

Talent, Outsourcing, and MSS
.
Since my last post was on talent, I thought I’d see if I could tie it back into systems somehow. As we continuously look at talent in both retention and acquisition modes, we must realize that we’re not only trying to attract and retain employees with compensation, benefits and corporate culture (and such), we’re really…

Talent, skills and the labor market
.
Talent: So where is the talent? Deloitte’s talent study basically says that with baby boomers (U.S.) retiring, fewer college graduates with the skills needed in the workforce, talent is simply unavailable. Skills: Check out this innovative general education curriculum at Pomona College. Instead of telling students, “you have to take one science course, one english…

Workforce Performance Studies and Business Results
.
IHRIM and Knowledge Infusion produced a report on workforce performance, HCM, and business results. IHRIM webinar will be on May 19, but here’s a preview: The results of the initial IHRIM and Knowledge Infusion Workforce Performance Survey include: – 96% of companies reported Workforce Performance management is their top human capital management priority for 2005;…

Off-peopleing (Dubs gets preachy)
.
I think the point of this guy’s blog is to sell his book (ok – maybe not as you can download it for free), but he makes an interesting point. And no, I haven’t read this yet either, but I’ll comment anyway. Just so you know (before you download it) it’s targetted for the future…

Top 5 HR priorities from Genesys survey
.
Take this with a grain of salt as this is a Genesys press release and these “trends” may just be application areas they are strong in. http://www.genesyshcm.com/Docs/news/trends_survey_results-pr.html I’ve never paid too much attention to Genesys until recently as I’ve considered them a legacy play. They seem to have revamped their software to compete however, and…

Talenteering?
.
Collaborative Hiring Talenteering from Hire.com All in all, a great post on how the staffing organization should be integrated to the actual operating arm of an organization. I’m not sure this is so new though. In the last 20 years that Sr. HR leadership has been gaining access to the corporate boardroom, I think senior…

Big beautiful HRMS ain’t so beautiful anymore
.
Yup, the day of the massive ERP suite and a huge, built-out HRMS system is dead. In HR, we now back to the modularized applications, but this time around, we can effectively tie everything together on the back end and provide an integrated presentation space to all users. With the incredible depth in HR modules…

RecruitMax pushing the envelope
.
RecruitMax Article Really randome thought here… One of these days I’ll write quite a bit more about my opinions on ATS/HMS (applicant tracking or hiring management) or whatever you want to call it. For now, I wanted to comment on some new technology Recruitmax is rolling out. While I don’t completely understand it, it looks…
