Talent Management

What is Talent Management

Talent management refers to the policies or processes an organization has in place to source, hire, onboard, and develop and train its workforce. Research shows that effective talent management creates high-performing employees that stick around longer.

These strategies help companies outperform competitors and avoid high turnover rates. Talent management encompasses several stages—all of which feed into each other: from the hiring process, onboarding, training, successful integration, as well as training and learning opportunities.

Components of Talent Management

In our eyes, talent management also involves the human touch and relationship-building to ensure all-around communication. In today’s workforce, however, technology can also be a helpful asset to assist with talent management solutions.

The main components of talent management include:

• Effective talent sourcing and recruitment strategies
• Strategies and policies for attracting, retaining, and developing employees
• An alignment of employee goals with overall business and company objectives
• Use data and market intelligence to make informed hiring decisions
• Learn market tendencies to provide competitive compensation and benefits

Talent Management in the IT industry

The IT industry is unique. Hiring software developers, engineers, and other technical professionals requires unique insight into the industry, knowledge of the available positions and specializations, and a company’s roadmap.

IT talent management requires in-depth knowledge of the talent pool, market fluctuations, and shifts in the labor market.

Due to the competitive nature of the IT industry, companies should consider these factors:

• Offering competitive benefits and compensation packages
• Working with a trusted partner to get accurate data and analytics
• Offering work training and development to upskill existing employees
• Providing perks or additional benefits that might attract top talent
