A study commissioned has identified three ways by which the art of talent management is undergoing a change thanks to technology. Algorithms are now being used for hiring decisions. Research firms such as Entelo and Textio are gauging business intelligence to deduce important traits and qualifications among applicants’ pool to cut through time spent on recruitment. GE’s employees now have an app specifically designed to help them provide feedback on work culture and products. It also helps engage employees with the management. People analytics are now being worked on. This is radically different from training analytics or other such tools, as they measure the effectiveness of employees over a range of activities across a span of time.
