Market Perspectives

It has been many years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have continued to impact the workforce. And organizations have not only had to deal with changes to their location (on-site, hybrid or fully remote) but also with the changing landscape of the workforce. The Great Resignation has led to greater challenges within organizations in terms of retention and attracting the right talent. Organizations facing this litany of new dilemmas can benefit from HCM software to address these challenges.

TalentQuest offers a “hire-to-retire” Talent Management platform for organizations to use to find, hire and retain the best candidate. TalentQuest is used not only for candidate screening but also for effective onboarding and career advancement. Through multiple applications, TalentQuest aims to provide better worker recruitment and engagement, all the way to retirement. By focusing on these areas, organizations hope to employ more dedicated and skilled workers.

TalentQuest’s talent management software takes into consideration not only the work experience of job applicants or candidates but is designed to also consider an individual’s temperament, culture and ambitions. Only by understanding these factors about potential employees can TalentQuest’s software help organizations select the top individuals for a particular role. TalentQuest describes their method as scientifically proven to identify the best candidates through the use of behavioral assessments. And, according to TalentQuest, these assessments enable organizations to avoid bias in the selection process.

Behavioral assessments evaluate personality traits, such as subdued vs. gregarious, cautious vs. fearless and distrustful vs. accepting. Organizations can view automated assessment reports on the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate. This software is designed to help hiring managers decide which candidates would best aid their organization. In addition, this software can be used by managers to determine which role would be the best fit for a candidate.

Once an organization has a pool of candidates to choose from, they are assisted through TalentQuest’s use onboarding recommendations and target interview guides. Organizations are assisted by TalentQuest’s retention function, which focuses on comparing the potential workers with peak performers already within the organization. Culture is another characteristic of businesses that is not always taken into consideration. However, TalentQuest can help organizations select candidates through the consideration of the organization’s culture and whether the candidate would be a good fit.

Of particular importance in the current work environment is retention. Through career coaching, feedback and recognition, TalentQuest’s talent management software is designed to help support the worker journey. By providing career coaching, TalentQuest can help employees advance their skills and role within the organization. The talent management software personalizes these interactions with employees to aid in retention.

TalentQuest’s Performance Management software can be customized to match the specific HR needs of a company and can provide goals for employees that include specifics about the expected progress on an assignment, deadlines, and overall status. TalentQuest is designed to provide managers and employees with continuous feedback through check-ins, so that they can perform effectively together.

TalentQuest is designed to provide individualized feedback to help manage employees. This allows for a personalized approach to performance to ensure that employees receive constructive feedback. Targeted learning is provided to help employees grow and develop and become more skilled in their roles. And timely feedback can help ensure that employees are completing tasks on deadline. With regard to development, TalentQuest supports a focus on upskilling current employees. As well, if an organization finds that a particular worker would be better fit in a different role or that it needs coverage in a specific area, TalentQuest can help with reskilling.

While there are a variety of talent software products available today, what differentiates TalentQuest's software from other vendors' offerings is its focus on immersive learning. However, TalentQuest’s primary differentiator is the focus on immersive learning. TalentQuest creates immersive learning through simulations, augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality. Employees experience the different versions of extended reality through the use of virtual reality headsets. One of the goals of learning via these immersive experiences is to reduce risks and costs associated with attrition and replacement. In fact, Ventana Research asserts that by 2026, one-half of all organizations exploring new LMS/LXP will expect it to leverage mixed reality technologies to “job explore” or simulate the experience of working in a new role.

For organizations that are interested in talent management software, TalentQuest provides a useful option. By 2024, Ventana Research maintains that self-directed career management software such as TalentQuest’s talent management software will be used by organizations that are interested in learning management systems. In today’s environment, where organizations must keep operations running in diverse environments and the retention of a skilled workforce is of utmost importance, TalentQuest provides an option for organizations. Organizations interested in acquiring talent management software, should consider TalentQuest, for their hiring, onboarding, and upskilling needs.
