Talent Management Process
For many people, Chapters 4-13 represent the heart of the book, specifically recruit-
ment, selection, training, appraisal, career planning, and compensation.Recognizing all this, the trend today is to view these eight activities not stepwise 
but as part of a coordinated talent management effort.2
 We will define talent man-
agement as the holistic, integrated and results and goal-oriented process of planning, 
recruiting, selecting, developing, managing, and compensating employees.He or she starts with the results and asks, "What recruiting, testing, training, 
or pay action should I take to produce the employee competencies we need to 
achieve our company's goals?" 2. He or she treats activities such as recruiting and training as interrelated. For 
example, the manager knows that having employees with the right skills depends 
as much on recruiting and training as on applicant testing. 3. Because talent management is holistic and integrated, he or she will probably 
use the same "profile" of required human skills, knowledge, and behaviors 
("competencies") for formulating a job's recruitment plans as for making 
 selection, training, appraisal, and compensation decisions for it.
4.For example, HR managers meet to make sure 
they are using the same skills profile to recruit as to select, train, and appraise for 
a particular job, or use talent management software like the following to do so.
Improving Performance Through HRIS: Talent Management Software
Because talent management is holistic and interdependent, many employers use 
talent management software systems to coordinate their talent-related activities.So, first, rather 
than view these eight HR activities as stepwise, it is best to view them holistically--
because the steps interactively affect each other and work together.Build a pool of job applicants, by recruiting internal or external candidates.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.
