Talent management is a process that involves attracting, identifying, developing, engaging and retaining employees to create a motivated and high-performing workforce. Ciphr HR helps your organisation and HR team develop your people and increase employee engagement and satisfaction, leading to a happier and more productive workforce.
Talent management software that turns potential into proof
For those who make work work better
Performance reviews get filed and forgotten. Objectives get set once and never checked again. Succession plans live in someone's head, not in a system. Ciphr's talent management software puts your people data in one place, so every review, objective and succession decision rests on evidence, not guesswork.
One talent management platform, not six spreadsheets
Ciphr's talent management platform sits inside Ciphr HR, so a review isn't cut off from the employee record, while succession plans are informed by a person's skills, experience and history. Update an objective and it's visible to the manager, the employee and HR at once. No copies between trackers. No one hunts for the latest version before a talent review.
AI that works because the data underneath it is real
Three AI capabilities are live in Ciphr's talent management software today. The AI assistant answers questions straight from your own HR data. AI form summarisation reads historical appraisal forms and suggests responses for the current one, so managers spend less time on paperwork and more on the conversation itself. And AI coaching support through MyTeamBuilder helps managers walk into those conversations better prepared. Each works because it sits on your actual data, not a general model with no view of your organisation.
Built for UK HR teams, not adapted for them
Ciphr is a UK company. Our talent management software is built around UK employment law, UK data protection rules and the way UK organisations run appraisals. It’s not a global platform adjusted after the fact for this market. Employee data sits under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act, so what you record about someone's performance stays where you expect it to.
It's talent management software UK mid-market organisations choose because it's built around how they work, not fitted to them later.
Succession planning you can check, not guess at
When a business-critical role opens, you need more than a name that comes to mind first. Ciphr's nine-box grid lets HR and managers rate performance and potential, build talent pools for key roles and record who's ready to step up and when. That's succession planning a CFO can check, not a shortlist built on memory.
A cloud talent management system leadership can trust
When leadership asks what talent management delivers, you need more than a sense that engagement feels better. Track objectives against organisational goals, report on progress by team or department, and show where spending on training and coaching changes outcomes.
HR amplified, with evidence
One connected suite. Built to make work, work. This is HR amplified. For HR directors who need proof that development spend works, and CFOs who need confidence that people decisions rest on real data. Ciphr's talent management software gives you all that data and more, backed by the same connected system as the rest of HR.
Implementation is part of the product, not an afterthought
You don't get handed a login and left to work out where the objectives module lives. Ciphr's implementation is a structured, supported process: your review cycles configured to match how your organisation runs, your data migrated properly, and a named team who takes you through go live and beyond.
Go live in as little as 7 weeks
A phased rollout means central HR goes live first, then talent management sits on top of it, so your people already know the system before appraisal season starts.
FAQs: Talent management software
Talent management software helps organisations measure and record information about employee performance and development. It helps employers understand their people better and identify and develop their potential more effectively. The result is informed succession planning, a better chance of identifying valued employees who are flight risks, and strong support for HR teams who want to build a high-performance workplace.
Talent management system tracks progress against objectives and identifies people's training needs ahead of time. It automates previously complex and time-consuming workflows to serve people better, and helps you make intelligent decisions about people. Ideally, it sits inside your central HR system and connects with a learning management system.
A talent management platform strengthens the strategic role of HR teams, and in turn improves employee performance. It helps you automate complex workflows, understand your people better, develop their potential, and build a culture where learning is valued and encouraged.
Talent management and HR are different. Talent management is part of HR, and is focused on developing and training employees to reach their full potential, in pursuit of the organisation's overall goals. HR is broader, covering all aspects of people management, from recruitment and onboarding through to pay and reward, and employee engagement.
Talent management helps you make the most of your existing employees, while recruitment involves finding the best people to hire in the first place. The two are closely related but different.
A talent management system helps organisations track individuals' progress against clear objectives. It automates workflows so people complete their appraisals and reviews on time, and helps you make evidence-based decisions about individuals' careers.
Talent management is a broad term describing how HR managers recruit, retain, develop and reward employees. Performance management involves measuring employee performance based on data, analysis and feedback.
The cost depends on the talent management software you choose, the size of your organisation and what you want the software to achieve.
In a world where it’s a challenge to find the best people and just as challenging to hang onto them, talent management software helps organisations inspire, retain, develop and reward valued employees.
