Talent selection

Review your talent supply and map the right people to the right positions.

The right talent for the right roles

When planning large-scale workforce changes, success is often determined by matching the right talent to the right positions. 

But mapping thousands of employees to thousands of positions is not easy. When visualizing the talent you have and the talent you need, many variables such as skills, financial planning, location preferences and hybrid working need to be taken into consideration as you make decisions.  

Planners need a platform that simplifies how they see their talent supply and demand and allows them to map the right people to the right positions, so they can confidently manage their future design. 

How Orgvue helps

Orgvue is an organizational design and workforce planning platform, purpose-built to handle large amounts of data and offer advanced data visualization capabilities. It brings your HR and finance data together, so you can see your talent supply and link it to unassigned or changed positions for a fast and effective transition process.

On the left, the concept 'Many employees considered for single position' is shown with multiple employee icons funneling into a single box, symbolizing the selection process for one job. On the right, 'Single employee considered for many positions' displays one employee icon connected to multiple boxes, indicating the consideration of one individual for various roles. Both sections are interconnected with arrows and set against a purple dotted background.

Build talent pools for positions before validating your selection

After integrating your data from different sources into the platform, use Orgvue’s drag-and-drop functionality to create talent pools by selecting talent based on role requirements. When you’re ready, confirm candidates and let Orgvue flag errors for your attention; for example, when the same person has been confirmed for two roles.

Review the impact of your decisions and execute your plan
