HR analytics platform that shows who drives impact—not just headcount
Move beyond turnover dashboards and demographic reporting. Confirm's HR analytics platform uses Organizational Network Analysis to measure contribution, predict retention risk, and identify hidden talent before competitors recruit them.
Your HR analytics tell you what happened. They don't tell you what to do about it.
Most HR analytics platforms are accounting systems with dashboards. They count: how many people you hired, how many quit, how diverse each department is, how long roles stay open. When someone resigns, they update a turnover chart. When performance reviews finish, they calculate rating distributions.
None of that helps you make better decisions. Knowing your engineering turnover is 18% doesn't tell you which engineers are at risk next quarter. Seeing that 35% of employees got a "meets expectations" rating doesn't reveal who's actually driving impact.
Confirm's HR analytics platform measures what matters: behavior, networks, and contribution. Our Organizational Network Analysis shows you who collaborates cross-functionally, who's isolated and at risk, which teams have healthy networks, and who drives impact regardless of their title or manager's perception.
This is people analytics that leads to action—not just prettier charts of backward-looking data.

Organizational Network Analysis (ONA)
Maps collaboration networks across your organization. See who works with whom, which employees drive cross-functional work, who's isolated, and how networks change over time.
Predictive Retention Analytics
Identifies employees at flight risk up to 90 days before resignation using network position, collaboration patterns, engagement signals, and performance data.
Contribution Intelligence
Reveals who drives impact through network centrality, cross-functional collaboration, and project contribution—independent of manager perception or self-promotion skills.
Manager Effectiveness Dashboards
Analyzes manager performance through team health metrics: network density, collaboration patterns, retention rates, performance distribution, and employee engagement.
Talent Mobility Analytics
Tracks internal movement patterns, promotion velocity, lateral mobility, and career pathing. Identifies employees ready for stretch roles based on network expansion and skill development.
Custom HR Metrics Builder
Create analytics dashboards specific to your business using ONA metrics combined with HRIS data. No SQL or data science expertise required—point-and-click interface.

HR Analytics Platform FAQ
What is an HR analytics platform?
An HR analytics platform collects, analyzes, and visualizes people data to help organizations make better talent decisions. Traditional HR analytics platforms focus on backward-looking metrics: headcount, turnover, time-to-hire. Confirm's HR analytics platform adds Organizational Network Analysis—showing you who drives impact, which collaboration networks are healthy, and which employees are at flight risk based on behavioral patterns. It's the difference between knowing what happened versus predicting what will happen next.
How is Confirm different from HRIS analytics (Workday, BambooHR, Rippling)?
HRIS platforms give you transactional analytics: who got hired, who got promoted, who left. They're counting systems. Confirm's HR analytics platform adds behavioral data through Organizational Network Analysis—tracking collaboration patterns, contribution networks, and engagement signals. When you combine HRIS data (who reports to whom, when they were hired) with Confirm's ONA data (who they collaborate with, how visible their work is, whether they're isolated), you get predictive people analytics. You can forecast retention risk, identify hidden high performers, and spot collaboration bottlenecks.
What data sources does Confirm's HR analytics platform integrate with?
Confirm integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, email (Gmail/Outlook), calendar systems, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Asana, and other collaboration tools to collect Organizational Network Analysis data. We also integrate with HRIS systems (BambooHR, Rippling, Workday, ADP) to enrich network data with organizational hierarchy, tenure, department, and role information. All integrations follow SOC 2 Type II standards—we collect metadata (who collaborates with whom) without reading message content.
Can we build custom analytics dashboards in Confirm?
Yes. Confirm provides pre-built dashboards for common HR analytics use cases (retention risk, performance distribution, team health, manager effectiveness), plus a custom dashboard builder. You can combine ONA metrics (network centrality, collaboration frequency, cross-functional engagement) with HRIS data (department, tenure, role, location) to create analytics specific to your business. Most customers start with standard dashboards and add custom views as their people analytics maturity increases.
How accurate is Confirm's predictive retention analytics?
Confirm's retention prediction model identifies employees at flight risk with 73% accuracy 90 days before they resign—significantly better than HRIS-based models that rely on tenure, promotion recency, and manager changes alone. By adding Organizational Network Analysis (declining collaboration, network isolation, reduced cross-functional engagement), we catch early behavioral signals of disengagement that precede resignation decisions. Combined with manager sentiment and performance data, accuracy increases further.
What level of people analytics maturity do we need to use Confirm?
Confirm works for organizations at any people analytics maturity level. If you're just starting (Level 1: operational reporting), Confirm provides immediate value through pre-built dashboards and retention risk alerts. If you're more advanced (Level 3-4: predictive and prescriptive analytics), you can leverage custom analytics, API access, and data export for deeper analysis. Most customers start with standard dashboards and expand usage as their HR teams build analytics fluency.
