Talent management system that identifies who drives impact—not who talks loudest

A talent management system is software that helps organizations identify, develop, and retain top performers throughout the employee lifecycle. Traditional talent management systems digitize performance reviews and succession planning but still rely on manager ratings and visibility bias. Confirm's talent management system uses AI and Organizational Network Analysis to measure actual contribution—identifying high performers based on their collaboration networks, cross-functional impact, and project contributions rather than manager perception alone.

Confirm combines three data sources: (1) Organizational Network Analysis that measures collaboration patterns and cross-functional impact, (2) Manager assessments and peer feedback from performance reviews, and (3) AI-powered contribution analysis across projects and communication channels. This reveals high performers regardless of self-promotion skills, manager relationships, or visibility. The system identifies quiet contributors who drive impact without taking credit, remote employees whose work is less visible, and individual contributors who should be on leadership tracks.

Yes. Confirm provides full talent management capabilities: performance reviews, goal setting, succession planning, development tracking, and career pathing. Many customers migrate from Workday Talent, SuccessFactors, or Lattice to gain AI-powered reviews and network-based talent intelligence. Confirm also integrates with existing systems if you prefer a hybrid approach—adding ONA data to improve talent identification while keeping your current review workflows. Migration typically takes 4-6 weeks including data import and manager training.

Confirm's succession planning uses network position, skill development, and performance trends to identify readiness for leadership roles. Unlike traditional 9-box grids based purely on manager ratings, Confirm shows you which employees already collaborate cross-functionally (a key leadership skill), which ones drive influence across teams, and whose networks are expanding (indicating growth). When a critical role opens, you see objective data on internal candidates—not just who managers like or who speaks up in meetings.

Yes. Managers and employees can create development plans tied to skills, career goals, and performance objectives. Confirm tracks progress automatically through skill development signals: expanding collaboration networks, new project types, increased cross-functional work, and leadership indicators. Unlike manual IDP tracking where managers update progress quarterly, Confirm shows real-time development indicators based on behavioral data. Managers get alerts when employees demonstrate new skills or readiness for stretch assignments.

Companies switching to Confirm typically see: 50-75% reduction in time spent on performance reviews (AI-generated summaries), 2.5x more high performers accurately identified (ONA reveals hidden talent), 35% reduction in regrettable attrition (better retention of top performers), and 40% improvement in calibration consistency (AI bias detection).
