Talent Management Software Market Growth Factors

Streamlining Hiring Process through Technological Innovations to Boost Market Potential

One of the essential factors driving the talent management software market growth is the increasing penetration of cloud-based platforms as well as the use of mobile-based personnel management systems. Organizations and HR professionals are increasingly using Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms to automate scouting, identifying, and recruiting new talent from talent pools, and retain existing personnel. Talent management software can also help streamline the hiring process, reinforce workplace culture, provide flexible learning opportunities, and identify top performers. By integrating with social media tools, which increase the overall use of talent management software, these advancements are well adapted and integrated into other mobile applications. Various technical breakthroughs, such as Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), also expand the economy. For instance,

• In October 2023, IBM and EY announced the launch of EY.ai Workforce, an innovative human resources solution, that enables organizations to integrate AI into their major HR processes.


• In June 2021, Trakstar, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) performance management and employee engagement organization, announced the merger of its modular offerings into a single Trakstar Platform. Trakstar Learn is offered for employee development, Trakstar Hire is available for better hiring and quicker onboarding, and Trakstar Perform is accessible for constant performance engagement and tracking.

Furthermore, prominent players are introducing various talent management solutions that aid in staff management and give proper development opportunities for employees. As a result of the increased need to optimize HR operations, talent management software has become more popular among companies.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limited Awareness of Talent Management Software Solutions among SMEs to Hinder Market Growth

Although data and analytics have long been used to make informed business decisions, most companies still have a long way to go with respect to adopting talent analytics. A lack of understanding of the benefits of talent management software is a significant factor hindering the market growth. Furthermore, the costs of talent management in terms of resources, time, and money can be significant. Talent management necessitates using tools to map out talent requirements at all levels of the organization, which can be expensive. Due to their limited resources, Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) find it challenging to invest in advanced technologies. As a result, limited adoption of talent management technologies across SMEs will stifle the market growth.
