What are some effective talent management systems?
We have a growing PR firm and are looking for a talent management system that can specifically help with applicant tracking and recruiting. We really need this software, but don't have much of a budget for anything extravagant. What talent management system would you recommend for a small but rapidly growing company?

Hi Donna
We're based in the UK but we have various clients based in the States; we offer an online talent management system called talent toobox which you might want to have a look at as it's very popular with growing businesses http://www.learnpurple.com/what-we-do/retain/talent-toolbox/ although our focus is more around appraisals and succession planning. For a recruitment/applicant tracking system I have heard that People Bank are good. http://www.peoplebank.com/
Hi Donna,
Recruitment is not talent management, it's talent acquisition. Talent Management starts after recruitment, as it's about managing talent you have not talent you want.
There are a lot of decent recruitment software tools out there, but be careful of falling into the "keyword vetting" trap - it rules out a lot of top notch applicants.
