Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study discusses how, even in a weakening economy, it appears that the talent management market for vendors remains hot. To examine the buyer side of the market to unearth talent trends and initiatives, IDC conducted its fourth annual talent pulse survey at the Vurv Revolution customer event that took place April 6-9, 2008, in Orlando, Florida. Clients in attendance were a blend of HR and recruiting executives from many well-known firms. A total of 50 of the several hundred event attendees responded to the survey, which covered topics such as candidate shortages and talent strategy.

"Changing business demands are driving an increase in the overall focus on talent," said Lisa Rowan, director of HR and Talent Management services research at IDC. "It is apparent, though, that the majority of employers are not yet measuring the impact of talent on business outcomes. There is ample room for opportunity and vendors that can help clients bridge this gap will be offering a valuable service to the market."
