The right talent for the right roles
When planning large-scale workforce changes, success is often determined by matching the right talent to the right positions.
But mapping thousands of employees to thousands of positions is not easy. When visualizing the talent you have and the talent you need, many variables such as skills, financial planning, location preferences and hybrid working need to be taken into consideration as you make decisions.
Planners need a platform that simplifies how they see their talent supply and demand and allows them to map the right people to the right positions, so they can confidently manage their future design.

FAQ: Talent selection
Talent selection is the process of identifying, evaluating, and matching the most suitable employees or candidates to available roles based on business requirements, skills, experience, performance, location, and other workforce criteria. Effective talent selection helps organizations place the right people in the right positions.
Large-scale workforce transformations often involve changes to roles, structures, and operating models. Talent selection helps organizations identify which employees are best suited to future positions, reducing disruption and supporting a smoother transition to the target operating model.
Talent selection connects talent supply with workforce demand. By understanding available skills, workforce capacity, role requirements, and future workforce needs, organizations can make more informed decisions about placements, hiring, redeployment, and workforce restructuring.
Talent selection focuses on matching people to available roles during workforce changes, organizational redesign, or workforce planning initiatives. Succession planning focuses on preparing potential successors for future leadership or critical positions to ensure business continuity.
Organizations typically assess candidates using criteria such as skills, experience, qualifications, performance, competencies, career aspirations, location preferences, and workforce planning requirements. Combining these factors provides a more complete picture of role suitability.
Talent selection helps organizations identify employees whose skills and experience align with available opportunities elsewhere in the business. This supports internal mobility, improves employee development opportunities, and helps retain valuable talent.
By providing visibility into workforce composition and selection outcomes, talent selection processes can help organizations monitor impacts across different groups, promote fair decision-making, and ensure opportunities are distributed consistently with diversity and inclusion goals.
Talent pools are groups of employees or candidates who have been identified as suitable for current or future roles based on specific criteria. Creating talent pools helps organizations respond more quickly to workforce changes, recruitment needs, and organizational redesign initiatives.
Talent selection typically draws on workforce data such as skills, competencies, experience, performance, location, position data, organizational structure, workforce costs, and employee preferences. Bringing these data sources together helps improve talent decisions.
Orgvue brings together workforce, position, organizational, and financial data into a single platform, enabling organizations to visualize talent supply and demand, build talent pools, map people to positions, validate decisions, manage workforce transitions, and understand the workforce and financial impacts of talent selection decisions.
