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."
