nfor Talent Science is a patented,
cloud-based Predictive Talent Analytics
and pre-employment testing solution
that can help enterprises place the right job

By leveraging large quantities of
behavioural and performance data,
Talent Science helps businesses through
the recruitment process all from a single
behavioural assessment.
With insights you can customise into
predictive models, enterprises can better
select, retain, and develop the right talent
and even impact the bottom line.
Can you explain more about Infor
Talent Science?
If we look at the trends around Digital
Transformation what we are seeing is
customers coming to us and saying ‘we
know we have to digitally transform but how
do we do that?’
We are talking about three key questions:
What is it you want your customer
experience to be?; Do you have the
organisational structure and people to
actually achieve that?; and how are you
going to harness the data to make sure you
have a consistent customer experience?
That may be a slightly strange way to start
talking about talent but if you look at the
key aspect of Digital Transformation, we
are talking about how you use the talent
you have in the business to drive that
customer experience and we have taken
that one step further.
We now have a talent solution and we are
using talent science to help businesses
understand who their employees are.
So what is it that makes an excellent
employee? What is it that makes an
employee stay with an organisation? What is
it that makes a team work well together?
There is not much science that has
previously been put in to that so we have
worked with MIT to come up with a number
of data models that feeds into our data
science solution and that is driving very
significant changes in how people hire,
develop and retain their staff.

WE ARE USING
TALENT SCIENCE
TO HELP
BUSINESSES
UNDERSTAND
WHO THEIR
EMPLOYEES ARE.
We are seeing retention rates increase by
30% to 40%, we are seeing hiring costs
reduce very significantly. That talent science
solution is at the heart of enabling the
beginning of Digital Transformation.
In practical terms how would it
help an organisation recruit the
right people?
This is about profiling an individual that is
looking for a role inside your organisation.
So they take an online test, it can be done
through the web very simply and that data
model that we have, creates a report about
