Confirm: Unveiling Talent Potential
with Organizational Network Analysis

Confirm stands out in the talent management space with its innovative Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) solution. This blog is based on a Brandon Hall Group™ analyst briefing and highlights Confirm’s approach to skill evaluation and its position within a broader suite of talent management offerings.

Confirm recognizes the limitations of traditional resumes and interviews:

  • Organizational Network Analysis: ONA moves beyond the static information on a resume to uncover a candidate’s true potential. It utilizes network science principles to map a candidate’s professional network, identifying colleagues, past managers and clients who can provide valuable insights into their skills and experience.

Confirm addresses the challenge of identifying high-potential candidates:

  • Unveiling Hidden Talent: ONA goes beyond readily available resumes on job boards. By leveraging a candidate’s professional network, it can uncover talented individuals who may not be actively searching for new opportunities. This widens the talent pool and allows organizations to identify hidden gems who may be a perfect fit for the role.

 

ONA as Part of the Confirm Talent Management Ecosystem

Confirm offers ONA as an integrated solution within its broader talent management platform:

  • Confirm’s Platform: ONA seamlessly integrates with Confirm’s talent management platform. This platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline the entire talent lifecycle, from recruitment marketing and applicant tracking to onboarding, performance management and development.
  • Skills-Based Hiring: Confirm’s ONA aligns with the growing trend of skills-based hiring. By leveraging a candidate’s network to verify their claimed skills and experience, ONA ensures organizations are identifying candidates with the right qualifications to succeed in the role.

This integrated approach empowers organizations to build a robust talent management strategy that goes beyond the initial hiring decision and supports continuous development throughout the employee journey.

 

The Power of Network Confirmation

Confirm emphasizes the importance of trust and transparency in the assessment process:

  • Network Confirmation: ONA leverages a candidate’s professional network to confirm the accuracy and credibility of their claimed skills and experience. This increases the confidence organizations have in their hiring decisions and ensures they build a team with the necessary skills to achieve success.
  • Transparency for All: ONA’s reliance on professional networks fosters transparency in the assessment process. Candidates have a clear understanding of the skills being evaluated and the sources of information being gathered. This transparency builds trust in the hiring process for both candidates and organizations.

Conclusion

Confirm’s Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) offers a powerful tool for organizations seeking to improve the accuracy, depth and fairness of their hiring processes. ONA integrates with Confirm’s broader talent management platform, empowering organizations to build a comprehensive and data-driven approach to talent acquisition, development, and management. Ultimately, Confirm helps organizations make informed hiring decisions, build high-performing teams and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
