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.

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.
