A Solution That’s Takes Employee Profiles to the Next Level!
Up 'til now, employee profile applications have promised much, but haven't really been practical or useful for organizations.
But according to Analyst Leighanne Levensaler from Bersin and Associates: "While profile management may seem like just another “bell or whistle” feature set promoted by marketing teams, we believe it is a critical aspect of this juggernaut called integrated talent management... Profile management is a key system feature to support integrated talent planning and management." She says "Halogen customers will not have to worry" about the current problems with existing employee profiles; Halogen "does a great job!"
Halogen eAppraisal™ Manufacturing provides next generation Talent Profiles designed to deliver true business value, with:
- Flexible, configurable profiles that let you capture all the data that’s important to your business – not just standard, preconfigured fields.
- Highly robust security that allows you to configure an unlimited number of secure role-based views, so you can ensure the right people see (or edit) information that's relevant and appropriate for them.
- Automated workflows and reminders to make sure employees create their profiles and keep them up-to-date.
- Superior and intuitive searching and comparison capabilities, so you can easily find the right match every time.
Discover More About Your Employees - Including "Hidden" Talents
Unlike other employee profile offerings on the market today, Halogen's next generation Talent Profiles are completely configurable, so you can create your own categories to gather the data that's important to your organization, not just a static set your vendor has defined. Include details like:
- Work history
- Past appraisals, training courses, talent assessments, compensation history (the content for these is automatically drawn from your Halogen modules)
- Formal education, certifications and language skills
- Volunteer activities, hobbies, sports and interests
- Relocation or shift preferences
- Career plans
- Photos
- And anything else that's relevant to your business!
Keep Employees Engaged and Their Profiles Up-to-Date
Talent Profiles aren't useful if employees don't complete or maintain them. Gather the information you need and make sure it's kept current.
- Create a separate process to have employees complete or update their Talent Profiles, or include a step in your appraisal or talent assessment process
- Send automated emails reminding employees to complete the task
- Easily track individual profile completion status
Employees get an easy, self-service interface they can use to communicate their skills and experience, career aspirations, preferences and more. HR, managers, team leaders and decision-makers get centralized access to useful, up-to-date information that supports key talent decisions.
Share Information While Maintaining Confidentiality and Security
Most employee profile systems today have limited security capabilities and can only provide two profile views: a “public view” that can be searched by all employees, but offers very limited data, and an administrator/manager view that gives access to all the detailed talent information and must therefore be restricted in use.
Halogen eAppraisal Manufacturing's highly robust security model allows you to:
- Create an unlimited number of customized, role-based views
- Define exactly which data fields each role or individual can search, view or update
- Provide the value of your talent profiles to coaches, succession managers, mentors, hiring managers, etc.
- Guarantee the confidentiality of employee data
Identify the Best Person Every Time
Trying to identify the best candidate for an open position? Launching a new quality initiative that requires special knowledge or skills? Dealing with language or culture issues with an important customer? Putting together a sports team for an industrial league?
Halogen's sophisticated, yet easy to use, role-based search capability helps you easily find a match. Searchers can:
- Conduct simple keyword searches
- Set up advanced – but very simple to use - queries based on particular fields or categories to narrow results
- Compare profiles or groups of profiles side-by-side
- Save the results or export them to another application for further analysis
Give internal recruiters, hiring managers, executives and others the tools they need to easily uncover hidden talent, foster collaboration and identify the right internal candidates.
Base Your Talent Decisions on Better, More Complete Data
Managers can easily use Talent Profile information alongside data from your talent management processes, to get the broader information they need to make talent decisions - all from one central location. And because our suite is tightly integrated, they can access Talent Profiles from any module, wherever they support the talent process at hand.

Compare, Connect, Collaborate…
Make it easier for your staff to network, connect and collaborate. When a project team member, hiring manager, succession planner or anyone else searches for employees who match specific criteria, they can easily compare profiles, identify the best candidate, then click a button to send the person an email – all without leaving the Halogen suite.
