HR Technology Conference -- Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY), a leading provider of on-demand compensation and talent management solutions, today made several announcements regarding its talent management offerings, coinciding with the opening of the 13th Annual HR Technology Conference & Exposition. Specifically, Salary.com launched two new add-on modules for its skills management solutions, unveiled new features for its talent management solution, added new job models to its growing competency library, and announced new partnerships that will help extend Salary.com's talent management offerings to HR professionals.

Additionally, Doosan's Brian Formato will present how his company implemented competency models from Salary.com for the global infrastructure support business' talent initiatives.

New Modules for Salary.com SkillsManager Launched

Salary.com today launched two new modules for Salary.com SkillsManager™. These new modules build upon Salary.com SkillsManager's competency-based approach to skill assessment and skill gap analysis by adding succession planning and performance management. Both applications are only available as add-on modules to Salary.com SkillsManager.

The Salary.com SkillsManager Succession Planning module allows users to carry out system-wide searches for best-fit candidates and compare their competencies, resumes, roles and experience. Organizations can quickly spot areas of weakness and reduce the operational and strategic risks associated with key people leaving as well as recognizing employees who should be developed and nurtured for the future. The Salary.com SkillsManager Performance Management module allows organizations to measure objectives, values and competencies. The result is a solution that helps organizations align employees to functional and business strategy and prioritize their key areas of performance according to business need.

New Features Unveiled in TalentManager

TalentManager® is easier to use for administrators and employees alike with recently-introduced new features. Users will find a smoother, more intuitive experience working within the product's compensation planning, performance management and succession modules, and other new features that make administering TalentManager easier.

New Job Models Now Available for Energy, Home Health and IT

Salary.com has added 100 Industry Job Models to its growing job model and competency library of more than 1,600 job models and 1,300 functional competencies, which provide data and structure for typical jobs at all levels of an organization. Industry Job Models will enable HR professionals to create job descriptions and competencies easily and power their talent management systems.
