What is Talent Development?

The strategic investment in growing employees' skills, knowledge, and capabilities to meet both individual career aspirations and the organization's current and future business needs.

Why it matters in hiring

Talent Development comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
