Attracting and retaining talent is a vital role of human resource managers. With the emergence of digital tools for managing employees, human resource managers can digitally track employee performance. A talent management system is an advanced human resource management system as it contains information on the achievements of the employees. According to Hrvillage (n.d), having the correct applicant tracking system is essential in developing and retaining a qualified workforce. The internet, apart from tracking the performance of employees, is also used to conduct online assessments before recruiting employees.(1500words)
