HRsmart offers a SaaS Talent Management solution that supports companies’ needs from hire to retire.

HRsmart’s Employee Performance Management and Career Development System continually evaluates the workforce to determine the right learning, mentoring or project actions to further develop their skills. The Cloud-based solution also captures, documents and shares actions real time so they can be shared across the organization.
