Salary.com Releases CompetencyManager

July 20, 2009 – Salary.com, Inc., a provider of on-demand compensation, payroll and talent management solutions, has launched CompetencyManager, an SaaS competency management and development software solution. CompetencyManager provides the data and tools any company could utilize to design, create, validate, implement, export and maintain competencies and job models within its competency-based HR applications. The software allows users to leverage Salary.com’s comprehensive competency libraries, import third-party competency data or create their own. In addition, CompetencyManager enables users to store competency libraries, frameworks, job models, competencies and related data sets all in a single, online tool, and then export this data to the appropriate HR application. Subscribers to CompetencyManager benefit from online access to more than 1,200 functional job models and robust competency libraries, including behavioral statements, learning references, development statements, coaching tips, writing assistance and interview questions. “Companies often fail to effectively launch and sustain competency management programs because these programs are usually too time consuming and too difficult to accomplish successfully without the right tools,” said Brent Kleiman, SVP of marketing and strategy at Salary.com. “For the first time, there is a scalable, data-rich job model productivity solution that reduces the time and cost to build, deploy and manage a competency program.”
