Talent Profiles Explained: Types, Features, and Data Migration in Fusion HCM

What is Talent Profile and what are types?

In Talent, when we go through the system we see different profile types. However, all those profile types are categorized as two i.e. Person profile type and Model profile type.

The Person Profile Types maintains the definition of the person talent profile necessary for tracking employee’s skills, qualities, and qualifications.

The Model Profile Types maintain the definition of the workforce structures necessary for tracking targeted and required skills, qualities, and qualifications.

However, both are loaded through one single .dat file.

Talent Profile:
