"Gartner has a deep understanding of the necessary evolution of integrated Talent Management Suites. We believe this recognition validates PeopleFluent's Talent Management solutions and feel it strongly reinforces our long-term product vision focused on the business outcomes of talent engagement and workforce effectiveness across and among any talent phase or function," said Jeff Carr, CEO, PeopleFluent. "In 2014, we dramatically expanded our offerings with actionable analytics, enhanced collaboration platforms, pervasive video and broad data integration capabilities to provide the information and experience necessary to drive engagement, productivity and better overall business results for our customers. We are extremely pleased with this recognition by Gartner."

Gartner's research report assessed vendor capabilities in the four critical talent management use cases: Attract and Retain Talent, Develop the Workforce, Pay for Performance and High-Volume Talent Management. Gartner rated PeopleFluent in the top quartile of the 16 vendors assessed in three of the four use cases. Specific ratings were as follows:
