Abstract: A system and method for evaluating talent and performance comprises a central computer in communication with a plurality of network computers. The central computer is operable to provide a plurality of user workspaces accessible at the plurality of network computers. In one embodiment, a plurality of hiring stages are defined for a job opening and job applicants pass through the hiring stages from a job application stage to a job offer stage. The central computer calculates statistical information such as probabilities that an applicant will pass through the hiring stages, typical time durations for applicants to pass through the hiring stages, the total number of job candidates that have applied for the job opening, and a ranking of the candidates. The system is operable to determine that a warning condition exists related to a job opening and display such warning on one of the plurality of user workspaces.
