Skills2Talent™ is a suitable player since 2013 in the people performance management domain and offers different PMS (Performance Management System) products. This uniquely differentiated products portfolio includes SMB PMS, enterprise PMS and OKR PMS (OKR Stars™).

Skills2Talent™  & OKR Stars™ Software as a Service (SaaS) are the first of their kind in the market, which offers segment-wise focused exclusive PMS products that match the best product fit for HR admins, management, and employees. These products are designed and developed using segment-wise UX/UI (user experience) and use cases. All the PMS products are integrated with greytHR SaaS using REST API technology for HRIS data synchronization and SAML for SSO (Single Sign-on).

The following are the different SaaS:

  • SMB Performance Management System

  • Enterprise Performance Management System

  • Objective and Key Results Performance Management System (OKR Stars™)

  • Timesheet Management

  • Project Resource Management

  • Employee Survey 

  • Competency Management

  • Training Management System (L&D)

  • Quiz, Online Assessment & Test  

Skills2Talent™  & OKR Stars™ SaaS are integrated with popular business applications for remote collaboration CFR (Conversations, Feedback, and Recognition) (Microsoft Teams, Slack) and thus help to solve all the Talent Management problems. In addition, there are other SSO integrations using Slack account, Azure Active Directory Connect / Microsoft account, and G Suite Google account.

Concepts to understand the integration process:

The PMS integration uses the SSO (Single Sign On) method for the authentication process. It also uses the SAML configuration for exchanging authentication & authorization data between PMS and greytHR domains. 

Steps required to initiate the integration:

  1. Exchange greytHR URL, IDP Metadata, and API keys.

  2. Configure SAML Metadata.

  3. Enable PMS link in Quick Links section in ESS.

  2. Configure IDP metadata.

  3. Generate API keys.

  2. From your greytHR Admin portal, navigate to the Settings icon > User Administration > SAML Configuration > Sample SP Metadata.

  • Endpoint received from PMS team.
