CORE Talent
The CORE Talent module is available on the dashboard of your CORE Portal. This is the same system that is used within the University for pay and attendance/ leave requests.
When the annual PRD process commences, Deans/Heads are asked to assign Reviewers to Reviewees. Upon receipt of this information, Reviewees are matched to their assigned Reviewer on CoreTalent by the Human Resources department. This is key in ensuring that the PRD documentation flows correctly between the agreed Reviewers and Reviewees.
Once completed, Core Talent is activated and the PRD documentation is deployed to all staff.
The Reviewee can then commence the process of completing and submitting Stage 1 – the self-assessment stage to the Reviewer.
Please note that all staff receive PRD documentation appropriate to their role within the University eg. Academic, Research or Professional/Support /Technical Staff.
There are four stages to be completed on-line via the CORE Talent system.
The four stages are:
Stage 1 – The Self-Assessment Stage
The Reviewee completes and submits the Self-assessment (Stage 1) to the Reviewer via CORE Talent. This should be done 2 weeks prior to the review meeting.
The Reviewer receives an email notification that Stage 1 has been completed and launches the review in their CORE Portal.
The Reviewer can sign off on this stage or can ‘return’ it to the Reviewee for clarification or additional details. This should be done in advance of the Review meeting to allow the Reviewee sufficient time to make changes or edits to Stage 1.
The Review Meeting can then take place.
Stage 2 – Agreed Future Objectives
After the review meeting takes place, the Agreed Future Objectives (Stage 2) is initiated by the Reviewee and submitted to the Reviewer via CORE Talent for approval. These sections should reflect what was discussed and agreed at the PRD meeting.
Stage 3 – Agreed Development Objectives
After the review meeting takes place, the Agreed Development Objectives (Stage 3) is initiated by the Reviewee and submitted to the Reviewer via CORE Talent for approval. These sections should reflect what was discussed and agreed at the PRD meeting.
Stage 4 – Overall Assessment
This stage is also initiated by the Reviewee and submitted to the Reviewer who provides an overall assessment regarding the performance and development of the Reviewee. This assessment should be consistent with what was discussed at the review meeting.
