Classum, which runs the AI-based HR intelligence solution Telta, said on Tuesday it signed a strategic business agreement with HRD specialist Carrot Global to build a data-driven HRD innovation model.

The agreement focuses on combining Telta’s diagnostics and analysis technology with Carrot Global’s Human Resource Development operating experience to build a more scientific and systematic talent development environment.

The companies will set up a phased cooperation framework, starting with joint planning and development of an HR diagnostic solution. The cooperation will extend to operating diagnostics and reporting analysis results, building models linking education programmes, and identifying new cooperation models.

According to the company, Telta supports rational and consistent HR decision-making based on data. It designs job and competency frameworks using more than 600,000 global job data cases worldwide, and analyses individual skills data to present role fit and growth potential. It also provides specific guidance on individual strengths and development directions through data analysis that breaks down jobs, and supports linking this to education and career development. The company said firms can improve the efficiency and execution of HR operations.

Jeon So-young, head of the Telta division at Classum, said Telta helps companies make persuasive decisions based on job and competency data and helps employees recognise their roles and growth direction. She said the cooperation with Carrot Global is meaningful in that it expands Telta’s role into the HRD field. She said learning and growth data are already being precisely designed and operated through Telta at various companies, and that it will continue contributing to an environment in which the entire HR process is connected by data so that companies and employees can grow together.
