The award highlights Infor Talent Science’s use of predictive analytics to help retailers make more informed talent decisions, identify candidates with a stronger potential for fit, and build teams positioned for long-term success.

“Congratulations to Infor on this well-deserved recognition,” said Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com. “Their innovative HR solutions help retail employers address workforce challenges, strengthen talent practices, and build stronger organizations and people.”
Infor Talent Science is transforming retail hiring and talent management with predictive people analytics, helping organizations reduce frontline turnover, accelerate high-volume hiring, improve productivity, develop stronger leaders, and deliver more consistent customer experiences.

According to industry data, retail turnover often exceeds 60% annually, costing employers billions in recruiting and training expenses. By leveraging predictive analytics, Infor Talent Science aims to help retailers not only fill positions faster but also identify candidates more likely to stay and succeed, ultimately improving both workforce stability and customer satisfaction.

The award underscores the broader trend of HR technology moving toward predictive and prescriptive analytics, moving beyond traditional applicant tracking systems. For retail businesses, where frontline employees directly impact customer experience and revenue, the ability to predict candidate success can be a competitive differentiator.
