What are manual or computerized records of employees' past performance, education, experience, and promotability called?

• A. Job slots
• B. Talent Inventories
• C. Geofencing
• D. Brand

Answer: (B)

Talent inventories are the organized records that capture an employee’s past performance, education, experience, and promotability, whether on paper or in a computer system. They function as a roster of internal talent, helping organizations see who is ready for advancement, who may need development, and where future leadership gaps might be. By compiling these attributes in one place, HR and managers can quickly match internal candidates to opportunities and plan succession and development efforts.

The other terms refer to different concepts: job slots are vacancies or openings to fill, geofencing is a location-based technology, and a brand concerns the company’s image and reputation rather than a personnel record.
