Maximizing PI’s potential: Talent Optimization Essentials bridges the gap

Too often, HR teams are working with a mix-and-match tech stack. We try to solve complex people problems with a patchwork panacea – this tool for that, that other tool for this, some legacy software sprinkled in. Lots of inputs, but limited connections. 

There’s a better way to approach a talent strategy in 2025. Today’s HR leaders face some heady challenges. From talent shortages plaguing certain industries, to generational differences complicating communication, the future of work is fraught with forces that demand innovation and agility. Innovative talent professionals will work alongside other business leaders to ensure their people are not only prepared, but positioned ahead of the curve. 

Optimizing the entire journey with a science-backed approach

To operate efficiently, you need to connect the dots. You need tools – or ideally, one tool – that seamlessly integrate your pre-hire efforts with your employee engagement and retention priorities, as well as everything in between.

The Talent Optimization Essentials bundle codifies that connection. Whether you’re already using one of The Predictive Index software tools or not, this package cuts down the distance between the disparate. Everything is in one place, with behavioral data as the tie that binds.

Behavioral Assessments? Check. Communication guidance? Check. Built-in AI to keep meeting agendas on track, and store notes seamlessly? It’s all available within a few clicks. 

People leaders, breathe easy. You’ve finally found a bridge for your tech-stack gaps. 

What is Talent Optimization Essentials?

In short, it’s the easiest way yet to bring Talent Optimization into your organization. This software bundle contains three products that are mission-critical to hiring, developing, and retaining top talent:

  • PI Hire: Skip the pain of mishires. Use behavioral and cognitive data to pinpoint the right candidates for the right roles.
  • PI Inspire: Upskill internal talent with science-powered development tools, and solve conflict with personalized relationship guides.
  • PI Perform: Add PI data to your daily workflow. Lead effective meetings, work collaboratively in group workspaces, and stay accountable to upcoming tasks.

It’s a package suited to the current moment – one defined by challenges that will change the very nature of our work. HR leaders who innovate and adapt – both through their tech use and their talent strategy – will better prepare their people, and position their business to endure. 

Promote alignment and accountability by integrating your essentials

Getting the most out of your PI products means improving team alignment. PI Perform, in particular, promotes transparency and accountability. Everyone has access to the same data in real time, leaving less room for ambiguity or oversight. It’s an easy value add that everyone on your team can get behind. 

It’s the most efficient way to maximize your PI value.

Case study: How Club16 saved more than half a million on turnover costs since rolling out PI Perform.

Each product integrates with one another, unlocking a full suite of post-hire development and engagement tools. By connecting these tools, you can:

  • Find the right candidate in Hire, then create an onboarding workspace in Perform between the new hire and their manager.
  • Apply job data from Hire to coaching conversations between the managers and their report in Inspire.
  • Leverage Inspire data in Perform. View Reference Profiles, access 1:1 relationship tips, and even get recommended agenda topics based on your behavioral data.

Integrate PI with one of 60+ HRIS providers, and ensure your employee data always stays up to date.

The future of Talent Optimization is here.
