In the modern HR landscape, the administrative burden of evaluating talent has become a hidden productivity killer, driven largely by the digital friction of searching for scattered data.
For HR professionals, this “toggle tax” is particularly paralyzing during talent reviews. When shortlisting candidates for a promotion or internal transfer, managers are typically forced to jump back and forth across multiple individual profile pages to piece together tenure, payroll data, performance ratings, and attendance records.

The Hidden Cost of Fragmented Data

• The Digital Friction: A 2022 study published by Harvard Business Review found that the average digital worker toggles between applications and websites nearly 1,200 times per day, costing them just under four hours every week trying to reorient themselves.
• The Administrative Burden: According to Deloitte‘s research, HR professionals already spend up to 57% of their time managing repetitive administrative tasks like payroll processing and leave management.
• The Talent Review Bottleneck: Gartner research indicates 57% of managers spend 11 to 30 minutes discussing and calibrating just a single employee during talent review meetings.

A Unified Command Center for HR

The June 2026 Smart Salary Employee Profile update directly neutralizes this friction by introducing a unified comparison feature that brings scattered employee profile information into one page. By fundamentally shifting HR’s time away from exhausting data retrieval, this update empowers efficient, data-driven decisions for promotions, transfers, and organizational growth.

Core Platform Updates

Compare Up to 5 Employees on One Screen

The comparison page supports adding up to 5 employees simultaneously. Each candidate is displayed in an individual card featuring their avatar, name, position, and department at the top. This unified view drastically reduces page switching and improves information review efficiency.

Multi-Dimensional Information Displayed by Module

Evaluate candidates across comprehensive dimensions, including basic info, position, emergency contacts, education, payroll, attendance, warning letters, and performance. A right-side module navigation allows users to quickly jump to specific criteria, such as focusing strictly on position/organization for job fit.

Same Fields Arranged Horizontally for Clearer Differences

In every module, identical fields (like tenure, payroll items, or performance) are aligned horizontally. HR can view corresponding information for different employees in the exact same row, making it easier to instantly spot differences without toggling back and forth.

Add or Remove Employees Flexibly

Adjust your comparison targets on the fly. During a promotion or transfer evaluation, you can start with a baseline set of candidates and temporarily add or remove other employees as your screening scope evolves mid-review.

Better Support for Talent Decisions

With multi-dimensional information displayed side-by-side, companies gain direct references to confidently evaluate job fit and execute talent reviews, promotions, job transfers, and recognition decisions.
