By 2015, Oracle's core HRMS and payroll ran completely on the cloud, and the company was building new Cloud HCM apps on mobile first to support an integrated mobile experience.<ref name=":4" /> These included life/work apps for employee wellness management, reputation management, and competitions.<ref name=":4" />

In January 2018, [Office Depot](/source/The_ODP_Corporation) started using Oracle HCM as its HR/talent management platform.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-01-31 |title=Office Depot deploying Oracle HCM |url=https://www.benefitnews.com/news/office-depot-deploying-oracle-hcm |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=Employee Benefit News |language=en}}</ref> In October of that year, Oracle added third-party tie-ins for [LinkedIn](/source/LinkedIn) Talent Solutions and My Brand tools to HCM Cloud.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2018-10-22 |title=Oracle debuts Subscription Management and CX Unity, updates to HCM Cloud and Data Cloud |url=https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/22/oracle-debuts-subscription-management-and-cx-unity-updates-to-hcm-cloud-and-oracle-data-cloud/ |access-date=2019-01-15 |website=VentureBeat |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2021, Oracle upgraded the platform to use low-code/no-code tools.<ref name="techtarget.com">{{Cite web |title=Oracle Cloud HCM introduces low-code/no-code template tools |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchhrsoftware/news/252499138/Oracle-Cloud-HCM-introduces-low-code-no-code-template-tools |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=SearchHRSoftware |language=en}}</ref> It also introduced its Dynamic Skills platform capability which uses [AI](/source/Artificial_intelligence) to catalog skills and suggest ways that employees and businesses as a whole can leverage skills.<ref name=":1" />

== Talent and workforce management ==
Companies can use Cloud HCM workforce modeling and prediction tools to predict possible hiring and reorganization needs. There are: a benefits portal that allows employees to sign up for their own benefits, a talent management tool that supports talent acquisition (recruiting) and retention, and learning modules that allow individuals to create and share different classes.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |date=2021-11-04 |title=Oracle Adds Tools to Strengthen Data Use in Fusion Cloud HCM |url=https://www.hcmtechnologyreport.com/oracle-adds-tools-to-strengthen-data-use-in-fusion-cloud-hcm/ |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=HCM Technology Report |language=en-US}}</ref> Cloud HCM also offers [LinkedIn](/source/LinkedIn) Talent Solutions tie-ins and My Brand tools to support employee collaboration and help employees find career development opportunities.<ref name=":2" />

In 2021, Oracle released a tool called Oracle Dynamic Skills to help companies manage employee skills and identify skill gaps.<ref name=":1" /> The set of tools is made up of three major components: Skills Nexus, which uses [AI](/source/Artificial_intelligence) to define and store skills profiles; Skills Advisor, a recommendation engine for skills across the talent business process that uses data about the employee and/or candidate; and Skills Center, a portal for employees to identify their skills and explore career growth opportunities.<ref name=":1" />

== Human resources (HR) ==
The Oracle Human Resources module within Oracle HCM includes some of the following capabilities:<ref name=":6" /><ref name="techtarget.com"/><ref>{{Cite web |title=How an HR help desk supports an HCM rollout |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchhrsoftware/feature/How-an-HR-help-desk-supports-an-HCM-rollout |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=SearchHRSoftware |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-03-19 |title=Oracle HCM Adds Features, Focuses on Usability |url=https://www.hcmtechnologyreport.com/oracle-hcm-features-focuses-usability/ |access-date=2022-03-28 |website=HCM Technology Report |language=en-US}}</ref>

HR administrators can restrict users' access to information based on their location; use configurable, rule-based action lists to manage policies for represented workers; and use LinkedIn Recruiter integrations to automate sourcing, candidate search, and referral recommendations.<ref name=":2" /> Cloud HCM also provides a smart employee sourcing tool that calculates factors such as likelihood to accept, performance predictions, and expected tenure.<ref name=":2" />

The HCM application is built to connect to a company's revenue and financial databases, working from the belief that employees are financially important and that financial and HR leadership may need to work together on long-term plans.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Baranouski |first=Artsiom |date=2024-04-13 |title=Building HRM Systems: A Canadian Guide to HR Tools in 2024 |url=https://aranouski.medium.com/building-hrm-systems-a-canadian-guide-to-hr-tools-in-2024-8b9cef1ed1bb |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=Medium |language=en}}</ref> With HCM, executives have access to total compensation metrics, can control compensation, and can design compensation plans.<ref name=":6" />
