Succession Planning: For the job, you created a succession plan and ask the system to give you the people who are ready now which means they have similar skills, languages, capabilities, experience, and everything which the person who was occupying the particular job had.
Incumbent: Use this plan type to replace a specific person in the organization
Job: Use this plan type to identify candidates for a particular job, such as Business Analyst or Sales Representative.
Position: Use this plan type to identify candidates for a particular position, such as Senior Vice President for Sales or Assistant Marketing Manager
Readiness: This indicates how soon a person can take up the job or position.
Interim Successor: This indicates that the candidate can't be considered as an actual prospect but can perform the duties of the incumbent, or for the job or position until an actual successor is identified
You can add candidates in a succession plan to an existing talent pool to manage candidate development. The development goals in a talent pool can prepare candidates for the relevant job or position.
