Workforce and recruitment data tool that drastically reduced our time to hire at scale
This solution has improved the time to fill positions. We're able to do talent mapping and provide talent market insights based on the dashboards and data that Eightfold offers. Within a two week period, we are now able to have people ready to interview with a hiring manager, which is a huge win for us. It has become part of the sourcing strategy that's being deployed for all talent teams across different organizations in the US. We were able to execute a hire using Eightfold within the first month of deployment. This is due to the fact that we were able to source previous applicants for a specific position. Currently, 50% of our talent activities will be shifting towards Eightfold. Within a week or two, we have had people in various phone screen stages, whether with a recruiter, a sourcer or a hiring manager. We are about to launch the capabilities for scheduling interviews to reduce time to schedule from 4 to 5 days down to 48 to 72 hours. Eightfold takes the focus out of job titles. When you're sourcing using your own database, you look for job titles that are similar to the roles that you have open. However, job titles differ from company to company, and sometimes one person would have a specific job title but have different roles and responsibilities. The calibration tool allows our hiring managers to search our database and find candidates with a broader range of relevant skills.

Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The CRM is a useful feature to create user communities that we can actively engage in on an ongoing basis."
"I really like the ability to run campaigns with pipelines and events. Matching prospects based on skills and the calibration process has been most valuable."
"This solution has also been easy to use for people visiting our career site. Our survey report shows that 79-80% of users marked the application process to be very easy on our website."
"From my perspective, one of the most valuable aspects of Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform was the talent matching and employee game planning of future roles."
"This solution has allowed our team to focus on higher value activities and to make sure that they are optimizing time to identify talent and match it to opportunities. They can then focus on the layers where humans are necessary."
"It really expedites the whole process and helps the end-customer hone in on what they need. With the evolution to remote work that we are currently going through, there's much more of a need to tailor recruiting."
"The most valuable feature has been the ease at which people can set up their profiles by simply uploading their CV or Linkedin profile. We previously had very low levels of adoption."
"Stability is fantastic. In the two years we've used it, I've only experienced one outage."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"It is priced low."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
 

Cons

"Eightfold could be improved if they had more round table conversations about features and their roadmap. They should actively seek out feedback from their customers."
"It would be interesting to enable Eightfold to have a user experience that is seamless in terms of single sign on to and from core systems of record. That is, the ability for a user or hiring manager/recruiter to go in and out of Eightfold back into their core system, whether that be Oracle, Workday, SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, etc. It would great to be able to go back and forth with a single sign on capability so that you don't have to log in and out of applications, where it's a bidirectional single sign on."
"We have had a couple of challenges with some of the things that we're currently trying to build out in our HCM application, and other things within the portfolio, but those aren't customer-facing issues."
"We're doing user testing now, and on the calibration page, there's no publish button. I have to go to overview to publish it. It could be user error, but it would be nice to be able to easily figure out where buttons are and what they do."
"The tagging feature is not as in depth and easy to use as I would've hoped for. Although you can create tags for candidates, there's no way to report all those tags and see what tags are already created."
"There is room for improvement with regards to sourcing and attribution and to be more efficient with connecting leads."
"An opportunity for Eightfold to improve on is to open up their environment to allow us to own our application maintenance and development environment. We would like to be able to make some of the configuration changes and improvements ourselves."
"There are some small product features that could be enhanced. Ease of use and the recruiter user experience could be improved. Moving through certain stages involves many clicks which can be time consuming."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a fairly expensive solution compared to others on the market. However, the solution offers functionality of a number of other different solutions combined. From that perspective, it is competitively priced."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."
"The pricing is fairly competitive. The licensing is fairly flexible to have all employees take advantage of it in any given capacity."
"The pricing is fair compared to the market."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
