### "Great HR tool"

August 16, 2025

5.0

I was happy to use Eightfold in my organization. The AI tool that recommends matching positions is a great tool.

Pros

I think it is a great HR tool that uses AI and provides an easy to use and great way for managing internal HR and applications

Cons

Although it is a great overall too, I found that it is not very versatile when it comes to customization and setup.

### "Supercharging our ATS"

November 6, 2019

4.0

Overall Eightfold has been great for our team and continues to help us hire faster and more efficiently.

Pros

\- Stack ranking applicants - Revisiting old, forgotten candidates for new roles - Diversity analytics!

Cons

\- The chrome extension on top of LinkedIn is a bit clunky - Data exports are large and different than what the dashboards show - Data fields from our ATS (Lever) don't perfectly match up with the filters in Eightfold

Reason for choosing Eightfold.ai

Diversity analytics \*and\* sourcing solutions.

### "Not up to my expectations! "

February 3, 2025

2.0

Could have been a great tool for us but there was a poor internal adoption (mostly because the UX/UI which didn't make this tool easy to use for us)

Pros

The chrome extension was great because it allowed us to use Eightfold on top of other tools.

Cons

Unfortunately, Eightfold wasn't really intuitive. The UI and UX were really bad when I was using it.

### "Much better than all other products"

June 29, 2021

5.0

Hiring the right candidate for the right job is the basic problem that is being solved.

Pros

I like the look at feel much better than any other software we have used before. This has made it very easy to provide feedback on candidates

Cons

Ability to get some metrics about candidate and the calibration ability is not the best. Would expect the calibration ability for sure.

### "Fantastic next generation product that helps elevate your recruiting team's impact on the business. "

February 27, 2019

5.0

Incredible attention paid to customer's wants within the platform and always striving to take the product beyond what it's currently capable of. They are not happy staying stagnant in what they offer which is incredibly refreshing.

Pros

Great AI powered lead generation from existing candidate pool. Great email tool for not only initial outreaches but scheduled follow ups. Super helpful Chrome plug in that integrates/ expands external searches into existing talent pools. Incredible customer support and proactive development team.

Cons

Lacks some deeper user analytics insight. Hoping for a more robust customizable and personalized home page to navigate through different stages of the recruiting process.

### "Eightfold optimizes recruiting efficiency "

November 11, 2019

5.0

Eightfold increased our productivity per recruiter by over 50%.

Pros

Huge time saver in finding candidates. Instead of searching for candidates through keywords Eightfold brings candidates to you, we spend very little time now finding the right candidates to reach out to and more time interviewing.

Cons

It's not an ATS and therefore at some point you do have to move btwn Eightfold and your ATS.

### "Do your homework"

November 11, 2019

1.0

Very disheartening that the service and support is not where it needs to be.

Pros

The initial ideas behind the functionality of Eightfold were ideal for an industry with such steep competition.

Cons

The fact that the integration has not even completed and we started this process in April of this year. Many issues along the way.

Reason for choosing Eightfold.ai

The system was chosen for us with the concept that this product would work seamlessly with Workday and this just was not the case.

### "Good source of resumes, usually good match for role, but required a lot of tweaking"

February 17, 2022

4.0

I used this for a client when I was doing sourcing for them. It was a tool they'd selected and were then moving away from because of a merger. The original company users loved it - I did think it provided good candidates, though, especially if I described my "perfect" candidate well.

Pros

It provided leads that were as good as the "sample" candidate loaded

Cons

If the sample candidate wasn't a good match, it didn't work, and it wasn't always that easy to use

### "Join the future of the TA space"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

Cutting edge of the industry-- the team behind this software is investing a lot of time thinking of the next big thing to transform the TA space. They're excited to work closely with their partners to continuously grow and iterate on their existing product.

Cons

They're still early in their journey-- if you're an agile company that is willing to put in the time to hop in on the product journey, that's great! However, you must be patient while the product works out a few kinks.

Eightfold is ahead of the curve and changing the way TA is operating / being structured to deliver quality in a much more timely and effective way. Thank you Eightfold!

Pros

The product is ahead of the curve and helping shape the way TA delivers talent and how they partner with the business to drive results.

Cons

The analytics aspect is great to look at but not being able to download and manipulate data is a feature I am excited to see them build on.
