Lead Talent Sourcer for Account / Project Management & Business Development Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Hello to Talent with HelloTalent" December 19, 2018 5.0 I'm working as Talent Sourcer at Staffing agency from last 4 Years. Being a Talent Sourcer I found it more efficient for talent solution than any online platform. Love you guys for the perfect solution for staffing machines. Pros Easy interface | Targeted Leads Perfect software to hit targeted leads for your staffing needs. Cons Nothing Everything is perfect. I used many software similar to this but Hello is perfect. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Global Executive Search Consultant Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I'm happy with applicant tracking system hellotalent" December 27, 2018 5.0 HelloTalent saves me time when sourcing and sometimes finds me by itself additional info that I would miss on candidates, through their social sourcing. It's worth paying for it on top of Linkedin recruiter because of the additional functionality that it provides. Pros Easy to use, adds profiles with a couple of clicks thanks to its Chrome plug-in, easy to rank candidates. I'm OK paying their monthly fee even though Linkedin Recruiter offers some of the same functionality, because HelloTalent is more agile at saving profiles, ranking them, saving my notes on each candidate and finding me additional social media on those candidates. Cons Occasionally they've had downtimes during working hours, but I give them a pass because they're a startup and still perform better than the alternatives that I saw.

Web based easy to use to bring acceleration in recruitment Pros easy to use and data driven options with It is possible to bring on board even the most stubborn hiring managers with a one pager or 10 minutes in this tool.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hello Talent - The Sourcers Friend" August 29, 2019 4.0 When you or a small team is tasked with finding candidates or building talent pools for specific roles, Hello Talent is the fastest way to get started. Very easy and intuitive to use and saves lots of time. Pros Fastest and easiest way to build talent pools and shortlists from online profiles Cons Lacking some features of a traditional ATS, but great as a sourcing tool to use in conjunction with other software to manage workflows etc. Reason for choosing Cegid HR Specifically for sourcing, Hello Talent is the stand out product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool to engage in the recruitment new era" December 27, 2018 5.0 I really enjoyed the fact that I could share information quickly with the different recruitments' stakeholders. We could easily discuss applications and share our feedbacks. Pros The tool is really easy to understand and to get started with. It includes all a recruiter needs to create and animate selected networks and talent pools. Cons I didn't use the reports features so I could not say how good it is on this part. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HRIS Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hello Talent Review" December 19, 2018 4.0 The functionality of the forms via Hello Talent has allowed us to improve our management of Rh events (afterworks, school fair, recruitment fair,...) by retrieving more CVs and in a more intuitive way. Pros Its ergonomics and ease of handling. As well as the possibility to customize the status by pool Cons Not being able to report. As a result, we cannot create reports on the activities (weekly, monthly, etc.) of our users. Review Source Prof. Dr Abdel J. CTO/COO Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great user experience" December 27, 2018 4.0 Great. Pros I would say the ease of the interface, and how clear the functions are. Cons Support response time. Feedback regarding various topics can be better. Review Source Nico V. Didactisch medewerker O-team Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great abilities but it requires a permanent knowledge" June 20, 2018 4.0 It improved our learners (employees) a lot. However it is not allways easy to use as an admin. Pros Such a wide range of possibilities, many other E-learning tools do not offer. A lot of depth in use as an admin allows to configurate a lot. The interface has improved positively the last year. Keep it up that way! Cons To me it doenst look and works intuitive at all. You must be trained in order to use as an admin. This causes you often do not know how do do things properly if allready you know they exist. Review Source Zachary W. Freelance Translator Hospitality Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy useful Service" December 18, 2018 5.0 Pros I like this software because it's very easy to use and don't have go searching yourself for candidates. Cons The thing that I don't like about this software is that sometimes it gives you candidates who doesn't have the exact credentials that you are looking for. Review Source JBP Jean Baptiste P. Chef de projets Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solution e-learning complète mais compliquée" December 24, 2020 4.0 Lorsque nous recherchions une plateforme LMS pour diffuser nos formations e-learning, nous avions été convaincu par e-doceo, depuis racheté par Talentsoft. La solution e-learning répondait tout à fait à notre demande de l'époque (aux environs 2013-2014). Mais le rachat par Talentsoft a changé la donne, et on sentait bien que la priorité était donné à leur module RH et plus du tout à la formation e-learning. Lorsque nous avons voulu intégrer des modules pour gérer les formations blended, rien de simple ne nous a été proposé. Je pense que Talentsoft est un bon SIRH, mais n'est plus un LMS/LCMS à la hauteur de nos espérances. Pros Nous utilisons uniquement la plateforme de formation e-learning, qui est paramétrable avec énormément d'options, d'automatisations. Cela permet de définir des process qui fonctionnent bien, mais c'est très chronophage à configurer. Il est possible de configurer des mails de relances automatiques, de créer des documents personnalisés et des rapports exportés périodiquement. Cons Le logiciel de développement e-learning est beaucoup trop lourd et lent. De plus, il n'est pas simple d'utilisation. L'alternative en mode Saas ne permet pas de personnalisation satisfaisante. Nous avons rencontré des problèmes fréquents à quelques reprises, et bien que le support fait de son mieux, la réponse apportée est des fois trop lente. Alternatives considered [360Learning](https://www.capterra.com/p/230567/360Learning/) Reason for choosing Cegid HR Nous avons été séduit par la personnalisation de la plateforme et le paramétrage de la plateforme qui permet de programmer des mails automatiques, ce qui est très utile.

Since they have started they have not been sitting down for a minute. The tool keeps getting better without any noticing bugs. Pros its easy to use for me , but more important my customers, i do not have to explain how the tool works because of the easy and simple to use interface. Cons ... i does not do all the work for me .. but other than that i am highly possitive. It is faster than any other ATS i ve worked with because it is not a complete ats. Review Source RF Roberto F.

Vendeur Broadcast Media Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My journey with Hello Talent" December 27, 2018 4.0 Pros The Ease of Use of the Software and all features available on this that aren’t available on other HR softwares Cons This a software that is a bit expansive for small companies Review Source Alexandra N.

Cons A better tutorial introduction. First experience a bit difficult. Review Source CR Celine R. Responsable Recrutement Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Un ATS fiable mais manque de fonctionnalités et de modernité" November 28, 2023 3.0 Un outil créé pour des RH, moins pour des managers. Outil avec beaucoup d'options intéressantes mais payantes ce qui le rend particulièrement cher par rapport à ses concurrents. Pros Une solution reconnue sur le marché avec la possibilité d'interfacer un grand nombre d'outils (cooptation, multi-diffusion, tests...). Des consultants sympathiques, la possibilité de réaliser régulièrement des audits pour identifier les pistes d'amélioration possibles. L'outil est bien pensé pour être déployé dans des organisations multi-marques / filiales, avec une gestion simple des paramètres par entité. Il y a aussi la possibilité de le déployer à l'international car l'outil est traduit dans plusieurs langues. Cons Un ATS peu accessible aux Managers et aux opérationnels : nous souhaitions que nos managers soient autonomes pour diffuser leurs offres d'emploi et traiter les candidatures reçues. Le système de fonctionnement par licence de Talent Soft ne nous permettait pas de leur mettre à disposition l'ATS car le coût était beaucoup trop important et le logiciel n'était pas assez intuitif pour être facilement pris en main par des managers. Problème de Sécurisation d'envoi de données sensibles : les candidatures étaient transmises par email aux managers, qui suivaient un lien pour consulter les CV sans avoir besoin de s'identifier, ceci n'était pas conforme en termes de RGPD. "Expérience candidat" décevante et pas de solution "mobile friendly". - Le site recrutement associé à notre ATS n'était pas responsive, pour le développer en API il fallait compter entre 20 et 25K€. Nous savions que 70% de nos candidats utilisaient un smartphone pour consulter et répondre à nos annonces, c'était autant de candidatures perdues. - Pour les Managers, pas de possibilité de se connecter depuis depuis leur mobile, pour traiter les candidatures partout en magasin, en entrepôt ou en déplacement. Concernant le suivi de la performance de nos jobboards, nous avions un outil obsolète et devions ajouter 10K€ supplémentaires pour bénéficier d'une option performante. En cas de problème, nous devions passer par un système de ticket peu performant. Nous avions rarement une réponse dans la journée. Review Source Colin M. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hello Talent - Great tool for building talent pools and managing the recruiting workflow" December 28, 2018 4.0 Hello Talent has evolved from a handy sourcing tool to a full-featured recruiting system which is easy to use and facilitates teamwork through the hiring process. Hello Talent's team approach to the recruitment process means it will be a good fit for many in-house recruiting teams, specialist executive search firms and those agencies who are more interested in managing the workflow and speeding up the recruitment process rather than measuring KPIs and commissions. Pros Hello Talent is a great tool for quickly building, sharing and qualifying a talent pool. If you are sourcing talent online - through LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and other social media - the Chrome Extension lets you quickly capture profiles which can be shared with sourcing colleagues, recruiters or hiring managers. Ease of use is a key selling point for Hello Talent and pretty much anyone can get started with the product with little or no training. Anyone who has used a traditional Applicant Tracking System will appreciate the streamlined approach; when you are working at pace to a deadline, you don't want your tools slowing you down. Using Hello Talent sourcers can work with recruiters and hiring managers to build talent pools for qualification and processing through the hiring process. Everyone on the hiring team has visibility over the status of each candidate and the approach to the hiring workflow is far superior to most applicant tracking systems. Hello Talent works well for single recruiters, larger agencies with teams of sourcers working with consultants to build talent pools and in-house recruiting teams. It would also work well for executive search firms. Cons In terms of usability and functionality, there's not much to dislike about Hello Talent. However, as with all SaaS products, you are introducing another data processor to the mix, so you'll have to do your own due diligence and ensure that you are compliant with current data protection legislation. Hello Talent does handle GDPR compliance, but this will need some configuration and some housekeeping to maintain. For agencies used to monitoring individual consultant performance, it might be a struggle to get used to the team approach to recruitment that Hello Talent encourages. If your focus is on KPIs and billings, you might struggle to get the kind of management information reporting from Hello Talent that you might see in some other, more traditional, Applicant Tracking Systems. There is a CV parsing option, but this is only available with the Enterprise version. If you are still attracting applicants from traditional job board ads and mining CV libraries, this may be an issue as most applicant tracking systems will include a CV parser in the standard product.
