HR Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Applicant Tracking system" April 11, 2017 3.0 While our application in our organization is long, the Deltek system is of great use. It allows easy access to the applicant, to see in one place, each application/requisition. I do wish that there was a way to see Incomplete Applications on their personal (candidate)screen, and not only in the "Incomplete Applications" screen. Additionally, we wish the system would auto-alert us when a req has been open for 30/60 days. Pros It's nice to have the applicant reqs they applied to all in one screen. The workflow for a req is great. Cons Incomplete applications have to be found on that specific screen, and you can't find that information on the candidate's profile. Review Source RS Rodney S. Used the software for: ### "" July 25, 2013 5.0 With 5000 employees, we had a significant candidate pool and the paper driven process that was in place was not able to keep up with the volume of resumes; and the recruiting process had become a bottleneck at a time when talent was key to the company’s growth plans. To make things even more complicated, our direct hiring efforts paled in comparison to the extensive number of contingent employees that the company used to supplement its turn around and shut down services offered to our Petro-Chemical clients. After reviewing numerous Applicant Tracking System (ATS) offerings, we focused in and ultimately selected HRSmart because of their ability and willingness to offer us the utmost of customization to meet our dual hiring cycles. I was immediately impressed with the level of partnering I experienced with the implementation team from HRSmart. They went above and beyond to ensure that the system would accommodate our needs. This was quickly followed up with the most incredible customer service you could expect. Prior to my leaving, the decision was made to replace HRSmart with an offering from our HRIS provider - who had a bolt-on system that, in my opinion, was subpar and not an apples to apples peer to the HRSmart system. But as is often the case, my input was ignored for a more scalable system and what was sold as a fluid and integrated offering proved to be anything but fluid, and integration was nothing more than a buzz word. Through this whole process, HRSmart never once turned their back on us and made the transition a seamless one, due to their great efforts and not the new provider's. Upon assuming the role as Global Director of Talent Acquisition and Development at EDG Inc., - a full service, multi-discipline, international engineering consulting firm - I was tasked with replacing the existing ATS which was not capable of handling a high volume of talent acquisition function. Though the evaluation process required we look at multiple vendor offerings, I knew which system I wanted to implement. After an in depth review, the team came to the same conclusion and I was able to again implement HRSmart. This time I was able to implement their Enterprise system and have been more than satisfied ever since. I’m often asked by colleagues if I would recommend HRSmart for their use, and I enthusiastically answer with an absolutely. When asked why, my answer is always very simple. In the war for talent, timing is everything; and if my ATS is not working properly, or is the cause of a bottleneck, we lose credibility with candidates and our internal customers. Whenever I have an issue I cannot rectify myself (which is not very often but it does occur), I am able to get in touch with my dedicated CSR and Lori is hands down the best I’ve ever worked with. She is able to rectify most of my issues on the phone, and in the event that she needs to involve someone from the programming group, it’s done in an expedient manner rather than my being put on some wait list hoping that I’ll be up and running soon. Couple this with the fact that HRSmart offers not only the best bang for the buck when it comes to capability, but they also offer a true integrated system where all of the modules talk to each other. You can’t go wrong. To date we have implemented not only the ATS, but also the Employee Performance Management (EPM) module, and are looking at adding their Succession Planning and Learning Management modules as well. So in a nutshell, if you choose HRSmart you’re not only getting a true integrated system with best in class capabilities, you are also getting 6 star customer service and a vendor who will listen to your suggestions and actually implements them in their upgrades. Now, that’s a distinct advantage; and when it comes to the war for talent, you need every advantage you can get. Review Source PA Paul A.

Each Union has its own rules related to the hiring process. Our old process was very manual and paper based - which meant that it was hard to track the process from creating a requisition for hiring staff all the way through to the on-boarding process. Departmental Hiring Managers were often left wondering what was happening, with very little visibility into the process. It was close to impossible to create metric reports. We purchased the Enterprise version at the end of 2012, and we have not yet fully implemented the solution as we are deliberately rolling it out in phases so as not to overwhelm the staff that are involved with the hiring process. I have been very impressed with the flexibility of the system and we have been able to react quickly to suggestions during the roll out. I have also been very impressed by the support that we get from HRsmart. We rolled the requisition process out early in the year, and rapidly moved into the posting of positions and handling the applicants. Most of our users have found it easy to use and have been given the opportunity to provide suggestions to improve the process further. The system has provided us with a better visibility of all positions. We are now easily able to track from the original requisition, to what stage in the hiring process a position is in. Due to the improved visibility, we been able to move processes from HR to the Hiring manger in a department. This reduces the frustration hiring managers have had, never knowing what is happening and has freed up HR staff to work on other things. The physical time from creating a requisition to getting it posted has been dramatically reduced, sometimes this happens the same day. Also, by using the Integrated Job Target posting, we have saved further time distributing the posting across multiple job boards. A surprise advantage has been the availability of our postings on aggregated job boards, such as Indeed.com Review Source JT Jefferson T. Used the software for: ### "" August 1, 2013 4.5 Zale Corporation, based in Irving, Texas, is the leading specialty retailer of fine jewelry with over 1,800 retail locations and 11,000 Employees. By leveraging our great partnerships with HRSmart and Monster.com, we were able to solve several unique challenges we faced when posting positions, tracking applicants, candidate communications, managing requisitions, and onboarding new employees. The solution we chose in May of 2012 was the Monster Unified Application system. This has enabled us to evolve and move away from paper applications, informal requisitions, onboarding paperwork mishaps, manual management of pre-employment assessments, and the manual tracking of candidates through the use of spreadsheets. The initial project requirements we set for the HRSmart implementation team were very unique, challenging, and extremely large in scope. However, the HRSmart team provided us the suggestions, guidance, and solutions we needed. Additionally, during ramp up, they conducted daily calls with our implementation team and HRIT support departments to ensure our rollout timelines and functionality requirements were achieved. The post-implementation support via our dedicated Client Services Account Manager has been exceptional! The quick response time and ongoing support continue to exceed our expectations, and has made the transition extremely smooth. Overall, our field and home office hiring managers have been extremely impressed with the functionality of the system: from the elimination of paper applications, the ease of tracking applicants, documentation, candidate communications, pre-employment testing integration, and the electronic offer / onboarding process. Over the past 15 years, I have utilized various Applicant Tracking Systems and HRSmart is top of the list for functionality, customization, partnership, and client support! It is a product I have been extremely proud to and have recommend to other companies. Review Source MC Melissa C.

All information handy once applicants submit their applications. Pros Easy to toggle between jobs postings and candidates, as well as view profile info on each applicant. Cons Sometimes freezes due to a mass amount of information the site is holding. Also, seems to copy over duplicates. Review Source AY Andrea Y.

Deltek's product team actively considers functionality improvements are part of their product roadmap, which not all talent management vendors do. Pros Configurations, including custom forms and tokens. Cons Time for enhancements to be requested and included in a product release. Review Source AW Avienne W.

Cons É preciso dar mais oportunidade as pessoas Review Source ME Michael E. Account Executive Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Meh too confusing" October 11, 2017 3.0 There are better tools out there. Stay away! Pros There aren't a lot of pros with Deltek's system. Everything is cloud based which is nice and they do offer integration for many company platforms. Customer service (which i spoke to for awhile) was very helpful but they can't change functionality issues. Review Source TM Tiffany M. Used the software for: ### "New to Deltek Talent" April 14, 2017 3.0 We are in the infancy stages of developing and integrating Deltek Talent with our current Vision system. I can't really say how I like it or how it works quite yet. We are hoping to go live in June. I gave 3-5 stars based on my instructional experience thus far. Review Source PC Pallavi C. Used the software for: ### "Deltek Review" April 18, 2017 5.0 I have been using Deltek for about 6 months.

Review Source BS Breezy S. Program Manager Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamline and Simple" September 19, 2025 4.0 Overall my experience is positive especially if you are required to complete a timecard for a business. I very much appreciate Deltek having an App, so if need to update a timecard you can do so w/ the convenience of using your phone. Pros I liked the copy previous timecard function the most. Timecards are often a rinse and repeat function, so this made complete week after week easy. I also like being able to stay on 1 screen for nearly all information viewing - like accumulated leave hours. Cons I did not find it intuitive to delete a leave request once placed, and I would value this being something more easily understood / accessible in future versions. Review Source MR Mackenzie R. Declassification Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ease of Timekeeping but Hard to Navigate " March 28, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Deltek talent management has been positive. It allows for seamless timekeeping and gives both employees and employers transparency and clear worktime monitoring. Pros Deltek allows for several modalities to be combined in one platform. Employees can log hours, submit time-off requests, and track accrued sick and vacation time. Cons Their user interface is not the easiest to navigate. The platform takes some time and trial and error to figure out where things are located. Review Source CC Chitranzan C. Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Retain and make best use of quality employees " June 4, 2025 5.0 Even though the cost of operating Dektek is high, but it is still worth using, considering the functionality of the software. I loved using it as it helped me retain the best candidates for the company. Pros It is single platform that helps managing the employees from the time of their hire to the point they are no longer with the company. It provides step by step instructions for new hires during on-boarding, track training certifications and help with appraisals. Everything in a single software: Deltek Talent Management. Cons The cost of using this software and no mobile application to use it remotely are the two main issues I faced. Review Source SR Shilpa R.

Cons While Deltek provides robust reporting tools, the reporting functionality can sometimes feel rigid, requiring additional customization to meet specific reporting needs. Review Source OA OMAR A. Senior Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Enhanced my skills of managing employees to a greater extent" April 18, 2025 4.0 Pros Deltek Talent Management is a great solution that organizations can use to manage their human resource departments well. It also integrates easily on performance reviews and training and development for promotion aiding in the enhancement of support offered to the employees. Cons The idea of the paper pointed out the employee self-service portal could be more friendly. Usually employees may experience certain challenges to navigate. This might lead to frustration particularly when one is in dire need of performance feedback, or training information. Review Source YM Yousaf M.

The user interface is not complex too. Satisfactory. Pros I like how everything is in one place when setting up my work profile. Quite easy to use to. The user interface is not complex too, Cons No cons. It’s a satisfactory platform. Maybe option of fonts could be added? Like how you can change themes on the platform. Review Source NH NADEEM H. Project Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ATS with a lot of bells and whistles " September 5, 2019 3.0 When we purchased the application it was a god sent, it greatly increased some efficiencies. However, saying this we found that we required more out of an ATS that the current product did not have available. Pros For organziations that are having a limitation with manual processes of R&O, this product will be most helpful. It will streamline posting positions, reviewing CVs, and organizing hiring committees. Cons Some organizations may have difficulties with changing their business process to meet the specification of the software. If you require certain config changes and they are system related you may be out of luck as this is a Saas solution, meaning it will take a long time to implement this. Review Source NR Nick R. Used the software for: ### "" October 3, 2013 5.0 I have used the HR Smart ATS twice now. Once as customized enterprise system and once as a standard product. The ability to customize the product was very helpful to us in how we managed our business. We had some unique circumstances and the support team worked with us to make the system work within our business parameters. It was a big win and timesaver in managing the Staffing group and generating reports. The second time I used the ATS was at a smaller company, I was a one man staffing department. It was very helpful in automating postings to our company site and to the paid posting sites; and also in gathering resumes and creating a useful and searchable database. The system gives me the EEO reports that I need to write the Affirmative Action Plan. Although less flexible than an enterprise install, the standard product works well and is affordable. I also link the ATS to the public job posting sites that are required by the OFCCP and can generate reports on applicant flow for audit purposes. All ATS products have limitations. You have to be mindful about implementation decisions as it will effect your overall experience. I have used this product at both ends of the install range and I am very happy. HR Smart has been great tool for me. My customers are amazed at what we have been able to do, compared to life before HR Smart.
