Integrates job architecture and skills data to support strategic workforce planning
What I find valuable about Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform is that you integrate your data from skills and job architecture into one platform, and the power of their algorithms are the strongest that I have seen, with no other competitor enabling you to do things in a single platform. It also provides the ability to API connect into your HR information system, whether it be Workday, Oracle, or SuccessFactors, giving you much more AI enablement and more connection with external data, showing you how things are trending that better inform your internal decisions. The predictive analytics of Eightfold is strong. The reason for that is because of the way in which their algorithms are built on the basis of data that is looking at how you generate, in essence, career mobility, which makes them stronger than others. Because they work on a quarterly product development life cycle, what I have heard indicates that Eightfold is always going to be three years ahead of your HR information systems that are trying to add this capability into their platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to get matched to candidates is certainly valuable. In real time, you are able to adjust your description of the work and the project you need done in order to match you with the best candidates."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the insight we receive on current employees."
"The CRM is a useful feature to create user communities that we can actively engage in on an ongoing basis."
"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."
"This solution has made our team more collaborative. The recruiting team is easily able to see what the other team members are working on, what candidates are in process and how they can share candidates amongst themselves. They are now able to prevent work duplication due to increased visibility. Eightfold is candidate centric."
"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."
"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
 

Cons

"The sales representatives that I reached out to on LinkedIn weren't very helpful because once they realized that it was for a smaller company, they weren't as interested."
"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."
"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."
"The challenge I had was that they were outsourcing their implementation to third parties before you then re-engaged with them, which created a disconnect in terms of the implementation and integration into your overall IT architecture."
"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."
"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."
"From my perspective, I think the usability could use some attention. Eightfold.ai offers modules for talent acquisition, talent management, and other areas like projects. They try to use a common UI for all of them, but it really needs to be more persona-based. That's the thing that I struggle with the most."
"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."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

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."
"The pricing is fair compared to the market."
"The pricing is fairly competitive. The licensing is fairly flexible to have all employees take advantage of it in any given capacity."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."
