Need to improve "HR Administration" experience -\> software is very powerful for end user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you? The learning module helps us to manage training expiration dates (mandatory by regulations/certification) and to provide e-learning to end users. Recruitment processes were not centralised but handled by individual business units via HR business partners. This resulted in varying recruitment standards across the company and inconsistent ways of working. Hiring requests were made via paper and had to be discussed at weekly meetings, with managers having to physically sign papers for recruitment approval. We wanted to simplify and reduce HR administration to help the rest of the business better understand HR processes and to contribute to the overall efficiency of the company.

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/28/2019 "A great and complete tool to enhace the talent processes of any corporation." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Recruiting? The ability to customize the tools of every module according to the organization, including when the organization is composed by different companies with different business rules. We love the fact that every action done through the portal leaves a record which can be reported, this helps us a lot with the human factor, the adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Recruiting? Support it has been a pain in the neck, as long as the platform tools work as it is supposed to, everything is perfect. But once something fails, it is really difficult to get the issue fixed soon. Service level agreements are really long. Also, cornerstone current app is really dissapointing we really expect to be able to do more actions through it and not having problems while doing so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Recruiting: Even though they have already started working on their customer support, we feel miles far away from the experience expected and offered at the selling point. We have also spoken with other companies and agree with this last part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you? We are not really solving any problems with the platform, however, our benefits come from the automatization of talent processes and its control. Cornerstone has helped us to keep on track every process from recruitment to succession matters. Recruitment: Requisitions management is much better, however it has made us loose a few candidates with the addition of the flows. Learning: We strongly believe this is the most complete module which has helped us a lot to keep users on track of their expected training, unfortunately mobility through the app did not work at its best. Performance: The combination of the goals, competencies and development plans tools are really helping us to obtain the best from our employees as well as to follow up their performance. Compensation: We finally have been able to automate the salary increase process, we have had a few difficulties on the road but still a good option. Succession: Great option for us to be able to apply 9 box metodologies and also being able to follow all of the different high potentials or successors. We also have the connect module, however we have not been able yet to make of this a great success since people keep complaining it should be an app where you keep automatically logged in (as facebook).
