Service Delivery Associate Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/19/2024 "Best Applicant Tracking System for Talent Acquisition" 5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Talentlink? It helps our team manage our application pool for a full 360 hiring process. Its a software with a lot of features that definitely is helpful for recruiters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? May take some time to learn every feature, but overall worth it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? They were able to solve one of the most tedious part of hiring which is the job offer part - before we do it individually/per applicant ID. Now the software managed to have a feature called 'bulk hiring' where we can select multiple applicants to hire all at once Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Experience for candidates, navigation for recruiters and managers, Analytics reports, shortcuts in the menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? Permissions and access cannot be controlled like in SABA Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Talentlink: Be very clear about the company's recruitment process, the permissions they want to grant, and the reports they want to obtain from the entire process to optimize time. Similarly, it is necessary to be very clear about all the fields that will be necessary when the candidate applies, and when the vacancy is opened by the manager, that can be reported.

MH Melissa H. Mrs. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/12/2019 "Recruitment tool for large international fashion corporation" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Talentlink? This tool made it extremely easy to track our candidates. Firstly, with its customizable headings: these allowed you to choose things such as date of birth and/or university to be shown before viewing the applicants resume. In my role, I was recruiting for interns which meant they had to be in school. Between looking at the age and the school they were attending, I was able to already kindly reject the individuals who didn’t fit into the candidate profile by being in school. Absolutely a huge time saver!! What was also a great aspect was being able to view comments regarding particulate candidates who had potentially applied at an earlier time for another role. Sometimes the notes from the earlier application were the deciding factors for whether a person would be considered or not for a role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? The way I had to manually enter all of the job descriptions. At the time, I had to type everything in section by section. It would have been ideal to have a system where you could upload a word doc or pdf and have it build itself via the doc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? When working with several recruiters in one office, Talentlink allowed us to not overlap one another. Should one individual apply for multiple roles, each recruiter could see this information and know whether they were already being processed for a particular role. This way we didn’t have the issue of two teams wanting one person. Sometimes in a busy department, communication is lacking. This is where Talentlink is completely beneficial! Even on days where we didn’t speak with our team members, we could in a way trace their steps (role and candidate wise) and have an understanding of what was going on in their departments.

Project Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/28/2018 "Experiencing Talentlink" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Talentlink? Easy to take contact with their group in order to have a demo trial version in the early stage of our software selection project. After a a short video conference based on a well conducted webinar, we dediced to start with proving this tool. In the first steps we faced an ease of use mainly regarding the screening of the candidates' curriculum vitae and the way to organize them in a proper way, so that our hr team could have a better work approach. In fact we experimented a subdivision of work in our hr team where each colleague follow up on a specific serie or part of the curriculum vitae received and start to perform a first screen between them. THis have been a good experiment and took to our company many feed backs that we used for enhancing this part f the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? During the screening of the curriculum vitae we faced with some little issues of visualization but they were very few and very marginal, so we can't complain about that. But the set of the element proposed is too tight to deeply help with our first level screening activity. In other words this software could be more decisive if they would enlarge the set of the element to focus on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Talentlink: Well, it depends on the aim your company wants to reach. If the curriculum vitae flow is really huge as in ours wee need a wider set of tools to perform a more decisive first level screening activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? For sure this software helped to have a better perspective of the huge amount of curriculum vitae that we daily and weekly receive. As previously said, we experimented another way of managing the curriculum vitae flow and their first screening. This activity takes many time but is vital to focus only on the candidates profiles that deserve our deep analysis and time for the interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumeesse has some good functionality and when compared to other ATS platforms seems to have alot more partnerships and integrations in place than many other platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? The reason we moved away from Lumesse was primarily around system down time - there were occasionally (very occasionally, but that was enough!) when the system went down for a whole working day. The other issue was that the company was grown by acquisition so they seemed to have several code bases on the go rather than building out one cohesive platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? Lumesse was a big step forward compared to the very basic ATS we had in place previously and as such I don't want to seem to negative because there were some positive around the system in terms of dealing the high volume hiring we were doing.

Strengths: Multi-tenancy gives flexibility in multi-country or divisional structure where hierarchical relationships are required or separation of data is imperative. Strong language support for multi-country deployments Workable professional services groups that work across the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? UI isn't great, lacks many features that more modern ATS's have such as offer letter modules, sophisticated approval routing, advanced database search features and others. In many ways, it's a classic "old line" ATS that hasn't seen enough development in the last 5 years and has been surpassed by other systems with global ambitions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? Applicant tracking. Multi-country has been good, but not strong enough for single-country solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Associate Recruiter Marketing and Advertising Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/16/2014 "We use it as little as possible." 0/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Talentlink? Lumesse TalentLink's best feature is the ability to customize on an individual basis. My dashboard can include whichever parameters I find most useful, and my colleagues can have their own unique layouts as well. I like being able to tailor my homepage and add/remove apps and categories as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Talentlink? Where to begin... This ATS was mandated to us by our parent company and we couldn't be more disappointed. The only time we use TalentLink is for posting to our company website, but even that is a hassle because it is time consuming to comb through the resumes we receive within the platform. There are so many clicks involved to actually view each candidate's resume and then change their application status that it becomes a frustrating and annoying process. Another problem is that the functions are inconsistent. When my company rolled out this new software we were told that the system was a result of 2 previous iterations merging together, thus on one page you may be able to scroll down but on the other you must click a down arrow. It is also necessary to enter the same information in numerous times from one page to another. The details will only sometimes carry over. If I have a requisition in Chicago, not only will it refrain from auto-populating the obvious information to follow (this position is located in the Illinois, this position is located in the United States) but you will also have to re-enter this information on the actual job advertisement page, which is a separate entity. Speaking of which, updates made to a posting must be manually entered into both the "advertisement" as well as the "requisition" page. Why am I doubling my efforts here? There are far too many clicks and steps necessary to accomplish a simple task. We dislike this system so much that we designed our own ATS in SharePoint so we wouldn't have to use it any more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Talentlink: Please consider another ATS, this one is not worth the frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Talentlink solving and how is that benefiting you? Ideally, this system would provide a central location to store candidate information, track the recruitment process, and report on the data. The reporting function is particularly pathetic, as any attempt we've made to pull reports has resulted in a useless image of a graph. It would be great to have more granular information that could be exported to Excel. Perhaps this feature is somehow available, but the system is not at all user-friendly, so we have not yet discovered any such option. To put this into perspective, I am a tech savvy person who has never had trouble figuring out how to perform these types of actions in other ATS's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
