Fuel50 Reviews & Product Details

I have a career consulting business, and I have found Fuel50 an invaluable tool for helping people recognize their inherent talents and abilities, their career drivers, and their deeply held values. It's an easy, user-friendly tool that people engage with quickly and relate to well. It expedites the career coaching process, enabling people to gain useful insights in a much-reduced period of time. I highly recommend Fuel50. It's engaging for people to use and the reports are insightful, making the career coaching process clearer and expediting understanding for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the talents and skills tool the least valuable one. I'm not sure how that could be improved, but that is the one that I get the least value from with people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fuel50 is a fantastic career development platform that truly helps individuals understand their strengths and translate them into meaningful career growth opportunities. It makes it easy to identify the skills you both excel at and genuinely enjoy, then connects those insights to potential lateral moves, stretch assignments, or future career paths within your organization.

What I love most is how it encourages real conversations — not just self-assessment. It helps you identify people within your company to connect with, so you can learn firsthand about their roles, challenges, and what it takes to be successful in them.

The platform produces easy-to-read reports that you can share and discuss with your supervisor, making it much simpler to align on career development goals, learning priorities, and projects that showcase your transferable skills across departments.

Fuel50 turns career conversations into actionable plans and opens up visibility into opportunities that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. It’s an invaluable tool for anyone serious about career growth, internal mobility, and creating a culture of continuous development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, there is only a one-way API from our HRIS system. I would prefer if the output could be automatically integrated into each employee's record, especially for mandatory performance reviews and development plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Fuel50 is how it personalises career development. It’s like having a friendly guide showing you potential career paths and the skills you need to get there. It aligns personal goals with company needs, making employees feel valued while helping businesses grow a motivated workforce.

The platform encourages proactive skill-building. For leaders, it provides valuable insights into employee interests and skill gaps, making it easier to make informed decisions about training and mentorship.

Overall, Fuel50 fosters a culture of continuous growth, helping retain top talent by nurturing their potential and driving performance. It’s all about creating a win-win scenario for both employees and organisations.

The F50 team were great during implenentation, keeping us informed all the way. Regular meetings meant that both parties knew exactly where they were.

The custom support team is very good. Easy to contact and quick to reply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I dislike about Fuel50 is the navigation. It often feels like there are too many clicks required to get to where you want to go. The path to finding specific features or information isn’t always clear, making it sometimes frustrating to use. Simplifying the user journey would significantly enhance the overall experience.

For example, to review one of my skills, from the home page, it's Personalise (tab) > Personalize (button) > scroll half way down and click a tiny "Review" link. If you don't know what you're doinf, finding this would be pretty difficult. As the platform is aimed at user skill review, this should be front and center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The engagement tools - the profile and session notes tools - have a lot of potential for managers who take advantage of them. The way I explain it is that this is your opportunity to tell your manager what's important to you and what you're looking for from your career, and I've heard from managers who get a lot out of looking at employees' values, motivators, etc. It's a little intimidating for some employees at first, but once they start using it, very few have issues. It's easy to navigate and pretty intuitive, so even for our tech-averse population it's a viable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of down chain visiblity and reporting limitations are a major issue. We a) have a good number of dotted line reporting situations where relevant managers don't have coaching tools available for employees, and b) have a managerial culture that wants to be able to see profiles and data down multiple levels. We've developed some internal reporting to address some of that, but it was a months long process of back and forth with Fuel50 support to get the data and access we needed to create our own reports.

I love Fuel50's approach to their user experience, they put the employee at the centre of their design and this makes it simple to use. Implementing this product, syncing it to our workforce architecture has been easy to do because of their in-house experts. Fuel50's after sales service have been easy to work with. We have well over 70% of employees returning to the product, showing the value they find with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though the integration with our our primary employee database was done, they can do better with API integration for reporting purposes. We are currently relying on SFTP protocols which is not the most effective or secure approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform offers a great mentoring module, a talent market place, career assessement tools but also personalized career parthways... It is unique to have access to all these functions in one place. The UX is far better than other platforms we have. 80% of our users are coming back after a first visit.

The quality of dfata in the organisation is an important requirement. The mentoring module cannot be segmented as we wish. The platform needs to innovate now by integrating CV review module or AI coaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fuel50 enables companies to become skills-based organisation. Its capability to apply skills logic across all its modules is hugely beneficial and helps link opportunities to interests. The platofrm is "always-on" so that colleagues can use it whenever it works for them. As a partner Fuel50 are very accomodating, collaborative and engaging throughout the contract.

The initital product was very innovative but since then any new initiatives they have pursued have lacked that innovative spark. Also in terms of metrics and MI the platform is basic in terms of reporting and the insights they provide dont always hit the mark in terms of business needs and custom builds.

Attractiveness of solution, it seems to easy to use and offers exciting career development for employeees, enabling people leaders to support growth, and insightful data for the organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have still not launched, so hard to say yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The focus on individual development coupled with an oppportunity for employees to give and receive competency-specific feedback really allows our employees to engage with this platform in a meaningful way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The challenge that we faced was with creating more specific competencies for our workforce. The organizational design team was terrific to work with, but in order to grow broad company engagement, we need to be able to define the specifics for our technical workforce.

Pretty good user interface - intuitive and flash looking. I also really like the quizzes about values and work style - they were detailed enough that you don't feel you're getting a generic vague answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Goals features don't really work well for an organisation which has review periods i.e. Calendar Year. Have to copy and paste the whole goal and sub goals over. If had duplication function would make this easier. Also can't view goals set in one year easily - not straightforward, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
