"Unified Talent a complete business solution in HR management."

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

One ecosystem that ties together Record, Perform, Applicant Tracking, Profession Development and many more HR resources into eFinancePlus. Seamless API integration with the core system. On-demand support and ease of adding new quantifiable data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

The system as a whole is a robust system. Without each module, the real value of the Unified Talent Suite does not give you most for your money. Having all the modules really makes a big difference in your day-to-day HR management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Unified Talent solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves a large amount of HR daily management issues. First, it takes care of seamlessly posting and tracking job openings. Applicants can apply and manage everything in one area, while HR can view the applicants and process interview times right from within the system. Records keep new and current employees up to date on paperwork that is required and gives a historical look at those records for both employees and HR personnel. Perform allows the streamlining of annual reviews to be done electronically and quantifies the reviews year over year for HR to easily review. Finally, we have the professional development portion, which allows the HR team to assign trainings required by the company and can be assigned by subcategories to refine the types of trainings offered.

"PowerSchool Unified Talent is a great tool for school districts and potential hires."

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

I love that Unified Talent has one central log-in screen that I can use to get to several different pieces of PowerSchool, depending on what needs I have that day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

My district has used PowerSchool for a few years, and the one thing that I struggled with when we first incorporated Unified Talent was navigating the different areas. The layout is really different and harder to understand. My district already uses PowerTeacher and PowerSource and I love those. It took me a while to learn Unified Talent, but I love it now!

What problems is PowerSchool Unified Talent solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have had a hard time keeping annual evaluations organized. Unified Talent allows all teachers and administrators to easily access and submit their evaluation information so that our Human Resources department can send out contracts each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

The thing that I like best about PowerSchool is the ease of use. It requires little training in advance. All of the tools can pretty easily be figured out with just a little hands on experience and trial and error. Nothing is too difficult to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not really found anything that I do not like about PowerSchool. I have been working with PowerSchool for the last 7-8 years of teaching and so far I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not sure of the cost of the system because I have not purchased it myself but merely used the system but if you are considering it, go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Unified Talent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our school system has been using PowerSchool for a while now and we have been able to record and document data over the course of the years. Everything is easily viewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's okay"

3.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

It gets the job done. It shows the rubric for items that need attention and sends email reminders or notifications for signatures. But honestly, other platforms do the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Unified Talent?

It could be more user-friendly with its interface. I do not particularly like how I can move my pointer to type into a particular form, and it'll accidentally pop-out the side menu. This action happens so much and is annoying. It's also confusing when being in a form and trying to navigate back to the main page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
