We are a boutique executive search firm, and our work begins where CVs end – in understanding a person, a role and a context. We used to lose hours to data entry. The team now spends those hours with people.

A search project here runs to hundreds of profiles. Sourcing through the Talent Graph brings them in without anyone typing them, and one search covers both the newly sourced people and the network we already hold. The search is AI-assisted, which in practice means we describe the profile and it sets the search fields.

We came from FileFinder. From day one we did not miss it. Talentis integrates with Outlook as FileFinder did. Search and reporting is much faster.

Assignments and campaigns hold the candidate work together, and the dated to-dos are where each working day starts. The same structure carries the contact that continues long after a placement. Every reminder puts the person's context one click away, so a call picks up where the previous one ended instead of searching first and starting over.

The defined stages make the state of a search visible at any moment. That has changed our client updates more than we expected.

The interface is intuitive and not overloaded. We had an onboarding session at the start, every function has a short video a click away, and the support line answers quickly when neither is enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Talentis is under active development, and we would rather have that than a product standing still. What we miss is the clear roadmap. We do not know e.g. when advanced search and the extended mail functions are due, so we cannot plan around them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy Talentis because of its ease of getting information into the system and then the incredible searching and sorting it can do - The search function is so powerful - I am finding talent I could not find before! I work in search mostly retained but some contingency and it works for both. I love the reporting function for getting info out to prepare for my clients and the functional Outlook plugin. It is not the cheapest but it also does a lot more than more expensive platforms. I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am looking forward to them letting me import my own spreadsheets and CSV files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Talentis is very intuitive, easy to use and has a healthy balance between functionality and simplicity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing and the few items I wished it had have been brought in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its clearly been designed by people who actually get the search process, its practical and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, nothing, other than the process of learning a new system, but that downside is easily balanced out by the quality of the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we implemented Talentis a few years back, the speed at which it has developed has been remarkable. Today, it’s the software that holds our entire executive search business together. We use it for everything – candidate sourcing, centralized relationship management, pipeline visibility, candidate lifecycle tracking, business development, reporting and so on. It’s a full executive search CRM. I also have to say the service is really good too – the support team is really responsive and are committed to helping us get the most out of it. I’m very happy to recommend Talentis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little.

It could perhaps use more KPI reporting, although they just updated this functionality and so it’s much better than it was! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having recently migrated from FileFinder to Talentis, our team has experienced a significant uplift in productivity and user satisfaction. Talentis has proven to be a modern, intuitive, and highly efficient platform that far surpasses its predecessor in both functionality and user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) The password reset on the client portal, when providing clients with a client portal link is cumbersome and glitchy. 2) Not showing bio's in the client portal adds an unnecessary layer of admin - having to copy the bio into commentary. 3) needing to refresh the browswer when adding people to Talentis from LinkedIn from a RecruiterLite search, when you move through profiles one has to then refresh the browser to update the Talentis plug-in.

We have migrated from another Executive Search CRM we had been using for many years. Talentis has dramatically increased productivity; it has replaced the need for data entry almost completely (it's reduced it by 90%)

1. Pipeline & Project Management

Talentis has centralised our relationship management tools. It has helped us to

• Manage each Executive Search like a project — with visible candidate stages, team input, and status tracking.

• Gives pipeline viability for all candidate, showing how candidates through stages (e.g., Longlist → Shortlist → Client Interviews → Offer → Placement).

2. Candidate Relationship Tracking

We can track all candidates' professional experience, notes, touchpoints, profiles and past opportunities —It’s a true executive search CRM. Everyone in our organisation can easily

• Create notes, call logs, utilise the email integration (wow!) and upload document attachments

• Track candidate status across multiple projects

3. Client Interaction & Collaboration

• The client portal is brilliant, as are the dashboards, reporting tools and customised reporting which is benefiting both clients and consultants.

4. Search History, Intelligence, and Candidate Reusability

It remembers every candidate we’ve met, rejected or placed — and makes them easy to find for future searches. The data is structured for long-term talent pool management

5. Office 365 Integration

• The automatic capture of communication through the Outlook & Word/ integrations is so impactful.

6. Reporting & KPI Tracking

Talentis easily generates reports on project progress, candidate pipelines, and team productivity. The client portal is also a feature worth noting.

7. User Experience for Team Collaboration

It works seamlessly for research, consultants, and partners — a truly centralised relationship management system.

• Multiple team members can easily collaborate on search assignments and see how the assignment is progressing. Information and intelligence can be seen and shared in a way we weren't able to do before now.

8. Data capture

This has been a true game changer - we no longer have to manually input data (work history, education etc) - it is generated and captured instantly by Talentis.

The team behind Talentis we fantastic during the migration process and onboarding and continue to be incredibly responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing we've disliked so far about Talentis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After 11 years on another leading CRM, my executive search firm has made the leap to Talentis. The transition & data migration were handled seamlessly by the team at Ikiru and the new software is simply outstanding. Tasks that used to take minutes now take seconds thanks to the incorporation of AI and very effective LinkedIn integration. I highly recommend that any other search firm looking for the latest and greatest in CRM technology take the leap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I inherently dislike about Talentis. However, it is a relatively new product - so there are still features being added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a pleasure to use - supporting everything from candidate sourcing and assignment management to export functions and team coordination. I’d highly recommend it to any executive search firm that values simplicity, speed, and a CRM designed around the user Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Talentis is fast and simple, but in some cases it lacks advanced features that would be nice to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
