  ### 4. Definitely a customer-centric company!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Osmair F. | HR Business Partner - Talent Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2021

**What do you like best about TalentQuest?**

I advocated for TalentQuest for my company as its first Talent Management Platform, and I bet it would be a major benefit to our company, and it has been. It's a major challenge of mine since I found TalentQuest at a conference, advocate on their behalf to my boss, and executed the roll-out and got most staff on-board with it as a concept. As a web-based solution, TalentQuest was easy to deploy and allowed a high degree of customization. The user friendly and intuitive worflow was critical for our organization. So, I like most things about TalentQuest. It's intuitive for users and administrators alike. The setup was somehow easy, with hands-on client success team (it is not only the name, they really work for our success)  and a good information center. TalentQuest provided flexible process, attention to details, dedicated implementation team extremely capable and willing to know about our business needs. I like how you can submit software suggestions to client success and they really take your feedback into consideration, and new features get rolled out constantly. It's definitely a great place to keep all talent management pieces in one place and make HR more efficient, and it's a super dynamic tool.

**What do you dislike about TalentQuest?**

I've been working with TQ for the past year and so far, honestly, there's nothing I don't like about, from the software to the implementations and client success team (Yes, they are amazing!). When we first got it, I would say that I had a concern about payroll integration, but they worked all the way to make the integration with Paylocity just great!

**What problems is TalentQuest solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are implementing their entire platform and they were able to make many customizations to make it better for our needs. It'll fit into any company's budget, and I promise, your employees will enjoy it just as much as your HR team does. Know how hands-on you'll want support to be. We're mostly self-sufficient with our software tools, but it is good to know that TalentQuest teams work for us. If you are like that or have some really non-tech-savvy people who need a lot of hand-holding, they will be there for you.

**Official Response from TalentQuest:**

> Thank you for your kind words Osmair.  Comments like yours is what energizes us and fuels innovation at TalentQuest.

  ### 5. TalentQuest meets all of our needs for Talent and Learning Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2021

**What do you like best about TalentQuest?**

The most important factor for us in choosing our Talent Management system was that we had a combined tool for performance, goal-setting and learning opportunities with robust reporting capabilities. Employees like being able to access multiple resources all in one tool such as their tasks, their performance journal and their learning transcript. Managers have access to reporting and can easily assign learning to their teams. We have a variety of course catalogs that allow employees to self-enroll in content. We have worked with our stakeholders to build out our internal content in the form of eLearning, videos or recorded webinars and build in assessments. There are a variety of course completion settings that help us manage when users have watched content and have successfully passed the assessments. We leveraged TalentQuest to enroll over 900 employees in break-out sessions for a virtual event, and it worked amazing for that! Our team is excited about launching the Badging feature in the near future.

**What do you dislike about TalentQuest?**

There are a few minor issues when formatting text within a course - the system is very sensitive in making sure your cursor is exactly where it needs to be. Also, there is some duplication when we import historical data, and the same course is then reassigned from a Learning Plan. We can individually manage these items, but wish the system recognized the historical import and matched it with newly assigned content (this occurred during the migration.)  Occasionally we experience lag time, but most often that occurs when we launch a corporate wide eLearning initiative to our 3,500 employees.

**Recommendations to others considering TalentQuest:**

TalentQuest is both user friendly and administrator friendly and meets our needs for tracking both internal training, external training, performance reviews, and goal setting.

**What problems is TalentQuest solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having launched TalentQuest in 2019 we are able to provide employees with the instructions on how to access many external manufacturer training. We provide the course detail along with a detailed registration process. We are able to track external training in TalentQuest using this process without having to be dependent on manufacturer provided data. (i.e. Cisco, Microsoft or Poly) This eliminates employees for having to ask the L&D team how to enroll and puts accountability on the employee to submit their certificates and mark items as complete. Additionally, we have launched well over 100 internally developed eLearning content and over 100 recorded training webinars, so employees are able to watch these if unable to attend the live events.  We use the reporting tool to ensure employees have completed important initiatives such as COVID Return to Work Policy, Harassment or Cyber Security and other compliance titles. We have also created on-boarding checklists to ensure new hires are accessing the necessary content to set them up for success. We also use the Learning Plan features to automatically assign courses by job title, region or other defined data.

**Official Response from TalentQuest:**

> Thanks you for your kind feedback.  It's always great to hear from our clients.

  ### 7. The TalentQuest Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** CiCi J. | Ap/AR Data Entry Specialist at YaYa Enterprises LLC - Client Agile Plumbing , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2021

**What do you like best about TalentQuest?**

First off the TQ software is super user friendly. I love how the choosing of a solid candidate Is based upon the clients needs. TQ has really helped in our journey.

**What do you dislike about TalentQuest?**

The biggest benefit is finding the right candidate suitable for the job. The super neat thing about TQ is that you can measure a candidates output, whether their performance has increased, decreased or stayed about the same.

> We are thrilled our tools have helped in your journey.

  ### 8. Review of Talent Quest

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Building Materials | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2021

**What do you like best about TalentQuest?**

System is easy to navigate through for appraisals and merit information.

**What do you dislike about TalentQuest?**

System can't really accommodate employees with multiple supervisors.  "Co-Rater" function doesn't serve as a dual-supervisor role.  With our matrixed organization, it makes tasks challenging or manual work arounds have to be created.

**What problems is TalentQuest solving and how is that benefiting you?**

TalentQuest serves as a uniform platform that helps create common language in the company around employees' level of performance.  It's a great system that gives employees, supervisors, and HR access to appraisals and goals.

**Official Response from TalentQuest:**

> Thanks for your comment.  Ease of use is key!  Glad to hear you're finding the appraisal process easy to navigate.

TalentQuest is easy to use, has a set of tools that allow you to manage the entire talent lifecycle, from recruiting and behavioral assessments to performance and learning, including effective employee retention planning and solutions.

It's a great application, the fact that it has many uses makes it perfect and powerful for any growing company looking for great talent.

TalentQuest is a comprehensive talent management software that helps you achieve better results through your workforce. It helps reduce all applicants and select those with the necessary skills for the job all in different approaches.  It has a set of retention solutions that allows you to identify what you are at risk of leaving and what you can do to keep this valuable person in the work environment, and make sure it is profitable for the organization.

**What problems is TalentQuest solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has been of great benefit to ensure that the fluid flow of work processes is maintained and that the great talents remain in the company for much longer, where employee productivity can be improved when they have clear objectives and expectations, thanks to the objectives and performance modules offered by this tool. When the time comes for employee reviews, you can see the production or decrease and that helps to know where you need motivation or help in employees.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2019

**What do you like best about TalentQuest?**

The implementation process was very bumpy, but the implementation team was incredibly helpful. They bent over backwards to find solutions for us that were honestly a little unfair to ask for.

**What do you dislike about TalentQuest?**

The software is very limited in customization. There were many features that we were promised up front that were still very far off on the product roadmap. This didn't become clear until implementation was at a point of no return.

**Recommendations to others considering TalentQuest:**

Be sure that all of your requirements are available from day one. If you're not 100% clear with what you need upfront, it becomes very hard to get it later on.
