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!
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
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.
