Eightfold AI vs. Phenom Talent Experience Management (TXM) Platform

Looking at Eightfold from a holistic approach, it is an essential tool for a fast growing company (ideally Mid-Market to Enterprise) to utilize this technology. By having access and the ability to search for previous applicants or candidates through our pre-existing pool, is a game-changer. As a company continues to grow, one will need to think of different avenues to find your next batch of employees - why not start with a group that has already engaged with your brand in the past.

Phenom TXM provides an easy-to-use, well-flowing landing page to front our ATS (SmartRecruiters). It integrates well with SR and enables potential candidates to view our open roles across multiple locations, job types, and skill levels. It allows them to sign up to receive notifications based on their preferred criteria, and they can also save job listings they're interested in. Once set up, ideally, it works well. Any edits required are slow and costly - engaging with representatives from Phenom and resolving queries is time-consuming and usually requires multiple follow-ups. Because Phenom centrally controls the site, we're unable to make even small edits quickly.

• Reporting- not all accounts are set up to run reports, however, I feel like this should be standard across all users.
• Integration with other VMS-based systems- right now it only works for 1 type of system, so we are left to manually publish all open roles.
• Centralized candidate tab, where you can filter and search for candidates based on a variety of filters.

• Reports turnaround times could be improved
• Can't change candidates statuses in bulk
• Slow customer service turnaround at times

It is good but needs improvements.

Candidate usability is fairly straightforward and the platform is easy to engage with. There are multiple ways to search and filter roles, including status, location (including city/individual location, as well as DC/Store/Head Office, etc.), role type, and department. Usability from a website management perspective is lacking due to the centrality of control over the content.

We found that Eightfold [AI] offered greater functionality than other vendors and their partnership with SuccessFactors ensured our ATS integration would go smoothly. Eightfold offers CRM capabilities, AI matching, marketing campaigns, and a careers page landing site. The breadth of services offered is what ultimately made the selection an easy one for us.

When comparing Phenom Talent Experience Management to Avature CRM: Avature aims very high, and sometimes gets lost in its own grandness. Phenom Talent Experience Management tends to be more user-friendly and accessible, with some more down to Earth features and functionalities. On the other hand, Avature allows for managing candidates in bulk, which is not an option for Phenom Talent Experience Management. When comparing Phenom Talent Experience Management to SmartRecruiters: the choice for Phenom Talent Experience Management was made once the decision had been made on investing on EB campaigns and building a talent community, as Phenom Talent Experience Management's capabilities are much better and broader.

• Reports could benefit from some TLC, data integrity has been a concern
