Chose Eightfold
Eightfold [AI] does a much better job at matching talent to new positions and provides a match score which the Salesforce program I used at a staffing agency did not do. Eightfold AI doesn't have an applicant tracking system, which I would like to see in the future.
Chose Eightfold
Workday has many more candidates and user capabilities, such as housing all candidate information and utilizing it as a company portal.
Chose Eightfold
Eightfold [AI] is comparable to BullHorn. However, some features are missing. Bullhorn allows me to search the entire candidate pool by using filters to help identify other viable matches. From that screen, I am able to mass mail, create datasheets, and other tools for …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Cons
  • 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.
