TalentComp Reviews

The team behind the software really make this a win for me. Version 1 met our needs, and V2 comes out and blows off our socks, then it has a few tweaks needed and the team hops to it. Love the customer service and tool flexibility to our needs.

It would be handy to have a more influential role from CWS- I am coming to you with my problems, asks, requests, and your team is incredibly helpful and responding.It is like a white water ride, where everything is fast and I glance a tree as we go along, and there is a rock over there, but don't look too long because here comes the rapids again. It would be great to have a 'meta' review of what features are not being used, and how they could simplify or improve. We did not use 'preferred currency' and it would have been the right thing to do, but I didn't ask and it went by so quick I never really saw it or appreciated it. If someone at CWS did a performance audit to show how it can be even better, that would be well received.

Thank you for the review! We're thrilled to hear that you like the latest version of TalentComp and that our dedication to customer service has been helpful to you. We totally get that the number of features in TalentComp can be rather daunting. Our implementation approach is to configure TalentComp to your specific needs rather than dump a list of hundreds of features for you to sift through and choose from. Just ask us if a feature exists and we think you'll find the answer is YES! Of course, we're happy to reach out to schedule a performance audit. As for preferred currency, it's always on. We just defaulted your manager's view to CAD and hid the menu item for users to change it. We can turn the menu back on anytime.

Software is extremely flexible, support team is top notch and is available around the clock.

As with any software, there can be limitations of functionality, even with development work.

Easy to use, very customizable based on your business needs.

The annual process is a bit cumbersome to relaunch the tool.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We're happy to hear that TalentComp is working well for you and your managers. We have a new release coming out in Spring 2021 with our new QuickStart admin self-service interface to make the process of re-launching each cycle extremely easy.

We use paPlus to administer all Review Forms and TalentComp to apply all Merit Increases each year. After initial startup and with annual enhancements, this product now serves us very well in both of those areas.

Integration with existing business processes was not difficult. Administration of TalentComp is somewhat non-intuitive, but Admins can eventually find their way around without issue.

We had a short time line to set up the system (made purchase decision in early October and ran merit/bonus/equity process in early December). Team was great to work with and VERY responsive to all our calls, questions and needs. There were bumps, yes, but that was to be expected. We did a deep dive into the issues right after we closed the process and were able to address all the issues in the next year's cycle. I would recommend for any company based on my experience.

The one thing that users have not liked is that the scrolling ability is slow. Executives don't like it for roll up purposes so we as an HR team have had to export to spreadsheets and track the changes made by executives and update the system. Still so much better than when we were functioning in spreadsheets only with 60+ managers and having to consolidate, etc.

Easy to design 100% customizable to our organization Very user-friendly so business implementation way easy Streamlined our year-end process and cut our admin time in half Unity suite brought us from paper forms to all digital approvals and record retention

I do wish that the reporting was more customizable so that you can "build" a custom report I would like to see a job description repository module added

There are so many things that made the transition to TalentComp the best solution for our Salary Admin process, one of the top reasons is the ability to have managers route their recommendations through the hierarchy and have an audit trail. In our legacy process, we had an excel spreadsheet for each department, we have 32 departments and had to route and track changes for 32 spreadsheets! It was madness!...

Honestly, there was nothing that we did not like about the software!

Simple to implement and easy to use. Our management team was very impressed with the system and support.

Would like to have comp mgmt. system available all year. System basically reset itself and the end of the process.

Ability to automate the submission and approval process for merit increases company-wide. Data rolls up to various levels of management giving the ability to track averages against company budget. Export files feed into the Payroll system. Customizable cycle dates allow management of timeframes associated with the merit process.

Need to click out of a field before a calculation/update happens to the data is sometimes confusing for users.

The customization of this software was really the selling point for me as it has so much flexibility and we could make this into something that was 100% what we were looking for

I dont think there is any challenge we came across that couldnt be resolved

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with TalentComp and look forward to continuing to work closely together as you needs evolve.

What I love most is how much we can customize in the tool. The team always has a way to deliver on what we've asked for. Additionally, the customer service is fantastic. Our dedicated support is always so quick to respond and implement, and is always asking the right questions.

As a technology and design driven company, the tool isn't the "prettiest" and we sometimes receive feedback from our employees.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We are thrilled that you are happy with TalentComp's configurability and our support team. A new, "prettier" user interface is in the works for 2021 that we hope will please your managers.

Having direct access to the programmer is invaluable and so efficient.

Some added reporting functionality intended for those who audit and then reports for those who review (Leadership, Finance).

Good functionality. Very user friendly with a professional but simply look at each screen. Very user friendly. Price is at market.

I do not see major cons. If I had a wish list, would like to see additional features such as long-term I-comp tracking.

We implemented both a performance management system (Noteworthy) and a compensation management system (TalentComp) so we could move from paper documents to an online system. The tools were very customizable so that the logic and flow from our old systems were incorporated into the new ones, giving us a high adoption rate and positive user feedback.

As our organization grows, we will want to do more compensation modeling. At this time, I believe modeling and scenario planning is still being optimized within TalentComp.

-Works like an Excel spreadsheet on steroids -The platform is easily accessed through the web (available to as many stakeholders as needed) -Configuration is flexible -Can produce statements from the platform -Can enter comments at appropriate places and can easily structure the data -Can make changes to the level of security

more difficult to incorporate complex equations or operators (i.e. if, and, or, etc.)

Thanks for the positive review! We can definitely help with the automated SFTP data feed whenever you are ready.

Ease of use for HR as well as for line management. Quick implementation.

Nothing.

The software is fully customizable and our implementation specialist was great. She was able to add whatever fields we needed quickly.

I would like to be able to print compensation letters in Word format.

The ability to make customizations as needed

A feature or two may be unavailable but there is usually a work around
