Talos ATS Reviews

Talos is probably the easiest and most efficient recruitment software I've used in my HR career. I worked on the implementation team to bring this into the business, as well as rolling it out to our line managers and the biggest thing that people like is the ease of use.

After using the software for just over a year, there isn't really anything I dislike or would change about it at this stage.

Posting of adverts is a streamlined function that I use daily. I post the same job in multiple locations and free jobs boards and this is quick and easy to do. I can search for candidates by name and it takes me to all jobs they have applied for.

I don't have an cons with the system, it does exactly what I need it too!

I recently joined Haulfryn where Talos was in place. The account support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team has been great. I've looked to make a number of changes to how we use the system that have all been accommodated.

There are a few aspects that it would be improved if we were able to make more changes to the systems directly ourselves, that said the team have been really helpful and quick to make changes needed.

Thank you very much for your review and we are pleased that you are enjoying working with Talos and the Support Teams. I will ensure they receive your lovely feedback.

Helps to build a talent pool. Advertising package with the Talos system was very beneficial to us. Customer support is very strong.

doesnt highlight when people have applied previously.

It is a relatively straightforward ATS and when used frequently can be navigated fairly easily

The Video link can cause technical issues and always feel that there needs to be a Plan B, i.e. Teams and it would be great if this could be linked to Outlook / Teams invitations. Interviewer cant put on backgrounds. We do appreciate that there is more functionality than we currently use. This is our fault. I also appreciate that there are How To Videos but a straightforward paper How To Guide, i..e PDF would be more helpful as you have to watch the video and then take notes! In the end, the video seems too time consuming and you don't watch it and this isn't great. A manual would also be good for first time users!

Hi Alison, Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you are finding Talos ATS easy to use and that it has assisted you in streamlining your recruitment process. We will continue to support you to ensure you are able to fully utilise Talos ATS and I am pleased that you now have downloaded a copy of the user guide from our help section. Thank you for your suggestions for improving the Video Interviewing feature. One of our support Heroes will be in touch to discuss this feature and how we can enhance your experience.

360 has made recruitment easy and effective. The team have always been incredibly helpful and quick with their responses, can make good recommendations, come up with solutions and provide in depth training. The system can be built to suit all sorts of needs and the reporting is excellent. The search by candidate tool is very helpful and the email templates make posting/notifying an applicant so quick.

Only thing i can think of is the lack of being able to have an email notification for when a data capture is completed.

Thank you so much for the lovely review and I really like your review title!! Really pleased you're enjoying using the reporting features and the email templates. I'll pass your comments on to our development team as they'll be delighted.

The customer service and continuous support from Talos is brilliant. If you want to make any changes to progression stages, application forms, scorecards then you can quickly ask via live chat. The software is continuously developing and they listen to feedback from clients. I like how customisable all the progression stages are and that you can continue to make changes to the platform

The integration was difficult and took a while to get set up

Thank you for your Review! We are pleased to hear that you find our Customer Service and Support great, and that you are enjoying many of the features including the scorecards and progression stages. Please keep your ideas coming as we are continuously developing new features.

Very user friendly, easy to navigate round and uncomplicated functionality. Has automated the labour intensive parts of the application process and provided a great central location to store candidates for current roles and made them easy to find for future positions.

It is quite basic - which could also be a pro in many cases. We have had to request a number of additional features be added which we would expect to be basic functions e.g. putting an expiry date on adverts going on to our own website. The interview arranging function doesn't sync with outlook calendars so I have found it much quicker and easier to do this outside of the system.

User friendly- lots of features available to make recruitment easier.

some times it takes a while to find what you are looking for.

Thank you so much for your review! We are glad that Talos is making recruitment easier for you & that you are enjoying great customer service! I will ensure your feedback is shared with our teams.

Talos is easy to integrate, and the build was flexible as the team allowed us to customise the system around our processes, but also when suggesting features that didn't exist, these were designed and implemented. In theory, no ATS system has everything on your wish list - but you're onto a winner with Talos as the team are open to new ideas to improve the product.

It would be good to get an app built for the system, so you can access candidates on the go - really key for operational hiring managers!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are delighted that you have found us easy to work with and to integrate into your organisation. I will ensure your feedback is shared with our teams especially your kind words about us all being great characters! Please keep your great ideas coming as we love to keep adding new features to Talos!

I love the simplicity of this system but best of all the implementation was seamless and the ongoing support is second to none.

Was a little difficult to integrate into our HR system initially.

Thank you for your review! I am glad that you found the implementation seamless and that you are enjoying the simplicity of Talos and the excellent Customer Service. I will ensure your feedback is shared with our fabulous Account Management and Talos teams.

User friendly software that enables you to tailor your communications for recruitment purposes.

Not able to use Indeed for external recruitment Video screening and interviews can fall over or be difficult for candidates to access.

Hi Lucy, Thank you so much for your review and kind words, it means a lot to us. We are delighted that you find Talos easy to use and that it has saved you time. We are sorry that you are unable to utilise our free feed for Organic Indeed job listings for external roles. Unfortunately only roles recruited for the employer are able to be listed to Indeed organically, however the good news is you can sponsor these roles and our advertising support team would be happy to support. One of our support heroes will reach out to you to discuss Video Interviewing to understand how we can improve your experience.

The system is great for keeping all applications stored in one place, for set time frames, ensuring that our recruitment process remains GDPR compliant.

We advertise on a couple of job boards that can't be posted to via the system, however we can manually add any applications received directly and therefore still manage to store the applications in the system.

Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you like the simplicity of all of your candidates in one place and the security Talos brings by being GDPR compliant. I will ask your AM to show you a possible alternative to manually uploading candidates to Talos.

Talos ATS is super easy to use and does exactly what I need it to do. Makes dealing with a high volume of applications stress free.

There isn't anything I would change or do not like.

Has helped support a more targeted sourcing strategy, whilst simplifying and streamlining our recruitment administration process. In addition we are able to ensure we are complying with our GDPR responsibilities.

Unable to tweak an advert once posted - can do this via the support team

Thank you for your Review! It's lovely to hear that you find Talos easy to use and that it has supported your strategy for more targeted sourcing along with streamlining your recruitment process. We are also pleased that Talos helps you to remain GDPR compliant. I will ensure to pass your lovely comments to our Talos Support Team who project managed the configuration and implementation of Talos, they will be delighted.

Talos is an incredibly easy system to use and navigate. You can see the candidate journey from start to finish, you can search for roles or applicants and you can see exactly where they are in the process.

The only issue is that when using the video call there is no option currently to blur the background, but I know they are working on it

The system was very easy to implement. It's so easy to use and has improved our Hiring Manager & Candidate experience.

Nothing other than we didn't implement it sooner...

The software has helped formalise the recruitment process and ensure we have complete visibility of all roles that are currently being recruited in the business. The system has also reduced our administration time allowing for more proactive recruitment.

No negatives to report at this point - really happy with the system.

The system is easy to use and navigate through. Support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] with regards to talking us through the system was really beneficial and the support in general regarding posting roles is very much appreciated. In time we would like to utilise the reporting side a little more however we know we can go to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] should we need to.

N/A at the moment.

Thank you for your Review! We are pleased to hear that you find Talos easy to use and that your Account Manager is helpful and supportive. Please dont hesitate to reach out when you are ready to explore the Reporting more, we will be happy to provide training and suggestions.

Talos streamlined our recruitment process with ease, allowing the relevant hiring managers to see all applications in one place and allowed decision making to become smoother, faster and more compliant.

'Reject and Talent Pool'- should be a separate option for Talent Pool; its not always necessary to reject them first.

Really easy to use the system and clearly set out. Had the system for just under 1 year now and had a couple of updates improving the system, which is great.

There are no real negatives spring to mind. It sometimes takes a little while for CVs to show up when they have been sent by a candidate, it is not instant.

It's easy to use and the support from the internal team is phenomenal.

At the moment, not much- everything is smooth.

Talos has helped us better manage the candidate journey with ease of use and some useful features including Video screening and Video interviewing.

Having more admin capability to add users, manage email templates and job templates to avoid the wait on Talos support to complete.

Easy to navigate around for all information. Setting up reports is really useful.

When there are system issues the Dev team / 360 are unresponsive to sorting anything out, other than saying the problem cannot be replicated by them.

Great for bulk recruitment Simple all set up so takes minutes to post a job Linked to your job credits Puts all accepted job interviews and cvs into your diary Front end-user experience is good and easy to apply

No back system (yet) so simple changes to your set up emails / adding new users can’t be done however this is in test mode and is coming soon. The set up of the system isn’t always the easiest however as it’s bespoke to you it’s worth the wait.
