Eightfold AI vs. Infor Talent Science

Eightfold [AI] is great to bolt onto an ATS that isn't meeting your needs to search for candidates, refresh candidate data, or use AI to match candidates to your requisitions. It capitalizes on the data that you pull into your existing system. It is not a sourcing tool in that it doesn't go out and web crawl for candidates to match your requirements. Your TA team will still need to pull candidates into the pipeline but Eightfold's AI does a great job matching candidates to your open requisitions.

I would recommend Infor Talent Science to other colleagues, particularly those working in structured hiring environments. The platform is great at using behavioral science to improve hiring quality and predict potential outcomes. It has become a valuable tool for our business to help align candidates with roles based on proven success rather than just the interviewers intuition alone.

• They could improve with integration across all features within ATS, CRMs, etc. Whenever you send out messages through Eightfold, it does not show that in other CRMs, ATS' - it pulls information from them but it does not export it back to those channels.
• Calibration on candidate skills, profiles, education, etc. need improvement. They still pull current employees at our company and others who are in process - thus creating a lot of confusion from a Talent Acquisition side.
• User Experience does need some additional help - but it's a work in progress.

• Integration with other hiring platforms
• Assessment can be a deterrent to potential candidates

It is good but needs improvements.

The platform is well-designed for recruiting and provides detail and actionable insights, but there is a learning curve that prevents it from being completely intuitive out of the gate.
From a recruiter’s perspective, the core functionality is strong and reliable. Candidate scorecards, behavioral insights, and interview guides are easy to access once you’re familiar with the system, and the data is presented in a way that supports informed decision-making rather than overwhelming users.
The reason for the slightly lower score is that navigation and setup can take time to fully understand, particularly for new users or hiring managers who don’t use the system daily. Some workflows require multiple steps, and certain reports or features are not immediately obvious without training or prior experience.

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.

I have used and evaluated several other talent assessment and hiring platforms, including tools focused on behavioral assessments, personality testing, and skills-based screening. These include solutions similar to Predictive Index–style assessments, generic personality assessments, and ATS-embedded screening tools that offer lighter evaluation capabilities.
Compared to many of these options, Infor Talent Science stands out for its depth of behavioral science and predictive accuracy. While some platforms provide surface-level personality insights or one-size-fits-all assessments, Infor Talent Science benchmarks candidates against actual top performers within the organization, which makes the insights far more relevant and actionable.
