Handshake Talent Engagement Suite vs. Infor Talent Science

Compared to bulk messaging students who are listed as 'matches' on the job listing page, the segments & campaigns I created were so helpful in identifying leads & helping to convert those leads to applicants without me having to continually follow-up with students (thank you- follow-up email feature!) For roles that require a lot of applicant flow, or for positions that require a large cohort of hires at one time, these features are perfect.

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.

It is intuitive

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.

Becca always responds very quickly to my questions. We had an issue where I couldn't register for a fair because another division of my company had already registered and this problem was fixed the next day. I feel like the team at Handshake Talent Engagement Suite actually cares about my experience. Not all companies do once the contract is signed! They definitely treat their customers well. I literally feel like I am their only customer.

I think Handshake is similar to Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with schools, register for events easily, advertise to college students and reach them where they are!

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.

• Summer internship recruiting for hard to fill roles has grown to be much easier. Without Handshake Talent Engagement Suite, we would be left scrambling to specific school job boards.
• Hosting a simple one-hour informative event and reaching a large audience has helped with brand awareness. We don't necessarily see immediate obvious results but have been content with our ability to connect with underclassmen, getting them excited to apply for internships in a year or two.
• Creating a talent segment and sending campaign messages is much more efficient and effective than reaching out to individual candidates with cold calls/emails.

• Strong positive impact on our overall business
• Hiring efficiently & helps with decision quality
• Reduces turnover
