smartocto vs. Infor Talent Science

Great for setting up MEL measurements for web based media. Great for use in media environments especially where there is no dedicated data analytics staff. Not sure how useful it would be for those sites that are not content focused.

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 has a lot of information and data all over the place. It took us some time to get used to it and get people properly onboarded. We have seen some improvement, but UX has more space to improve.

• Integration with other hiring platforms
• Assessment can be a deterrent to potential candidates
• User navigation and troubleshooting

smartocto is a very user-friendly tool, with a smart & clean interface.

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.

smartocto is much easier to use and is perfectly setup so that newsrooms can see the information they need in a quick and easy-to-use format.

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.
