Workforce and recruitment data tool that drastically reduced our time to hire at scale
This solution has improved the time to fill positions. We're able to do talent mapping and provide talent market insights based on the dashboards and data that Eightfold offers. Within a two week period, we are now able to have people ready to interview with a hiring manager, which is a huge win for us. It has become part of the sourcing strategy that's being deployed for all talent teams across different organizations in the US. We were able to execute a hire using Eightfold within the first month of deployment. This is due to the fact that we were able to source previous applicants for a specific position. Currently, 50% of our talent activities will be shifting towards Eightfold. Within a week or two, we have had people in various phone screen stages, whether with a recruiter, a sourcer or a hiring manager. We are about to launch the capabilities for scheduling interviews to reduce time to schedule from 4 to 5 days down to 48 to 72 hours. Eightfold takes the focus out of job titles. When you're sourcing using your own database, you look for job titles that are similar to the roles that you have open. However, job titles differ from company to company, and sometimes one person would have a specific job title but have different roles and responsibilities. The calibration tool allows our hiring managers to search our database and find candidates with a broader range of relevant skills.

Enables standardized, electronic, performance reviews. It is difficult to accommodate reporting changes during review cycles.
It is difficult to accommodate reporting changes during review cycles. Employee changes are not automated if you do not use the SilkRoad HeartBeat HR system. We always have supervisory changes during the performance review cycle. For example, if an employee’s manager is terminated, then the reviews, that the manager may have been in the middle of doing, do not get automatically transferred to the new manager. We did a lot of manual work to get the old manager’s review over to the new one. The situation was made even more difficult, since we didn’t have our HR system integrated with Wingspan. The change in the manager's relationship happens only in the HR system. There wasn’t a trigger for anything to change on the Wingspan-side, so we had to continually audit/track changes in HR and update Wingspan, accordingly. Using SilkRoad HeartBeat, would probably have made the situation easier, but that wasn’t an option for us.
