Also, mobile friendly customizable career pages helps in showcasing the brand and reaching impacts the outreach. > > **Cons**: I have not faced any issues but updates are always welcome > > This tool made recruitment process easy and less tiresome. it streamlined the hiring process and enhanced the candidate experience too. Reporting and customizable dashboards is a feature that catches the eye. Overall productivity has increased as it saves time and reduces cost significantly. Interview process is simplified with scheduling tools and candidate evaluation features. ----- ### "Cutting Edge of Talent and Learning Management" — 4.0/5 > **Eva** | *8 December 2015* | Public Policy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve been working with Cornerstone products for 3 years now at two different companies, and I’ve been impressed and satisfied with the overall system and functionality offered. Of course, the more modules you have in the system, the more impressive the analytics and integration of the data you load, but even with just the Learning and Performance modules it’s a great tool that provides wonderful talent and learning administration and reporting. Over time, the interface has become more and more user friendly, and now with the new Universal Profile and system updates related to that, users are presented with a familiar, facebook-ish feel that is easy to learn and navigate. Another very positive direction Cornerstone has taken is to create a more visual, image-based interface, although there are still pages that are being updated to create a complete and consistent look and feel. I’m also a huge fan of the reporting options in the system. As far as custom reports go it takes a little getting used to how information is pulled, but once you know the system and the data, you can really pull all sorts of information. They recently made it even better because you can build graphs in custom reports now, which makes it easier than loading the data into excel and doing the work there. Overall though, I really can’t stress how easy it is for admins to navigate the system. Sure, as a System Administrator things can get a little more complicated as far as maintaining security/permission roles and deciding back end settings, but for the people in your organization that you designate as training coordinators or instructors, it’s really simple for them to learn how to run reports, enroll employees, add events and sessions, manage rosters, etc.. There’s also the option to build custom pages which is super cool\! I’d never really learned much about HTML coding, but recently suggested we build some of our organization’s new performance management programs as custom pages in Cornerstone rather than in SharePoint…..meaning I ended up having that job…..and it was so easy to build some really cool, functional pages. With minimal experience (and a lot of web searching on coding), we ended up with some really great pages that connected to other areas of the system such as signing up for classes, etc.. Having the Data Load Wizard has been a great asset too in order to feed large amounts of data into the system without having to enter lines one-by-one. All in all, I’ve definitely enjoyed working with the Cornerstone system and its wonderful employees\! I went to their Cornerstone Convergence conference last year as well, and all of the products they offer and how they fit together to provide amazing features like predictive analytics is super exciting to see\! Cornerstone definitely has a vision and is on the cutting edge of Talent and Learning Management. > > **Cons**: I’ll admit there are times where we may run up against issues with what we’d LIKE the system to do, and what it is actually able to do, or system errors that need to be looked at on the Cornerstone end (something like emails not firing the way they should, or an area of the system not working the way we thought it would), but every time I’ve had problems and I’ve reached out to their Global Support or to our Client Success Manager, they’ve been extremely helpful. Global Support may not know the answer right away but they always get back to me with a fix or answers to why things are happening, and our Client Success Manager (at both companies I worked for) went out of their way to help me troubleshoot and find workarounds to suite our needs. ----- ### "Why Cornerstone OnDemand doesn't care about you\!" — 3.0/5 > **Julian** | *13 June 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent UI Powerful features and functionality Stays up to date with latest learning trends and matches those to features > > **Cons**: Terrible, I mean TERRIBLE customer support when things go wrong or need fixing/request support > > CSOD doesn't care about you as a customer on the back end - their whole energy is spent designing cool new features and then using their "Customer Support" team to promote those features to you. Once you're signed up then you pass quickly down their list of priorities. Their team move onto the next client to capture on their licensing agreement. When you need support, something in your system needs fixing then good luck getting a response from their tech support team that meets your expectations. Myself and my team have numerous examples of responses that take \>2 weeks to even get a response. When you reply expect the same time to get another response etc. You can call to try and get speedier service, average call wait time 40 minutes - I've waited 90 minutes once\! When you try to complain there is no mechanism to take your feedback. You cease to be important once fully implemented. Yes it's the coolest and probably the most powerful LMS out there but please weigh this carefully on the lack of support you will receive when you need it. ----- ### "Cornerstone Recruiting is a fully integrated software" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 June 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software assists us in finding employment in the construction industry and monitors user access times. > > **Cons**: I like the way of presenting the reports and analysis with insights and keywords > > Its an awesome experiences with Cornerstone Recruiting ----- ### "Some good, some bad" — 4.0/5 > **Shandus** | *24 January 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's mostly intuitive from the user side. It can get very complicated from the administrator side. It can be powerful in what it can do...if your organization's processes and data work the way the system was built to work. I like the reporting options. > > **Cons**: In our case, our organizational structure (higher education) required a lot of retrofitting to make the system work for us...and in many cases, it leaves us with a sub-optimal outcome. There are also many common sense little features that I would have expected a system like this to have that it just doesn't. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/3423/cornerstone-hr?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/3423/cornerstone-hr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
