Halogen TalentSpace Reviews (43)

Great customer service. Easy to use- both as an employee and administrator. I like that my questions get answered in a timely fashion. I understand who to contact and how to find what I need. I love every staff member I've ever contacted (from IT helpdesk to our customer account manager. I can easily navigate through the site and through upgrades. I feel like Halogen communicates well.

I would like to see the ability to customize the "user portal" a little more, so that aesthetically speaking you could make it look like your company intranet site or external website a little more. Brand it a little more with logos, colors, fonts, etc. To give the user end site more of the same feel your company's internal website or external website has. So it's hard to tell when you move from intranet site to Halogen, etc. Make it more embedded/connected.

Do it!

Reduced administrative costs for annual evaluations. More readily available HR metrics. Compliance training easier to track, remind, ensure completion. Ties performance to training for a complete performance management process. Onboarding - deploying and viewing 30, 60, 90 day onboarding questions. Everything is in one spot. I love the talent profile and having that in place for employees (and HR) to easily pull up employees with certain education, certification, languages, etc. is outstanding especially if we need that information for a proposal or an audit. It reduces the administrative time greatly.

Halogen is the most efficient talent management. Customer service is the best results of this product. Easy to use. Annual conference helps me to catch up new features from Halogen. Each facilities at our location is able to follow Halogen easily as long as there is Training provided. Languages can be provided for free, however, it costs addition to the modules. It can be reduced price than current price. First implementation session was very smooth and easier than what we expected. Each week, we had a meeting with Halogen consultant who can help building first tamplates for appraisals. Any tamplates can be created in Halogen such as goal settings, appraisals, any survey. Succession planning can be improved such as adding questions to be used. Talent profie portion can be also improved for reporting. Currently, I can not download in excel to sort by companies, levels, departments, and such. Overall, I am happy with Halogen. It can be a very helpful tool for our Company if everyone...

I do not have dislike area in Halogen. Reporting can be improved. I think it is very time consuming to do at work. You have to explain a lot in detail and you can't think like that at work with so many people bothering you. Also you have other projects at work that take your time.

Very easy to use as HR admin and able to follow the instructions to implement. Customer service is great!

Reporting can be improved. We can find all appraisals in one area as well as taking e-learning from anywhere.

Halogen's front end software and the system back end is fairly easy to use once you're used to it. Over the years I have seen so much progress with the interface and also system changes or updates that I have requested have actually been implemented by Halogen. They move quickly and update with new releases quite often. They also have a plethora of resources for talent management training and ideas. Most of all, I love their customer support team - they're always helpful, calm, and collected.

We continue to have connectivity challenges in our field offices (throughout Africa) with Halogen. The system is so data heavy that sometimes it takes quite awhile to load if the internet is not top quality. Also, in eAppraisal, I wish there was a way to have a self-appraisal that did not exactly mirror the manager's appraisal - we have had to do some work arounds with this because it's not an option at this time.

With Halogen, we have been able to centralize and decentralize our performance management processes all at once. Our HR partners in our country offices can utilize the back end of their own processes. At the same time, we can monitor and set up processes, forms and the system in a unified way. Everyone can utilize the reporting which is so helpful in making sure processes are completed and holding employees and managers accountable, and looking at data and trends.

The software is very intuitive and user friendly, both for the users and the administrators. Over time, we have refined our appraisal process and have had zero problems integrating these changes/updates in Halogen. This to me speaks volumes to the quality of the product. That and I have yet to stump the stellar customer service at Halogen (and believe me I have tried). Halogen’s eAppraisal is indeed best in class.

As a power-user/administrator, I could nitpick at few minor issues I have encountered over the years. There is a few functions that do not work in the Firefox browser (such as when admin’s try to manually change 2nd level managers). I am not a fan of the added security (password) features, only because it seems overkill in our business environment.

Give it a test drive. From both the user and administrator perspective, this software is very flexible and user friendly.

Performance Management (eAppraisal) is the business problem that Halogen has helped our business to solve. The biggest benefit of the tool is the ability to work in multiple appraisal processes at once. This is useful for Directors and VPs who manage employees across numerous divisions and in multiple processes.

We started with a paper-intensive process for our Talent Management/Performance Management processes. We were able to create a paperless system for performance reviews that are tied to our job description and duties. Our implementation was well organized and and happened on-time. Their staff is knowledgeable and guided us through the process - and gave us insightful suggestions for set-ups that would stand the test of time. We were able to add new forms after implementation to create new hire surveys, policies acknowledgements/sign offs and much more.

I truly wish that Halogen had an entire HRIS/Payroll solution. I wish that we had a fully integrated system all with Halogen. Halogen listens to it's customers and makes updates the software that are valuable and insightful. I hope that we can someday soon add the onboarding and recruitment modules.

I highly recommend this to healthcare facilities, especially those who are accredited by The Joint Commission. Having our performance management in Halogen has simplified a lot of processes for us and helped us to meet requirements.

Managers are thrilled they they no longer are copying forms, calculating scores and that our appraisals are truly tied to duties and responsibilities on the job descriptions.
