Talent500 Reviews & Ratings

4.6/5

“Hired Remote Engineers Across Borders Easily”

Before Talent500, we rented through individual EOR providers country-by-country, which was painstaking. Talent500 handled global compliance, hiring, payroll, taxes, and benefits across India, Vietnam, Ukraine—smoothly. The trade-off is the high entry cost for small hires.

Pros : Employer-of-record service, international compliance, payroll automation

Cons : Not cost-effective for small businesses (starts at ~$199/user/month)

Switched from : Expertia AI

Reason to switch : Wanted a centralized global hiring solution with compliance baked in.

4.5/5

“Powerful EOR Platform, Needs Better Small-Biz Pricing”

We moved from managing contractor payroll locally to Talent500’s EOR services. It automated contracts, compliance, insurance, and payroll. It’s robust—but when you have fewer than five hires, the monthly cost feels heavy.

Pros : Full HR automation—from payroll to compliance—ideal for scaling remote teams

Cons : Price per employee ($199/month+) may be overkill for small startups

Switched from : Remote.com

Reason to switch : Needed full-service EOR—but cost-effective only at scale.

4.5/5

“Global Reach, But Limited Diversity in Roles”

I switched from local job boards in India because Talent500 partners with big tech firms and GCCs hiring remotely. Great for engineering roles—but if you're looking for product or design roles, options are fewer.

Pros : Strong access to global GCCs (Global Capability Centres), especially in India

Cons : Mostly tech & data-engineering roles; product roles are sparse

Switched from : Naukri Rms

Reason to switch : Wanted global remote engineering opportunities—but product roles limited.

4.5/5

“Better Than DIY Hiring—but Missing Some Integrations”

Before Talent500, I cobbled email notification scripts, spreadsheets, and manual onboarding. Talent500 unified it all. But HRStacks review cautioned: less seamless integration with ATS or payment systems compared to standalone ATS tools.

Pros : Automates sourcing, screening, onboarding in one platform

Cons : Offers fewer integrations than platforms like Workable or Zoho Recruit

Switched from : Zoho Recruit

Reason to switch : Wanted streamlined hiring—but ecosystem integrations are limited.

4.3/5

“Platform Scored My Resume — But Then No Response”

I switched from Indeed and manually applying to Talent500—which has a skills quiz and fast screening. Got shortlisted quickly. But some users report ghosting—rejections came faster than the quiz notification. Felt unfair.

Pros : Candidate assessment quiz and AI shortlisted me quickly for roles

Cons : Some applicants report immediate rejection emails before questionnaire completion

Switched from : Indeed

Reason to switch : Wanted curated job matches—but the process felt impersonal at times.

4.3/5

“Candidate Experience Needs Work”

As a candidate, I experienced Talent500’s AI quiz and application process. It was streamlined, but I also know several people who were rejected immediately after submitting additional forms—making it feel like a black box.

Pros : Quick matching and onboarding for candidates

Cons : Many complaints around quick rejections, form errors, lack of feedback

Switched from : Vega HR

Reason to switch : Wanted automated hiring—but candidate feedback loops were weak.

4.2/5

“Great Exposure, But High Workload”

When I joined via Talent500, I got a remote job in a multinational GCC. The exposure and freedom were amazing—learning fast, solving big problems. But employee reviews on Glassdoor say high pressure, weekend expectations, and burnout are common.

Pros : Opportunities to work remotely with global teams and fast learning

Cons : Glassdoor reviews mention long hours, micromanagement, poor work–life balance

Switched from : Reckrut

Reason to switch : Wanted remote global exposure—but work culture came with trade-offs.

4.2/5

“Culture Was Inclusive... But Career Mapping Needs Work”

I moved from a family-run startup to Talent500. I loved the diversity, collaborative leadership, and ability to experiment. But reviews and internal feedback pointed out that role clarity and reporting lines were fuzzy—especially across different teams.

Pros : Diverse teams, remote inclusion, startup-like innovation

Cons : Reporting structure and career paths unclear due to parent firm layering

Switched from : Hirewand

Reason to switch : Needed mentorship and global exposure—but organizational structure not always obvious.

4.2/5

“Strong Analytics, But Clunky Learning Curve”

I moved from Greenhouse ATS to Talent500 when we needed deeper insights. The built-in dashboards help me optimize sourcing channels and recruiter performance. But ramping up recruiters took longer—they had to adapt to the AI-driven workflow.

Pros : Advanced reporting on time-to-hire, funnel conversion, candidate quality

Cons : Takes time to train recruiters on the platform

Switched from : Greenhouse

Reason to switch : Needed talent analytics beyond basic applicant tracking.

4.2/5

“Faster Hiring, Smarter AI Matching”

I switched from using LinkedIn Recruiter and manual applicant tracking to Talent500 because the AI match algorithms surfaced more relevant profiles in half the time. The recruitment dashboard showed predictive insights and funnel metrics I’d never seen before. It took some configuration to get it right, though.

Pros : AI-powered candidate matching, insightful recruitment analytics

Cons : Few third-party integrations and onboarding is complex

Reason to switch : LinkedIn RecruiterNeeded data-driven sourcing and faster match rates.
