Features
Cornerstone OnDemand focuses primarily on the talent management arena, from recruiting to onboarding, to career development to performance measurements. A few of the platform’s standard features are indicated below. However, we want to discuss briefly on the social collaboration features as it is an important concept in HR.
The Cornerstone Connect functionality allows employees to collaborate with their managers and each other. Similar to LinkedIn, employees can set up their own profile and request connections with others. Employees can also set up their own tasks or the tasks of their team and share that with others, who then can comment on those tasks.

Implementation/Integration
The implementation process for Cornerstone OnDemand’s solutions goes in three steps: Discovery, Desgin, and Execution. The Discovery phase entails assessing the company’s need through questionnaires, demos, and interviews. Once the needs are assessed, Cornerstone OnDemand presents a configuration workshop where they recommend a customer-specific configuration they’ve built. Finally, the Execution phase is the actual deployment.
Training is provided by the Educational Services team – they train everyone from system administrators to managers and end-users. They recommend a blended learning approach, such as webinars, self-paced online courses, virtual labs, and live onsite training.

Shortcomings
Some users have reported that the interface is not as easy to use or intuitive, especially when working with the LMS functionality. Users are finding it difficult to make changes in the system, such as changing dates or uploading older data.
Cornerstone OnDemand does offer mobile capability but it is not marketed and limited in functionality (i.e. not integrated with smartphones or tablets).
