Features

Cornerstone OnDemand focuses primarily on the talent management arena, from recruiting to onboarding, to career development to performance measurements. 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.
