Cornerstone At A Glance

Good: Follows the employee life cycle from candidate sourcing to succession management.
Bad: Learning curve due to robust features.
Bottom Line: Talent management for all industries and sizes.

Product Overview

Cornerstone is an integrated cloud-based talent management solution. Its solutions is available to companies of all industries and sizes and can work with the company’s existing systems (i.e. ERPs, financial systems, and payroll platforms). Cornerstone focuses on recruiting, onboarding, performance management, learning management, compensation, and succession management.

Cornerstone is also available in Growth Edition for companies with less than 400 employees. The Growth Edition is dedicated to providing recruiting, performance management, and learning functionalities. Companies can post job opening through multiple job boards via Cornerstone as well as have candidate apply for jobs through the applicant tracking system (ATS).

Cornerstone also provide solutions that are specific to either the commercial sector (i.e. manufacturing, healthcare, retail) or the public sector (i.e. government, non-profits).

Features

Cornerstone 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’s solutions goes in three steps: Discovery, Design, and Execution. The Discovery phase entails assessing the company’s need through questionnaires, demos, and interviews. Once the needs are assessed, Cornerstone 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.
