why Choose Halogen?
Be Brillliant.

Some vendors would like you to believe that a quality talent management solution needs to be expensive and complex to be effective. We think differently...

The truth is, it's easy to deliver complex and expensive products. Keeping it simple requires a little more innovative thought!

We describe our cloud-based talent management suite as “powerful, simple, and affordable.” This reflects a business philosophy that has been with us from day one.

By focusing on what customers really need and giving them options, we’ve proven we can offer exceptional functionality that's affordable, and simple to implement and use.

Big Picture Talent Management™

But even more importantly, our complete and organically-built suite makes it easy for you to align your talent strategy with your business strategy, so you can achieve exceptional results. We call this Big Picture Talent Management™.

You see, rather than acquire and cobble together a talent management suite, we went to the trouble of building all the modules from the ground up. This has allowed us to deliver unique and powerful functionality, as well as a better user experience. It's also allowed us to ensure every module we developed drives employee performance — because that’s what talent management is really all about: helping people perform brilliantly.

Helping you be brilliant at talent management

At Halogen, our mission is to help you build a world-class workforce that is aligned and inspired, and that delivers exceptional results.

We want you to be confident, be strategic, be brilliant at talent management!

 

In speaking to Halogen Software customers I noticed something strange. Customers are not merely happy with the product, they are profoundly grateful. It is as if Halogen has done something wonderful for their life and they are very anxious to return the favor. I know lots of companies who like their HR software, but I've never experienced the kind of reaction I get from Halogen customers.

Our Customers - Halogen Comes Highly Recommended

What really tipped the scales in Halogen's favor were the strong, unsolicited references. They spoke volumes about Halogen being user friendly, easy to implement and cost effective. We implemented in just three weeks and are really pleased.

Kathleen Bocek
Vice president of human resources

Maximizing employee performance is a high priority for our organization and this new solution will enable us to drive talent management strategically while providing our staff with a time-saving, web-based process. Halogen was flexible enough to meet our specific and evolving business needs.

Sheila States
Human resources director

I could not be more impressed with how Halogen staff have made this project so successful. You people are preparing me for sainthood. Saint Barry of the Immaculate Appraisals...

Barry Tourigny
VP of human resources and organizational development

We had a list of things we required from a solution and eAppraisal had everything we wanted. It has been well received and more importantly it has revolutionized our organization's culture... It's really raised the bar in terms of performance, productivity, accountability and job satisfaction for our employees.

Tim Mulligan
Chief human resources officer

This software helps us to organize and automate our appraisal process and make it more user-friendly and more thorough. It allows us to standardize competencies across job classifications, add signature and comment sections to make our process more interactive, and increase accessibility for remote managers. More thorough and accurate reviews will help to clarify expectations and corporate HR objectives, and increase staff satisfaction.

Jeff Brown
Director of human resources

In every area, my expectations have been exceeded. The software does everything that was promised, and it is intuitive. My users love it.

Juliana R. Cobb

We have had such success with Halogen eAppraisal™ that we've introduced it to one of our sister companies. They have embraced it as well, and we've increased our total number of seats by 50 percent.

Lowell Richardson
Vice president, learning and performance

Other vendors we investigated offered us different packages – some with great pricing and others with good functionality – but Halogen was the only vendor who offered us everything we require in a single package, flexible enough to meet all our needs and to grow with us.

Karen Lieu
Senior HR generalist

We really did our homework and selected Halogen based on the fact that it would meet all of our current and future talent management needs. The Halogen system is straightforward and easy to use, and everyone we've worked with at the company has been wonderful.

Mimi Ellis
SVP talent management

Halogen's automated employee performance and talent management solution is a major component of enabling us to engage and develop our employees, and maintaining Beaumont's position among leading healthcare institutions.

Ronald Lilek
Vice president of HR

During the sales process, Halogen stressed eAppraisal's ease of use. Since our purchase, the product's ease of use has exceeded not only the sales claims, but my own expectations as well. JCAHO© Surveyors commended our hospital on the usage of Halogen eAppraisal and our hospital cut line manager time to prepare annual reviews by more than 50%.

David Carter
VP of human resources

What really struck me about the Halogen solution was how easy it is to use and configure for your organization's specific needs. I knew we'd be able to get everyone on-board, empower our team and really get a lot more out of the overall process.

Robin Clayton
Director of HR

To find the right solution, we
utilized the Gartner study. After
evaluating the best of the bunch,
Halogen was by far the best choice
for our organization.

Fran Keane
Vice president of HR

Industry Experts Agree: Halogen is a Leader!

JCAHO© recommended I talk to Halogen

Makes You Cheer Out Loud! Makes You Cheer Out Loud!

With Halogen we don't have to 'move up' to another product edition and pay the costs associated with that to simply add more sophisticated functionality... Everything we need is there and it can be configured without any vendor or IT assistance.

Training coordinator

A focus on employee performance and talent management – period!

Our suite is built from the ground up to be a pure employee performance and talent management solution. It’s not an “add-on” or after thought to an existing or larger HCM system. It’s our only focus.

Every feature and function is the result of extensive research into what our customers need and confirmed industry best practices. This research has produced a powerful solution that is second to none.

Our award winning, cloud-based talent management suite automates, simplifies, and seamlessly integrates all your talent management activities.

Flexible, low risk deployment

Our flexible ‘on-choice’ deployment options ensure you get a solution that fits your budget and operating environment, today and down the road. Deploy on-premises, or go for a cloud-based solution that's hosted by Halogen — and have the freedom to change deployment options if and when you need to.

Enable the features you want, without needing to "move up to the next edition"!

You also have the option to implement the minimum feature set, or the most advanced enterprise class features. There’s no need to change to another product edition, incur costly upgrade/implementation fees, or even go back to the vendor to turn them on!

Certain to Succeed™ implementation, training and consulting services

Our goal is to get you up and running and self-sufficient in as short a time as possible, and then support you in building your product and talent management expertise over time.

Our proven methodology has been honed through experience, and is designed to ensure your success both today and tomorrow.
