In its favor

Why people choose Deltek Talent Management

The signal that keeps Deltek Talent Management on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Project-based performance management aligns reviews directly to projects and utilization, a capability rare in generic HRMS platforms that A&E and consulting firms specifically require.

Tight integration with Deltek Vantagepoint and Vision eliminates duplicate data entry for new hires, employee structure, and timesheet synchronisation across the ERP and HRMS.

Comprehensive talent suite covering recruiting, onboarding, performance, compensation, and learning in one platform reduces the need for multiple point solutions.

Configurable 9-Box matrices and project-based appraisals allow firms to tie performance outcomes to business results rather than generic competency frameworks.

Custom fields and group-based permissions enable firms to adapt the system to firm-specific workflows without requiring code changes.

High total cost of ownership including implementation, annual licensing, and the requirement for dedicated internal resources to manage the platform effectively.

No native mobile application forces employees and managers to access the system through a desktop browser, creating friction for remote or field workers.

Performance can degrade with large datasets, and some users report sluggish page loads on Requisition screens that retrieve data twice per request.

Steep learning curve for non-technical users makes routine tasks like performance feedback retrieval and training information access frustrating for employees.

Duplicate data entry risks emerge when the Vantagepoint integration breaks or requires manual intervention, defeating the core value proposition of the connected suite.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Project-based performance management ties reviews directly to utilisation and project outcomes rather than generic goals.Deep ERP integration with Vantagepoint and Vision eliminates manual re-entry of employee and project data across the financial stack.Configurable 9-Box talent grid and career-pathing tools support succession planning and talent development workflows.Comprehensive talent suite from requisition through termination in a single platform reduces tool sprawl for mid-size firms.Custom fields and group-based permissions allow firm-specific customisation without relying on developer resources.

Weaknesses

No native mobile application limits access for field workers and remote employees who need to complete approvals or view training on the go.Pricing is opaque and enterprise-only, requiring sales conversations to understand total cost including implementation.Performance degrades on larger datasets, particularly on Requisition pages that retrieve forms twice per load.User interface can feel dated and unintuitive compared to modern SaaS alternatives, with some navigation requiring excessive clicks.Steep learning curve for non-technical HR staff and managers who need to complete routine tasks like performance feedback and training access.

Where it works

Architecture and engineering firms already running Deltek Vantagepoint or Vision that need to synchronise employee data across ERP and HRMS without manual re-entry.Mid-size to large professional services firms with 100+ employees that require performance reviews tied directly to project utilisation and utilisation targets.Consulting and A&E firms needing configurable 9-Box talent grids and career-pathing workflows that align with firm-specific project structures.Organizations with dedicated internal resources capable of managing the platform configuration and maintaining the Vantagepoint integration over time.Project-based firms that want a single platform covering the full talent lifecycle from requisition through termination rather than multiple point solutions.

Where it struggles

Small businesses or startups with limited budgets that cannot absorb enterprise licensing, implementation costs, and ongoing dedicated resource requirements.Organizations with a large proportion of remote, field, or mobile workers who need to complete approvals and access training on mobile devices.Companies prioritising a modern, consumer-grade user interface and fast adoption across non-technical employees and managers without formal training.Firms with fluctuating headcount or frequent reorganisations where the performance degradation on larger datasets and sluggish Requisition page loads become noticeable.Organizations without existing Deltek ERP infrastructure seeking a standalone HRMS that does not require integration with a connected financial system.

Pricing tiers

Deltek Talent Management pricing overview

Deltek Talent Management is sold exclusively through enterprise sales with no public pricing on its website. The platform is offered in three cloud tiers (Basic, Flex, Enterprise) that share API access and security baseline but differ in administrative control and database access. Pricing is bundled with the broader Deltek ERP ecosystem for most customers, making it difficult to isolate Talent Management cost from Vision or Vantagepoint licensing.

What gets migrated

Deltek Talent Management object support

Object-by-object support for Deltek Talent Management migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Employees

Fully supported

The core HR record in Talent Management. Employee data including status, department, job title, and contact information exports cleanly via standard report formats. We map the employee record 1:1 and flag any cross-references to Vantagepoint cost centres or billing rates that require parallel migration.

Candidates

Fully supported

ATS candidates include application status, source, and hiring-manager assignment. Candidate records export via CSV or the API with full history. We preserve candidate status history and notes, and handle deactivated status values that may still appear in dropdown lists during bulk operations.

Job Requisitions

Fully supported

Requisitions link to Candidates and include status, department, and location. The Requisition page has known performance quirks where it retrieves the form twice, which we handle by pulling data directly from the database export rather than screen-scraping.

Onboarding Records

Mapping required

Onboarding documents, completion status, and the assigned Hiring Manager are all stored on the onboarding record. Known issues exist where notifications route to terminated Hiring Managers. We export the onboarding state explicitly and flag any Hiring Manager assignments where the manager is no longer active.

Performance Reviews

Mapping required

Performance reviews include project-based appraisals, goal-setting, and configurable 9-Box rating data. The review cycle, ratings, and comments map to the destination's review object, but custom rating matrices require field-level mapping.

Compensation History

Mapping required

Effective-dated compensation rows include salary, bonuses, and equity details. We preserve the full compensation timeline and map salary bands and job grades to the destination's compensation structure, which may differ in granularity.

Learning Enrollments

Mapping required

Learning records include course enrollment, completion status, and certification tracking. We map learning history and certificate records, noting that the destination LMS may have a different course taxonomy.

Custom Fields

Mapping required

Talent Management supports custom fields on most core objects via the Additional Information tab. Custom field types include text, radio buttons, and multi-select lists. We export custom field data alongside standard fields and map them to the destination's custom field equivalents.

Groups and Permissions

Mapping required

Group membership controls access to Talent Management functions. Groups map to roles or teams in the destination, but Deltek's group-based permission model may not map 1:1 to role-based systems.

Locations

Fully supported

Office and location data used in recruiting and org structure. Locations export cleanly and map to the destination's location or office object.

Time Entries

Mapping required

Time entry data may originate in Talent Management or Vantagepoint depending on the firm's configuration. Where Talent Management is the system of record, we export time entry rows and map them to the destination's timesheet object.

Documents

Mapping required

Onboarding documents, employee files, and uploaded attachments are stored in Talent Management. We export document metadata and binary files, noting that file storage and version retention settings may differ in the destination.
