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.

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 supportedThe 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 supportedATS 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 supportedRequisitions 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 requiredOnboarding 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 requiredPerformance 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 requiredEffective-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 requiredLearning 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 requiredTalent 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 requiredGroup 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 supportedOffice 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 requiredTime 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 requiredOnboarding 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.
