In its favor
Why people choose Talos ATS
The signal that keeps Talos ATS on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Highly customisable pipeline stages and candidate communications let UK retail, telecom, and hospitality HR teams mirror their exact hiring process without workarounds.
AI-powered job ad writing and salary benchmarking are built in, reducing the need for third-party tools and consolidating spend into one platform.
Multi-brand and franchise reporting aggregates local hiring metrics into one central dashboard — a key differentiator for organisations operating across regions.
Strong customer service ratings (4.8/5 on Capterra) and a structured SLA with 30-minute response for client showstoppers give enterprise buyers confidence.
One flat-rate price model with optional add-ons (e-Sign, DBS Checks, SMS) avoids per-seat complexity for mid-sized HR teams.
The system was described as clunky at launch, with invoice management and initial setup requiring more effort than expected during the first months.
A verified reviewer noted the team were slow to enhance the product and reluctant to collaborate on customisations after contract signing.
As a UK-centric platform, international organisations report that localisation support outside Europe is less mature than competitors targeting a global market.

Pricing tiers
Talos ATS pricing overview
Talos ATS uses a flat-rate monthly or annual model rather than per-seat pricing, making it predictable for mid-sized HR teams. Add-on modules are priced individually, so total cost depends on which premium features are enabled. Annual quotes start around £5,600 per year for the core platform, with custom pricing for enterprise multi-brand deployments.

What gets migrated
Talos ATS object support
Object-by-object support for Talos ATS migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Fully supportedCandidates are the central record in Talos ATS, holding contact details, CV, application history, and stage progression. We map them 1:1 to the destination Contact/Candidate object, preserving all stage transitions and timestamps.
Jobs (Vacancies)
Fully supportedJob records include title, description, location, department, and status. We migrate active and closed jobs, mapping the posting URL to the destination job record.
Applications
Fully supportedApplications link a Candidate to a Job and track stage progression. We preserve the application-to-job association and stage history as a linear timeline.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredTalos allows full customisation of stage names and counts per job or pipeline. We extract the customer's stage labels and map them to the destination pipeline stages, flagging where stage count exceeds the destination's limit.
Interviews
Fully supportedInterview records include date, interviewer, type, and outcome notes. We migrate these as structured records, noting that Talos supports video interview transcription which may not carry to all destination systems.
Notes and Assessments
Mapping requiredFree-text notes attached to candidates and applications are migrated as-is. Scoring rubrics and structured Assessments require field-level mapping to the destination schema.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredTalos supports custom fields on Jobs and Candidates. We discover these during the data audit phase and map them to equivalent custom fields in the destination, flagging any unsupported field types.
Users and Owners
Mapping requiredRecruiters and hiring managers are assigned as owners on records. We map Talos users to the destination user directory, flagging inactive or departed users that should be reassigned.
Offers
Mapping requiredOffer records include compensation, start date, and status. We migrate these as structured objects but flag that e-Sign integration (Docusign) status and offer acceptance workflow state may require manual re-entry.
