Occy

Who’s it best for?

Occy is a great fit for UK mid-market businesses who are looking to onboard an ATS that prioritises a powerful feature set with a highly customisable automation builder. Occy’s platform is easy to use, doesn’t come with a steep learning curve and provides an extensive integrated feature set alongside a focus on people-led customer support.

Why choose Occy over Talos360?

As a Talos360 alternative, Occy covers the majority of Talos360’s features with one major departure – our implementation of AI focuses on empowering teams to do more with less. We support with the admin-heavy tasks of a hiring process, combining AI and automation to assist with writing job descriptions, managing candidate comms or crafting candidate summaries.

Our focus remains on keeping people at the heart of recruitment, where hiring professionals can use their experience and skills to make hiring decisions without drowning in a sea of admin.

Occy also has a significant focus on customer service and implementation. Whilst both options have a free implementation service that configures your ATS for you, Occy’s onboarding process has teams fully configured and trained on the platform within 4 weeks and is led by people, not articles. Talos 360 offers a ‘quick start package’ with basic ATS functionality, but full implementation can take up to 4 months.

Talos 360’s customer service is also tiered, and as the business shifts its priorities to target the enterprise segment, mid-market businesses risk being locked into a contract where the service level doesn’t match their requirements.

Key Features

• Fully customisable and automated workflows that can be built in a few clicks and don’t require weeks of effort to get up and running

• Ethically implemented AI features that support the hiring process and reduce manual workload without compromising explainability or introducing unwanted bias

• Customer service that’s people-first, with the same gold standard of service for all customers regardless of their company size or contract value

How does Talos 360’s pricing work?

Talos360 uses a modular pricing structure, and whilst the idea of a highly configured package sounds good on paper, it often leads to contract values skyrocketing once the desired feature sets are built into a contract.

At Occy, we provide a very similar feature set, but at a fixed cost that’s aligned with the price of the basic package that Talos360 provides. We don’t believe that teams should have their hiring strategies limited by price, especially when budgets are tight and spending must be constantly justified against ROI.

Occy also has consistently lower costs for teams looking to purchase advertising media versus Talos360 or from job boards, We find that we save our customers a minimum of 15% on their media when buying from us rather than directly from job boards, and considerably higher savings when comparing to Talos 360’s rates.
