What makes Head Light different

There are plenty of on-line talent management providers – so what makes Head Light different?

Dependable. Reliable. Longstanding.

We know that our customers need a platform that’s robust, dependable, and tried-and-tested – and yet one that continues to evolve to meet the changes in talent need.

And that is what Head Light offers.

We are proud to be included as a Solid Performer in the 2022 Fosway 9-GridTM for Talent & People Success. It reflects our focus on providing a rounded suite of talent and performance capabilities to drive organisational success.

We’ve served our customers for 15 years, many of whom have been with us throughout the change in their HR practice and priorities.

ISO 27001 Information Security Management Certification BadgeA real commitment to Information Security Management

Data integrity and security are non-negotiable when partnering with a third party. You need to feel confident that it has the systems, checks and processes in place to protect your data. We have achieved ISO 27001 certification; a high standard set for an information security management system which covers all legal, physical and technical controls involved to manage risk. Our customers can be assured of the resilience and excellence of the systems we have in place.

You can verify the validity of our ISO certificate by entering our certificate number [217613] via this link: www.british-assessment.co.uk/verify

Guaranteed ROI

You search, you decide, you invest in talent management – and you need to know this will pay back and give you the performance uplift your business needs.

We guarantee that this will happen when you deploy our solutions – and we can show you how right now.

Straightforward customer focus

Customers choose us because of the quality of the system and the value it brings to them. And we make it easy for them. They choose what to include, how many users they want and the functionality they need. No licence fees, no per use fees – just a straightforward agreement with telephone and web support, upgrades and user groups – all as part of the package. Our Client Charter sets out what we do and don’t do.

We are proud to have achieved ISO 27001 certification. We are delighted to have been the Bronze winner in the TJ L&D Supplier of the Year Awards in 2014 and to have won the Software Satisfaction Award in 2012 – all of which are testament to our commitment to our customers.

Agility and innovation

We listen to our customers’ feedback, monitor latest use cases and look at how technology is moving. And then we implement great ideas – quickly. We typically release an update to all users of our Talent Cloud® platform every 4 months – with nothing to pay for. What other company does that?

Out-of-this-world service

You can’t do your job unless you know you’re supported. That’s why we commit to service levels – and provide a money-back guarantee.

Our stats speak for themselves. We achieve 99.999% service availability on a 24 x 7 basis. We ‘close’ support calls made to us on average within 48 minutes and 99.2% of support calls are ‘closed’ within one working day. Does your current supplier do this?

Don’t take our word for it, read what our customers say.
