Talos360 has announced the launch of Talos Perform, a next-generation performance management solution designed to close the growing talent insight gap and form a key part of the company’s AI-driven platform for managing the entire talent lifecycle.
Built on the strong foundation of Appraisd, acquired by Talos360 in 2025, Talos Perform represents the next step in Talos360’s strategy to connect hiring, onboarding, development and performance into a single intelligent platform.
As organisations face increasing pressure to make faster and more effective talent decisions, many still struggle to turn workforce data into meaningful insight. It is no longer just about filling roles quickly, but about improving how organisations identify and assess talent in a way that drives long-term performance. Many hiring processes still fail to connect recruitment decisions with downstream outcomes. Talos Perform helps close this gap by linking performance insight back into hiring and the wider talent lifecycle, enabling more informed and effective talent decisions over time.
While traditional HR systems capture information and manage workflows, they rarely provide the intelligence required to drive better outcomes.
Talos360 believes the next generation of HR technology needs to move beyond systems of record and process to deliver systems of insight and action – platforms that not only capture talent data but actively help organisations make smarter decisions.
Talos Perform is designed to close this gap, giving leaders greater visibility into performance, potential and development, while enabling organisations to act on those insights more effectively.
Demand for this approach is growing rapidly. Talos perform has seen accelerated growth over the past year and has doubled the size of the team, investing heavily in engineering, AI capability and go-to-market expansion. This reflects increasing demand from organisations seeking deeper visibility into workforce performance and development.
“HR technology has traditionally focused on systems of record and systems of process,” said Janette Martin, CEO at Talos360.
“But organisations today need something far more powerful. They need platforms that provide insight and enable action. Talos Perform is part of our broader vision to build an AI-driven talent platform that helps organisations understand their people and make better decisions at every stage of the talent journey.”
Talos Perform plays a key role in Talos360’s wider AI-first platform strategy, which aims to bring intelligent automation to the full talent lifecycle.
Central to this vision is Tali, Talos360’s AI talent agent, designed to support managers throughout the recruitment process – from screening candidates and coordinating interviews to generating hiring insights and recommendations. Tali represents Talos360’s ambition to move from workflow software to intelligent agents that actively assist organisations in making talent decisions.
By automating many of the manual tasks traditionally associated with recruitment, Tali enables organisations to move faster while maintaining quality and consistency in hiring decisions.
Talos360 is also embedding AI across performance and development workflows. Capabilities such as AI-powered meeting notetaking help managers capture key insights from performance conversations, reducing administrative burden while ensuring development actions are clearly recorded and acted upon.
“AI will fundamentally reshape how organisations hire, develop and retain talent,” added Janette.
“Our ambition is to build the platform that powers that transformation – connecting insight across the entire talent lifecycle and enabling organisations to make smarter, faster talent decisions.”
Talos360 is trusted by over 800 organisations, including Domino’s Pizza, Stonegate Group, Briggs Equipment, Cats Protection and Black Country Housing Group.
“Having used Talos ATS at Black Country Housing Group for six years, we are now leveraging Talos Perform to take our HR operations to the next level – gaining deeper insights into employee performance and talent success across the entire employee lifecycle. It’s empowering our team to make data-driven decisions and truly optimise talent management.” – Kirsty Morris, Head of People at Black Country Housing.
Talos Perform is part of Talos360’s continued investment in its AI-driven platform.
