FAQs: Getting Started with Hogan Talent
Question
Response
What is Hogan Talent?
Hogan Talent (HT) is our modern, proprietary platform for managing projects, participants, reporting, and assessment data. Hogan Talent is replacing the HALO, HALO Lite, and Hogan Direct platforms to provide a more secure, reliable, and user-friendly Hogan experience.
Why is Hogan moving from HALO to Hogan Talent?
This transition is part of Hogan’s ongoing commitment to improving our client experience. HT provides a strong foundation for current needs and future enhancements.
What benefits can I expect from Hogan Talent?
HT provides secure, on-demand access to reports, group data, and activity logs. Easy project and participant setup reduces manual processes. Distinct user types for administrators and coaches provide more control over access to participant information and results. As we continue to develop HT, features will include enhanced reporting and analytics, simplified integration with other systems, more flexibility for managing data across borders, additional user roles, and configurable workflows.
How will the user experience change?
HT offers a more intuitive interface for managing projects and participants. Compared to HALO and HALO Lite, the functionality is streamlined with new standard features, such as real-time access to group data and activity logs for monitoring programs and purchases.
How will Hogan Talent improve security?
HT is designed to reduce reliance on PDF files and manual processes by providing easier access to records, reports, and data directly within the system. Because it does not rely on email distribution for report access, HT reduces the risk of sensitive data being shared inappropriately. Email verification for user account creation also reduces the risk of unauthorized access to assessment and participant data. In the future, multifactor authentication, password controls, and data localization will further enhance HT security.
Will Hogan Talent have scheduled downtime?
HT is designed for continuous availability with no scheduled downtime or maintenance windows. Updates will be delivered seamlessly without interrupting programs or participants.
What support will be available during the transition?
We will ensure the move from our legacy systems to HT is as seamless as possible, and we will provide support every step of the way.

FAQs: Updated Reports
Question
Response
What is changing?
Results reports on Hogan Talent will be delivered in HTML rather than PDF format. You will see new branding and changes to the report layouts providing a cleaner, more accessible experience for administrators and participants.
Insight Series Reports
The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS), and Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI) Insight Series reports have been restructured. All primary and subscale scores are now represented in graphs on the last page of the report. This change should facilitate interpretation by allowing users to see patterns across subscales more easily. In addition, the option to include the HPI Occupational Scales has been removed. These scales were originally developed to identify personality characteristics associated with success in specific occupations. However, Hogan now offers newer solutions that provide occupation-related insights with stronger research, validation, and ongoing support behind them.
Leadership Forecast Series
In the past, redundant content between the Coaching and Summary reports meant clients had to choose one or the other. Hogan is streamlining these product options to improve the experience for both assessment administrators and participants. First, we have removed the summary of results from the Coaching report, creating a static development workbook that can be used with any Hogan product. In addition, clients who order the Leadership Forecast Series report package will now see one comprehensive option including the HPI Potential report, the HDS Challenge report, the MVPI Values report, the Summary report, the Flash report, and the Coaching report.
