# Gloat review (2026): is it worth it? > Agentic HR and talent marketplace for large employers Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Gloat is an enterprise HR platform that runs AI agents on top of a company's existing HR systems. It covers internal talent mobility, skills inventory and gap analysis, talent acquisition, workforce planning and employee HR questions, with agents that work in Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and Copilot. It connects to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM. - **Category:** Hiring & Applicant Tracking - **Made by:** Gloat - **Website:** https://gloat.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want an ATS, because Gloat isn't one. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Gloat's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Transactional agents:** Answer routine employee questions such as remaining time off or tax form updates; the vendor says this halves HR ticket volume. - **Workflow agents:** Run multi-step processes like performance reviews, onboarding and compensation adjustments from start to finish. - **Strategic agents:** Support succession planning, workforce capacity modeling and early flags on regional skill gaps. - **Skills and talent marketplace:** Use cases cover career coaching, skills inventory and matching, sourcing and referrals, and internal mobility. - **Agent library and builder:** A library of pre-built HR agents plus a no-code builder, with approval chains and an audit trail for agent actions. ## Good for - Large employers that want internal mobility and skills data layered on Workday, SAP or Oracle - HR teams that want assistants inside Teams, Slack or Copilot ## Worth knowing - No prices are published; the site directs buyers to a demo request. - It is an HR and workforce platform, not a standalone applicant tracking system. - The pages describe an enterprise deployment on top of an existing HCM, so it is not aimed at small teams. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Gloat runs AI agents on top of your existing HR systems for internal mobility, skills gaps, workforce planning and employee questions. It's an enterprise HR platform, not an ATS, it assumes you already run Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle HCM, and no price is published. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published, so we can't set it against the $74 to $149 a month this category charges. That leaves it at C. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial is listed; the site routes you to a demo. A demo request isn't a trial. - **Features: C.** Skills inventory, an internal marketplace, workforce planning and agents inside Teams and Slack. It's an HR platform, not a hiring tool, so it covers a different job from most of its category. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and the listing shows an enterprise rollout on top of an HCM. That puts it at C. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web product with agents in Teams, Slack, Zoom and Copilot, and connections to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM. No desktop or phone app, so B. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Gloat's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among hiring and applicant tracking tools - Gloat's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 30 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 23. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 39 of 101) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/hiring ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Gloat you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher. - You could make: Employee records: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot, Slack, Zoom, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM **Tags:** AI features, AI agents, Chatbots, Workflow automation, Dashboards, Employee records ## Alternatives - [Eightfold](https://toolgpa.com/tools/eightfold): AI talent intelligence platform for hiring and workforce decisions.
