Cornerstone AI features and pricing (September 2026)

Cornerstone is a large US talent and learning platform used by about half of the Fortune 100, covering learning, skills, recruiting, performance and succession, with Workforce AI agents that map skills gaps and reskilling plans.

Cornerstone bundles learning content and delivery, skills mapping, core HR, a talent marketplace for internal mobility, recruiting and onboarding, succession planning, performance management and extended enterprise training for partners and customers in one platform. Founded about 25 years ago, the company states it serves more than 7,000 organizations and 140 million users across more than 180 countries, including United Airlines, Nestlé, Samsung and Novartis.

• Maps where AI will change a roleThe Future of Work Agent maps which tasks in a role AI is likely to automate, assist or leave to humans, producing a reskilling plan and readiness timeline in weeks instead of a months-long manual workforce study.
• Builds and maintains job architectureThe Skills Architect agent builds and maintains a company's job architecture and shows where skills gaps sit at the individual, team or organization level, instead of HR maintaining role definitions in a static spreadsheet.
• Guides employees through a readiness planThe Embark Navigator combines learning, mentoring and real-world practice into a step-by-step guide for an employee working toward a new role, tracking progress along the way rather than leaving development to a generic course catalog.
• Infers skills from existing activityThe Skills Inference Model reads existing learning, performance and work data to infer a person's skills automatically, giving HR a usable skills profile without asking every employee to self-report their own competencies.

• Holds ISO 42001 certification specifically for AI governance alongside ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 27701 and GDPR compliance.
• Authorized under FedRAMP Moderate for US federal government customers in addition to its commercial enterprise product.
• Combines learning, recruiting, performance, succession and a talent marketplace in one platform rather than a single point tool.
• Reports about half of the Fortune 100 as customers, spanning public sector, healthcare, manufacturing and higher education.

Cornerstone OnDemand is a US company, and its homepage says 50 percent of the Fortune 100 use the platform, with named US customers such as United Airlines and UPS.

Cornerstone does not publish prices; cost depends on company size and the modules selected, confirmed through a sales conversation. Because Skills Architect and the Future of Work Agent infer skills and map roles from performance and activity data, a German entity should review Section 87 BetrVG co-determination, and since some uses touch recruiting, promotion or performance evaluation, the EU AI Act's high-risk obligations for those areas apply from December 2, 2027.

• No federal employee privacy law, a state patchwork instead
• NYC requires bias audits for AI hiring tools
• Illinois bans discriminatory AI in employment decisions
