ApplicantPro vs. Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud Front Office

I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19.

Any staffing company, IT or in any field, would benefit from selecting JobScience over any other ATS out there, in my opinion. It's the best of breed. It may not be as good a choice for an internal corporate system, as it has a lot of focus on prospecting and client management (being based on Salesforce) and less of a focus on the HR aspects of hiring.

• Integration with BambooHR for when someone is hired
• Posting to a very wide variety of job boards
• Having job templates so you don't have to redo listings

• Dashboards: Jobscience allows each end user to have dashboards that are tailored for their position, and you're able to create several different dashboards.
• Actiongrid: This is a function we use within Jobscience that allows us to filter our settings to match candidates to available positions.
• Packets: We create packets with Jobscience via Conga that allow us to highlight crucial information for candidates.
• Logging activity: Their simple features allow us to keep track of every candidate record from many years ago.

• While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault).

• The activity tracking would be great if it included live updates. Currently, the updates are delayed by a couple of hours.
• The task/to-do list/calendar feature needs improvement. More ways to sort and filter the pending tasks would be helpful.
• It lacks the ability to run more reports.

It is a solid product that is easy to use and implement.

These two systems are similar in that they track applicants, can store offers, automate email responses and allow easy job posting. I think that PeopleSoft is a little more advanced and has more overall options/safeguards, where as ApplicantPro is still in a learning phase both within themselves and for us as a company

In addition to Jobscience we considered Talent Rover, Bullhorn, and JobDiva.

• We eliminated JobDiva first because it was nowhere near flexible enough to support our ways of doing business.
• Next we decided that TalentRover, despite being a powerful system that was also built on Salesforce, should no longer be considered because it wasn't as strong a contender as Jobscience, and we didn't need two Salesforce-based systems in the running.
• Lastly, Bullhorn made it to the final round and despite the fact that its front-office product is phenomenal we had to pass on them because their back-office product was vastly inferior to what Jobscience could provide.

• Spotlighting applications to hiring managers has been very helpful.
• The @Notes feature is a great tool.
• Texting feature is great.
• Custom creation of Inbox Templates is very useful.
• Great reporting features.

• My company heavily relies on Jobscience- it's very helpful at tracking our candidates and jobs all in 1 place.
• Reports - it helps us compare our objectives and goals to our performance and can be personalized and pull specific information.
• Glitches - there are times when Jobscience isn't saving things properly or the format gets messed up after being saved (for example: saving resumes - sometimes they don't download properly and when you open the file from the candidate's page, the formatting is very off).
