Crelate vs. Vincere

Crelate Talent is well suited for applicant management. It also works functionally well with other job boards and websites such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. Crelate Talent seems to be mainly used for a mid- to large-scale business rather than a small business, for an applicant tracking system, as the management features work best with an existing candidate pool.

The training videos are a great tool for someone new to the system, and lines up really well with the ease of use that the system demonstrates overall - my team all watched these over the course of a week and became fairly proficient in using the system before we had it rolled out. Previously systems i have used haven't allowed for the extraction of financials in enough detail from the system. Vincere allows us to break our data down by contingent and retained, then by stage in order to truly see our pipeline in detail.

• Drag and Drop - easy to move candidates through the recruitment process.
• Intuitive- easy to learn and manage.
• Interfaces well with emailing and texting.
• Built in support for MS Word.
• Knowledgeable support.
• Supports telephone click-to-dial.
• Easy to cross reference contact records using "@" symbol - very nice feature.
• Easy to import resumes and contacts through multiple solutions.

• Candidate search functions are brilliant
• Has multiple integrations
• Is constantly coming up with innovative solutions
• Being independent of major New Zealand job boards means increased security of information. It is more difficult for the duopoly job boards here to assess where our candidate applications originates from. This is relevant given the involvement one prominent job board has with a competing ATS system.

• Would love the option to add profile pictures

• I would like to see the the recruitment process automated (e.g., when you move a candidate through the process that their status updates automatically and you don't need to do it manually yourself). When a candidate is going for an interview, the status at the top of their profile should automatically update. Then when they go for their first Interview, the status should automatically update and so on. Now you need to manually go and update all this, which is time consuming and can sometimes be forgotten.
• The copy and paste function should be updated so that it can be used on all screens no mater where in the system you are, as not everyone knows how to do CRV files, etc. Copy/paste saves time for someone like me.

It works, but not sure that it's the best/we might try out alternatives first.

We just implemented Vincere and the chance of changing to a different soon is limited

Great candidate management. A UI that could do with further visual development. Easy to use functions and great support from the Vincere team. Slightly clunky process for making a placement. Great candidate pics and star ratings. Overall easy of use that drives good adoption from my team

Usually the Crelate support is very responsive and quick to fix any problems that arise. I've personally seen emails of the threads where Crelate support was quick to resolve problems and act courteously while doing so. While I have never called their line, it seems that their phone support is also well experienced.

Our Implementation Consultant Alan is super helpful 10/10 recommend!! If I have a question he gets in contact super fast. If he does not have an answer right away he talks to other departments and gets back in thouch within 48 hours. He was definitely the most helpful person out of everyone we talked to

My two favorite systems are Crelate and Recruitee.

• From my experience, Crelate is the best full-service database because it allows you to track Business Development and candidate activity
• Recruitee is very effective as an applicant tracking system

I find vincere much easier to use, and I've found the support team infinitely faster and more knowledgable. On my previous platform I had a business restructure, and in changing my arrangement with the ATS provider, I had multiple, massive issues. I've not had any issues with Vincere thus far

• Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
• We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
• We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap

• Lots of time wasted trying to get support.
• Wasted time migrating data to and from the product.
• Slow refresh speeds with a simple candidate lookup taking so long we resort to using the mobile application.
• The terrible CV formatting capabilities require us to use 3rd party products.
• Lack of automation makes it a very time consuming product to manage work flows on.
• Slowed down the function of the office considerably when you look at the Bugs, the lack of support, the poor work flow for the CRM element.
• Misleading analytics resulted in the team simply not trusting the reporting which effected performance.
• Being tied to a product that wasn't fit for purpose has been hugely frustrating.
