Vincere vs. iSmartRecruit

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.

The cost-effectiveness and flexibility of iSmartRecruit are impressive. It's a strategic investment that yields significant returns in recruitment success, in our opinion. Therefore, we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking top-tier recruitment software.

• 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.

• Easy and quick access to clients, candidates, jobs and prospects.
• Posting our jobs to our websites.
• Uploading and parsing candidate resumes is simple.
• Keeping track of our placements or the candidates we don't place (and notes about why) help us as we consider people for future opportunities.

• 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.

• Every system has some room for improvement. But no major issues were found, so it’s completely fine.
• he system comes with many features and is easy to use, but it still requires some form of training to use it to the fullest and get maximum advantages.
• Every staffing agency business has different needs and requirements. iSmartRecruit helps us to do that. Very quick to respond to requests. Sometimes, it may take more time if the requirement is complex.

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

Incentivized

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

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

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

We looked at a number of other systems that were not as comprehensive. Many were priced above our budget, and we know customer service would not have been as good

• 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.

• 100% ROI and increased recruitment growth.
• Strong tracking of jobs and candidates, insightful reports & recruiting analysis.
• I must say that iSmartRecruit has all teh features which are require of an ATS.
