Poor UI and UX, requires lots of improvements to the UI & UX

Pros

  • Created an automated process to hire a contractor.

Cons

  • Provide more information on active requests.
  • Provide more information on the consultant's time sheet to know which job they are charging for.
  • Better menu and easier navigation.

Return on Investment

  • More time was wasted in the process of hiring a subcontractor. There should be an easier and more straightforward manner.

Beeline from a Staffing agency perspective

Sourcing Manager & Recruiter at Rylem (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Sorting open requests - it's easy to set up filters and a sort order for open roles. That makes it easy to navigate.
  • Email notifications - there are plenty, but they are real time and always let us know any changes or updates immediately.

Cons

  • Reporting - should be simplified and more intuitive.
  • Submitting candidates to multiple requests.
  • Simplifying overall layout and UI would be great. Many clicks are needed to get to certain screens. For example adjusting contractor info takes a little getting used to and finding the right page in the first place.

Return on Investment

  • This doesn't apply. We have to use Beeline to have access to Amazon and other VMS.

Beeline - an average VMS

Recruiting Manager in Human Resources at Quantix, Inc. (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Beeline does manage job requirements and vendors. Based on what I know, it allows managers to select vendors to work on different job requirements.
  • I like that there are some ATSs out there that integrate with Beeline. I assume that Beeline has opened their API to those ATS companies and allowed the integration - when set up, it is definitely helpful to a staffing vendor.
  • Beeline, like all VMSs, allows the end client to control costs and is supposed to be vendor agnostic and allow for an even playing field between vendors.

Cons

  • I assume this might be due to the implementation of it by the end client, but the version I use now is completely un-intuitive, if that's a word. It's the opposite of intuitive. Nothing is where you think it would be, and nothing flows easily.
  • I think it needs to be simplified. The staff augmentation process isn't difficult, and I think there should be a way to make that process somewhat separate from all the HR and reporting things that go on.

Return on Investment

  • I can't comment on ROI for our individual business, as I am simply a user of the system rather than someone who implemented it as a VMS. I would imagine most companies who use it have realized a positive ROI mostly because it seems that the vendors are the ones who foot the bill, rather than the end client implementing it! It's easy to have a high ROI when your cost to implement is very low and paid by vendors.
