Professional in Human Resources (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Applicant tracking
  • Provides a number of ways to source for candidates
  • Some customizable features, but there could be more

Cons

  • The reporting features (data insight tool) need a massive upgrade. It is not user friendly, very slow, and clunky.
  • It would be great to have more options to customize & add different pages/views.
  • Having an integrated scheduling feature would be great, syncing up with an Outlook calendar.

Return on Investment

  • In my opinion, there are other ATS systems that would provide a better ROI.

A steep learning curve post go live

Brent MorffewView profile
Global Recruitment Administrator in Human Resources at Danfoss (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • We can build/configure as required, to respond to both planned and ad-hoc business requirements.
  • Global sparring and knowledge about global recruitment issues, which are not always ATS related.
  • Customizable automations are fantastic

Cons

  • A Client Services Consultant is pretty much required to navigate between bugs and the global support center. A Workbench trained administrator is invaluable.
  • Once languages have been added to a requisition, it is not possible to remove them without rebuilding the req and sending it for approval again. Many defaults point to the system having been originally designed to for system users to only work within a single req language.
  • Reported issues seem to too frequently end up in a loop between the 1st and 2nd level of support, or returned as being fixed, when it isn't.
  • Too many bugs, especially following a release of a new functionality.
  • The system is designed for all users to access the system, even though it may be sold as data can be accessed via emails. Out of system approvals and notifications are disappointing.
  • Too many functionalities which would help usibility are only available to standard fields, which for the most part are unusable.
  • Product releases are normally too far between and lacking functionalities which one would expect in 2014.
  • The Internet Explorer version supported is always behind, by at least one version, if not two.

Return on Investment

  • Transparency to business in regards to their requisition requests.
  • Compliance requirements are tightly adhered to.
  • Much improved screening and pipelining tools, and a very flexible UI, allowing users to see what is important for them.
