AkkenCloud vs CareerBuilder Applicant Tracking (formerly Luceo)

Likelihood to Recommend

Akken could be described to be suitable for a staffing company but just spend more money on a product that is worthwhile. It is really a terrible ATS and it's a sad fact that I was not here for the selection process. Apparently people pushed for Bullhorn but it was deemed too expensive. That is shortsighted.

Luceo is well suited for small to medium sized companies, with not too many users.

Pros

Automatically keeps a record of activities such as email conversations related to a candidate.
Time and date stamp on events logged to a candidate and customer is a great resource.
Completing full company profiles with all contacts is very helpful for later efficiency.

It provided real time data, with readable reports.
It makes posting jobs easier, post in the system, and it blasts to job boards.
The metrics available to time to fill, etc., are user friendly, and creating reports is simple.

Search tool has limits. You can key word search, and that is about it.
When reading a resume for one job respondent in a requisition, I would like to stay in that same viewing mode when jumping to the next candidate with less clicks!

There is no reason for us to make a switch. Everybody in the office is familiar with it and it allows us to get our work done faster. There are no pressing issues that would warrant a change at this point

Akken is quite easy to use however there are a few more complex functions or multi steps to go through to run reports and find historic information.

It's an average tool. The calendar function isn't great, email is slow, and there always seem to be day-to-day issues. The functionality is mostly there for a staffing firm, but there are plenty of areas of improvement still needed

I give it a 1 because I couldn't give it a Zero. Horrible functionality, very ugly interface, and incredibly unfriendly to use. This system will offer nothing positive. It will only slow you down and make your workplace much more inefficient. If you are in the staffing industry where fast-paced is a way of life, this will only hurt you in the end.

We preferred the ability to go with Mac computers. That was the number one selling point for us. Besides that we liked the ease of the product. The email interface looked exactly like Outlook. The calendar the same. The price was also a big selling point. It came in slightly cheaper than Bullhorn and other systems and in our opinion a better product.

Taleo, and ZipRecruiter. It has very similar features to ZipRecruiter but it is much more readable, and has actual reports to use. Taleo is too big.

I'm unfamiliar with the ways AkkenCloud affected positively or negatively affected our overall business objectives.
For my position, AkkenCloud served it's purpose.
