    ApplicantPro is well suited in a environment where an employer isn't hiring a ton of people - this is because ApplicantPro is built with some automation, but you do have to pay attention to each individual candidate. ApplicantPro would be less well suited for a company looking to hire a lot of people or a company where they want to post a ton of different jobs

    If you want a full-service ATS and will use the tool to post jobs and track candidates, Brightmove is a very solid tool. They are adding functionality and making it more robust. In our case, we ended up just using it for resume repository and management and so the solution essentially outgrew us such that the price structure and options are no longer competitive or make as much sense as when we first started using the tool.

    • Brightmove could offer more detailed and user friendly reports.
    • Brightmove could add more screening questions to applicants when they are applying to a job. The feature that is already there is not really useful.
    • Brightmove needs to separate internal applicants from external applicants.

    Brightmove has worked well as we are a company with 120 employees. For as long as we stay around this size, we will continue with Brightmove, but as we grow we will start looking for an ATS that can directly tie into our CRM (NetSuite). The price point is great for the functionality when compared to other ATS solutions

    The Customer Support is the best part of using this ATS vs others. They have a chat feature on the home page where you can ask a question and have a Customer Service rep help you in less than a minute. I have found that to be invaluable and a life saver on several occasions. I'm not sure you get that kind of service from a bigger ATS provider.

    The Info Tech conversion and implementation team was too small to meet our needs

    We tried using BambooHR's built in job applications. It didn't post to near as many job sites and that is why we switched.

    Brightmove seems to be pretty similar to Vurv, but overall the functionality of the other systems I have used has been better. I didn't select to implement Brightmove, it was already in place when I joined the company.

    Return on Investment

    • ApplicantPro has given us a cost-efficient way of getting our jobs out to several free job sites and does a great job of integrating with Indeed.
    • We typically get a great flow of candidates when we post with ApplicantPro.

    • Positive ROI in terms of time spent by our recruiting team. Our old ATS was clunky and forced users to spend more time on mundane tasks.
    • Positive ROI in terms of connecting without outside job boards and finding job candidates.
    • Positive ROI in terms of motivating our team by seeing their numbers in an easy to understand/read dashboard.
