Avature CRM vs. Brightmove

It is very helpful in saving time by sending emails automatically to selected candidates.

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.

• Simplicity - HR specialists and recruiters using the software will be able to use data and analytics to track the progress of their prospective candidates.
• Versatility - Avature's customer service team will work with you to build a customized workflow.
• Flexibility - The ability to update and change the system ensures that this platform will continue to serve organizations today as well as tomorrow. As the last 24 months have shown, organizations must adapt to the changing workforce.

• Brightmove is intuitive and easy to learn and to use. It interfaces well with social media.
• Brightmove has good capabilities to build interfaces to other systems, such as a background checking system.
• In addition, Brightmove has a good record of being available.

• Some of the better parts of the CRM system must be purchased.
• Reporting could be easier/better, kind of cumbersome to run a report.

Incentivized

• 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

Great and fast responses, always available during implementation phase.

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

The system is extremely innovative and easy to use, it permits a great deal of bolt-ins during a standard format so the system will be personalized to the company’s wants and of those who will be exploiting the system.

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.

• 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.
