Avionté Software vs. Sage HRMS

Very good for applicant/candidate/job activity tracking. It could use improvement in the area of Customer Relationship Management. It does not have a robust CRM function, which would be very beneficial to have encompassed in the ATS system so everything is in one place.

Sage HRMS might be great for a smaller company under 1,000 employees. I would not recommend it for larger companies. It becomes too burdensome because many processes still have to be manual and reports take forever to process if you have too many records in your system

• The Google Chrome integration allows to have total control over the communications and sends the registry to Compas immediately. Also allows sending Google mail directly from the Compas app.
• Allows to keep track of the whole work history and experience of each one of the employees, start dates, interviews, pay rates and termination reasons, as well as to send mass emails and text messages to employees.
• It's fully customizable if you need to add a specific feature their support and is responsive and allows the intended customization.
• It is a great reporting tool. You can track the performance and activities of your recruiters, make sure they are doing the pertinent contacts and follow-ups and complete their assigned tasks, also allows pulling reports on employees placed on assignment.

• Reporting - there are three levels of reporting - 1. Standard Reports 2. Query Tool - users can create very simple list with some filtering functionality 3. Crystal Reports - user can create very simple to complex report pulling data from multiple table, calculated fields, etc.
• Benefit Tracking - benefit plans are setup utilizing rate tables therefore rate changes are updated globally
• Payroll - everyday payroll processing and tax filing that is very user friendly

• If candidates submit a cover letter, it is only accessible through the "docs" tab. Or if they are nominated to the Hiring Manager and then the attachments come through. Other than that, there is no easy way to tell if a candidate has submitted a cover letter other than manually opening each candidate profile up. It would be nice if Hiring Managers could see if there is a cover letter attachment in the pipeline overview.
• Emails aren't syncing properly from Gmail. I wish that once we sent a candidate a Gmail from Compass that all subsequent threads/ replies would be tracked in Compass so it would be all in on place.. easy to reference.
• You can't move applicants from pipeline to the nominated status. It would be nice if there was most flexibility between moving candidates from pipeline to pipeline and to the nominated status.

• It is sometimes hard to identify parts of competency/compensation history. We built tables to store this data but it is not laid out well on the screen.
• Sometimes, even when you tell the system to "Add to History" it doesn't update so there is history missing. This impacts someone that relies on history for troubleshooting and reports.

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

There isn't much training provided outside of internal training across our company. Also, if Avionté Software could review the way we're using the software, on a regular basis, and provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve the user experience, that would be very beneficial.

Avionté is more modern than PCR. I also know a lot of functions in PCR (that I didn't use) were more clunky than they are in Avionte. Avionté is also more suited for the account management and sales side of our business than PCR was, whereas PCR was more geared towards recruiters exclusively.

Sage HRMS is popular and it's used in most organizations due to the reputation of Sage in coming up with popular and reliable business softwares. The software is not that expensive and after learning how to use it, everything becomes smooth and perfect. It's ultimate strength lies in payroll management and helping in applicant tracking capabilities

• The application crashed for three business days last year.
• The movement is very easy so it is fast to send statements as long as no credit or revision.
• For the cost it gets all jobs done so that is positive.

Incentivized

• Sage HRMS allowed us to manage payroll in house.
• It was disappointing that we had to use an outside vendor to file and pay our withholding tax.
• Ultimately, the decision was made to outsource payroll after using HRMS for 3 years.
