Brightmove vs. Paradox Conversational ATS

Brightmove is well suited to a large active team of recruiters. It is too expensive to be good for a smaller shop, especially if there are several users. If you are considering this product, I recommend that you ask about upgrades and improvements, "up time", what the service response is like, what new interfaces they are planning, what will be included in the next release, and how that new release will be communicated in advance

While my company is not in the high volume hiring space, it appears to be built very effectively to support high volume hiring positions and companies, reducing recruiting efforts around the initial stages of the screening process. The paradox is good at quickly integrating into your Mail Server System (like Outlook) to get their scheduling product up quickly as a baseline.

• The overall ease of use. The functionality of all of the features are simple.
• The ability to navigate through the various features makes the screening process more efficient.
• Keeping track of candidates and job files.
• Cross-posting of job announcements across 15 job boards.

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.

• UI - Their UI is very mobile-focused; we are not a mobile-first company when it comes to our candidate's experience. It would be great if the experience was just as seamless and welcoming for the desktop as it was for mobile.
• Adding interviewers is not intuitive; it usually is a pain point for new users.

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

Brightmove is visually appealing and easy to use. It has great functionality when it comes to looking at the candidate page, job page, or a dashboard that is fully customizable. Brightmove makes it easy to post jobs to internal sites and external sites. It does lack on the corporate recruiting side, but not enough for it to not be looked at

Incentivized

• 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.
