Likelihood to Recommend The specific scenarios where it was well suited was scaling out. We were able to set up the system for our initial pilot and scale out in a short period of time. The system is just as dependable and workable with a small numbers of participants as it is with larger and larger sets. Even as it grew out it still reflected a personal touch to the users which is very important for software like this. It is not that it is inappropriate but would be challenging in a severely fragmented organization. That is scenario where there are two essential functions going on with the organization which are acting as separate companies - but this is a note concerning a specific experience with a company in India where they were operating in two distinctly different states with totally different expectations and behaviors.

Also, adjusting hours for artists is pretty quick which is useful when needing to do something right away, especially on a meeting call.
Read full review Pros Automating Surveys Communicating with the entire group of workers at the client facilities Gathering together information for Talent Matching Read full review It is very easy to know which employees have a detachment in the activities they carry out. What I like the most about Deltek is that it allows me to visualize in real time, the performance that each employee has had depending on the assignments fulfilled in the labor sector. The real-time reports are very detailed, it offers information on work time, the activities carried out, assignments fulfilled and not fulfilled, and it also performs an automated process to know how effective each of the assignments fulfilled has brought to the company. It has excellent integration with our workforce management software. This integration is what has allowed us to obtain these great results, since it allows us to transfer all the data collected about the work of each employee, and automates the analysis of the data collected, providing us with a detailed report on the performance and prominence of the various employees. The support and technical assistance Deltek provides is second to none. When I started using this software in my Marketing sector, I had several questions about the compensation system and how I could apply it to my employees. The doubts were answered in a live chat, with precise answers. Read full review Cons Succession planning could use a little work but really the shortfalls had to do with client idiosyncrasies Ethics lifeline was a little hard to reign in, the executives at our client were very fussy for all the wrong reasons - no pun intended Compensation Planning was also hard to work with but once again it was internal problems at the client that caused these slowdowns Read full review The user interface is crammed with stuff and it's sometimes hard to find where you need to be at any given time. For example, you can't just use the search bar to find all people in the system named "Maria". You need to know whether she is a "resume", a "candidate" or an "employee", or use one of the menus to search in a different window. It's not very Canadian-friendly. The options for cross posting are mostly American or Spanish. The onboarding isn't the greatest. They have lots of options for creating e-signable documents, but some of the most necessary information (like tax forms) are not able to be e-signed, so candidates were having to do some forms online and print some off and they were getting very confused and we had to scrap the whole endeavour.

It is wonderful to see it exceed these expectations. It is a pleasure to work with as are the representatives from the company. They are helpful, concerned and expert in their duties.

Read full review Usability HRSmart is a basic, antiquated ATS that does not meet current challenges organizations face. Reporting and analytics is basic.
Read full review Support Rating Deltek provides adequate support for their products and I have had no complaints at all with their customer support and time to help fix the problems.
Read full review Alternatives Considered BullseyeEngagement towers over their competitors. We selected them as a result of careful research for our internal uses. We brought them along to our clients because of our personal experience. The staff at BullseyeEngagement are themselves engaged and active. They were forthcoming, cooperative and helpful. Their product is polished, well made, dependable and logical and easy to operate. Even though it is easy to work with it provides the complex sort of work necessary when carefully setting up a fair system of evaluation and employee development.
Read full review HRSmart would actually be my last choice of these (
lynda.com isn't an ATS so it would come in ahead, but the training on
lynda.com is excellent). We are actually switching over to
BirdDogHR based on functionality, price, usage and ease of use. HRSmart is an ok system, but there are better and more affordable options out there.
Read full review Return on Investment The return on investment for us focused on the flexibility of the product When using the software directly and when adapting it for our clients the time frame for development and installation and use was very short The quality of the outputs and the ease with which the system was put in place was extraordinary and saved us money even during the replacement period as it replaced the outdated system in place at our client Read full review Absolutely improved our candidate managemenr capability. Before we simply had three piles of resumes on our desk for each position (yes, no, and not yet reviewed). HRSmart changed all of that. Our cost per hire was positively affected. We were hiring at a high volume and this soltion facilitated us doing that very efficiently. Our ability to share candidates across open positions turned out to be a huge plus. Not having to copy or scan resumes and send them via interoffice mail was HUGE in terms of efficiency gain. HRSmart made it easier for candidates to apply for openings and that increased our applicant flow for open/posted positions. This translates into better hires in the end.
