CATS ATS vs LinkedIn Talent Hub

• Custom fields for all entities of any data type let's you track what you care about. Also customizable workflow with triggers can save a ton of time in automating processes and also ensuring steps aren't missed/established processes and protocols are adhered to.
• Support is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and committed to resolving any issue.
• Integrations with LinkedIn, job boards etc. is a big time saver and helps bring it all to one place.

• Source of talent - LinkedIn has become the #1 place to engage talent.
• Targeting / advertising / sponsoring employment ads are very effective. They are costly, but effective.
• Connecting with talent via InMails and ability to send InMails to a pretty targeted audience with ease is great. This allows you to reach out/connect fast with people that "fit" what you are looking for. Other sites for recruiting, etc. are hit and miss. The quality of results is the strongest on LinkedIn and has been for many, many years.

• Reporting has improved over the years but could still be better. It is what I would call "semi-customizable" in terms of what I can generate a report on, but would like full customization capability.
• Mobile access is OK but not slick. Usually I don't need mobile access but every once in a while I'm out somewhere, need to grab something out of CATS and I can get it but I think there's a good opportunity to make it better.

• Reporting. Major lacking here. If a job is closed then reopened (which that feature was recently removed), all reporting is wiped clean and picked back up with the "reopen" date. So it doesn't give a full history of the job activity.
• Lacks adequate approvals in the system.
• If you're a company with a risk of audits, I would not recommend Talent Hub. They lack compliance: the system allows us to "hire" someone who never applied to the job. Req history could be incomplete with the way reporting functions are set up. The system puts passive "sourced" candidates and applicants in the same bucket for pipeline workflows. Disposition status is inadequate and greatly lacking, etc.
• Dashboard is not customizable.
• We do not have our own unique req IDs. The system generates project IDs but these numbers are shared with all their clients, they're not unique to Ora so they are somewhat random and not in order.
• They do not differentiate between a networking project and an approved requisition.
• There's more, too many to list.

• Positive impact. The tool has helped us in finding quality candidates for our hard to fill positions!
• Helps in “pipelining” even after we fill a position, we make a folder of prospective candidates that we find through the platform. This list is then revisited once we have additional positions!
• Outreach to global candidates. We have an office in Spain and we have found so many qualified candidates on the platform to fill those positions!
