Dice TalentSearch vs. Zalvis ATS (discontinued)

DICE Open Web works well when you want to find IT specific candidates that are available in your local area. What I particularly like is that if you post a job, Dice Open Web/Talent Search will return potential candidates that meet your requirements. It is a proactive way they provide candidates from what you could do manually using their IntelliSearch tool to find candidates. I find that DICE is overall much more effective when you have a job to post and the candidates apply rather than doing a blind search. There are too many factors that make candidates returned by DICE Open Web not necessarily interested in your position. When candidates apply they have shown interest and then you can apply the Screener tool to help narrow the pool.

With the powerful applicant tracking features provided by Zalvis ATS, HR can effectively manage the whole hiring process, from the receipt of applications to the onboarding of applicants. It makes it possible to track candidate information, resumes, interview times, and feedback, expediting the hiring process. The app could be much better as compared to the website. Sometimes it lags when using mobile application. It could be better . Other wise it is useful.

• easy to use - web interface is very user friendly
• easy to customize email templates
• easy to set notifications and alerts for applicants or for job listings by other teams
• easy to find same type of jobs across teams in one place

Incentivized

• Zalvis can schedule the interviews of applicants
• It can also send offer letters
• It does also support applicant ratings

• Dice Open Web seemed to not be able to keep up with other platforms and some features and functionality were either missing or quickly became obsolete.
• It doesn't really seem to remain competitive on the landscape and feel behind in product release and feature updates.
• Some information was outdated and didn't get regularly refreshed or updated it seemed. Just kind of churning the same information as before or the lack of reach was evident over time.

Incentivized

• We encounter restrictions in terms of how much they can modify the system to meet their unique needs.
• Customers who want to use third-party tools or systems that are not a part of the Zalvis ecosystem may encounter integration problems.
• Video interview feature is missing.

I'm assuming we will keep using DICE, but Indeed and LinkedIn are starting to prove their value and strength in having candidates/consultants use their services to look for new opportunities.

Incentivized

Its already I mentioned it is used to search the resumes of relevant profile upon the request of clients requirement. comfortable with filters to validate the profile before the resumes open. Can be able to locate the profile which the recruiter is willing to work on the requirement. Little more costly when compared to other job portals.

Dice provides ease of sourcing candidates and is the most useful in staffing industry. However, we still recommend the team to provide older version access to the user which was much easier and flexible to use. Dice posting is the best feature in Dice. The Boolean Search feature in Dice is also very useful.

Incentivized

I received multiple candidates only after hours of posting my jobs on other sites. And for a fraction of the cost! I not only received quality candidates but also candidates who actually matched my requirements. These sites also have the option for proactive outreach and pay-by-click options as well. Some also provide free trials, which Dice does not.

• It’s a great portal to use and has many useful features which helps us to search relevant profiles as per client's need.
• Dice really helped us to improve our business as we have closed many candidates through Dice.
• I feel Dice should improve their new search, as it's not highlighting most of the keywords.

Incentivized

• We have hired 3 candidates by using this software. The employees are extremely knowledgeable in their fields, so this software make it possible to make the best use of it.
• We have reduced our hiring expenses by one third by using Zalvis ATS
• Hiring time also has been reduced from 30 days to 10/13 days.
