Considered Both Products
Vincere
Chose Vincere
I find vincere much easier to use, and I've found the support team infinitely faster and more knowledgable. On my previous platform I had a business restructure, and in changing my arrangement with the ATS provider, I had multiple, massive issues. I've not had any issues with …
Chose Vincere
For our Business Case, Vincere works fine.
Chose Vincere
Against JobAdder a similar product but independent of NZ job boards. Against Bullhorn a similar product but less expensive in terms of cost and integrations. This becomes more important as you scale our business.
Chose Vincere
Having recently migrated to Vincere, our team received demonstrations and sales presentations from 2 other competitors. We were by far impressed by many of the Vincere features, the support on offer, the ability to add on further integrations and the mobile app with built in …
Chose Vincere
We use them because of legacy - I really hope the customer service part get the investment it deserves.
Chose Vincere
Much more userfriendly and easier to use for pipeline management.
Chose Vincere
Vincere is a super powerful tool for recruitment. Recommend to both newcomers and existing users who are not Vincere. Minimize a lot of administration.
Chose Vincere
We used to use Bullhorn, but moved to Vincere due to poor customer service from BH.
Chose Vincere
I felt Vincere had the best features, was being developed the quickest and was the best value for money. very customizable as well.
Chose Vincere
I have used about four different recruitment systems over my 13 years in recruitment and what the others didn't offer me I found in Vincere, and this is why I made the decision to go with them.
Chose Vincere
I selected Vincere as it offered everything (on paper and in the demo) that Bullhorn did for half the price (the market leader at the time). I should have realised not every deal is a deal. The product from month one displayed performance issues with the speed of the product …
Chose Vincere
The interface and the bulk-activities. Even though the others are more customizable, Vincere.io definitely gives you plenty of freedom when doing other tasks.
Chose Vincere
I found that both had similar capabilities, I chose Vincere due to the great customer service and support and the value for money is unrivaled..
Chose Vincere
We came very close to signing with Bullhorn. To be fair it looks like a good system but we've heard stories from contacts of ours who have been burned by them. Also, we dealt with about 4 different salespeople during the sales cycle which didn't sit well with me. After being on …
Chose Vincere
Easier to use, better customer service, developing great new features based on customer feedback, great value for money.
Chose Vincere
Bullhorn were so slow to get us a proposal that they missed the boat. Plus, the costs were just too high for us to justify. The product looks good but I had doubts about their ability to follow through with decent support as I've heard horror stories about them over promising …

The training videos are a great tool for someone new to the system, and lines up really well with the ease of use that the system demonstrates overall - my team all watched these over the course of a week and became fairly proficient in using the system before we had it rolled out. Previously systems i have used haven't allowed for the extraction of financials in enough detail from the system. Vincere allows us to break our data down by contingent and retained, then by stage in order to truly see our pipeline in detail.

Pros
  • Candidate search functions are brilliant
  • Has multiple integrations
  • Is constantly coming up with innovative solutions
  • Being independent of major New Zealand job boards means increased security of information. It is more difficult for the duopoly job boards here to assess where our candidate applications originates from. This is relevant given the involvement one prominent job board has with a competing ATS system.

Cons
  • I would like to see the the recruitment process automated (e.g., when you move a candidate through the process that their status updates automatically and you don't need to do it manually yourself). When a candidate is going for an interview, the status at the top of their profile should automatically update. Then when they go for their first Interview, the status should automatically update and so on. Now you need to manually go and update all this, which is time consuming and can sometimes be forgotten.
  • The copy and paste function should be updated so that it can be used on all screens no mater where in the system you are, as not everyone knows how to do CRV files, etc. Copy/paste saves time for someone like me.

Usability
Great candidate management. A UI that could do with further visual development. Easy to use functions and great support from the Vincere team. Slightly clunky process for making a placement. Great candidate pics and star ratings. Overall easy of use that drives good adoption from my team

Return on Investment
  • Lots of time wasted trying to get support.
  • Wasted time migrating data to and from the product.
  • Slow refresh speeds with a simple candidate lookup taking so long we resort to using the mobile application.
  • The terrible CV formatting capabilities require us to use 3rd party products.
  • Lack of automation makes it a very time consuming product to manage work flows on.
  • Slowed down the function of the office considerably when you look at the Bugs, the lack of support, the poor work flow for the CRM element.
  • Misleading analytics resulted in the team simply not trusting the reporting which effected performance.
  • Being tied to a product that wasn't fit for purpose has been hugely frustrating.
