Considered Both Products
Lumesse (Discontinued)
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Lumesse is an average to abover average ATS in my opinion. We work with Lumesse because they came to us with our new client. I don't have an overall issue with Lumesse like I do with some other ATS's.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
I have used Taleo (implemented and user adminstrator) and Lumesse's access to international candidates/clients is better, however the user interface of Taleo was easier to manuver.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
The normal competitors like Taleo, Kenexa, etc. And since we were using SAP HR, we did actually used SAP before going to Lumesse.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
N/A - This is the only applicant tracking system I've used.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Lumesse is a basic ATS; I was not part of the decision to select Lumesse. It does not have features like Taleo or myStaffingPro where interviews can be directly scheduled. It also lacks SAP ability to directly send out assessments. Lumesse handles the most basic of functions …
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Each of the above products were more effective than Lumesse. I did not select Lumesse for our company, and would replace it with another system if given the opportunity. Jobvite was the most user-friendly ATS I have used. This system allows seamless integration with social …
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
PeopleSoft was broader than Lumesse, we integrated Lumesse with Workday and it was a good fit because each did things particularily well, and more effectively than PeopleSoft.

Lumesse is well suited for global companies, that are not too large and may get enough attention/support from other larger vendors.

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • It has open text boxes to add notes, on the individual candidate home page. Which is helpful when making a quick look at an individual, these notes are very obvious.
  • It has a search function; however it lacks a wild card (*); so if a req or candidate are spelled differently or referred to differently, there is no way to find them
  • Its a simple, no frills lay out

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • I have found the system to be very inconsistent and "buggy", for lack of a better term. Today I searched for an internal requisition number and the system could not find the data. I found it by scrolling through manually, and verified that I had entered the information precisely as it appeared. There seems to be no explanation as to why it could not locate this particular entry, but I have been able to use the function without a problem in other instances.
  • The navigation is not intuitive or user-friendly. It takes an exorbitant amount of clicks to accomplish a task. Each action is confusing and time-consuming.
  • The system requires a large amount of redundant information in order to enter a job and does not auto-populate. If I indicate a position is located in Chicago, it would logically follow that the state is "Illinois", the country is "United States", and the currency is "USD". I have to manually input these details in both the requisition as well as the separate job advertisement page.
  • Changes to the job requisition are not reflected in the job advertisement, as they are separate entities. If you need to make a change, you have to update the details twice.

This seems to work for us because of all the things we can do with the system (i.e. create all kinds of reports).

Return on Investment
Discontinued Products
  • Decreased employee efficiency -- There are so many steps to create an entry that our recruiters use the system as little as possible. We had hoped to use Lumesse for centralizing information and reporting, but have not been able to do so. Instead, each recruiter keeps a separate Excel sheet, defeating the purpose of having an ATS in the first place. We only use Lumesse to post to our website now. We are very disappointed.
