    I think our environment has stretched SmS and their capabilities (positively) but we have grown together and developed an enormously capable system together that is now very well integrated into our business. For doing applicant tracking, requisition management and offer management that has really been strong. I think we can partner together and build some better analytics and reporting capabilities that would be better suited for our business.

    Turbohire is well suited for small companies where they do not have big data and not very big pipeline is made on daily basis. For basic needs it does a good task. Big companies which have huge data and needs to add heavy data everyday, Turbohire won't be effective for such companies. Such companies need reports on each and every big and minute things which is missing in this ATS.

    Pros
    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    • The search functions are outstanding. It is the reason we originally went with SmartSearch many years ago. The ability to do very simple or complex searches gives the recruiting staff great flexibility in how they look for and narrow down candidates.
    • The hire and onboarding traks allow us to create very specific processes we want our staff to follow to insure a consistent and repeatable result. I can create traks that can be very general or traks that literally provide emails and reminders to all of the players (recruiters, managers, candidates, etc...) every step of the way. This is particularly helpful where we have customers who have extremely stringent contractual guidelines that must be followed.
    • Support. Their customer support is second to none. We always joke that they are our favorite vendor to deal with.... Anytime we have an issue or question. They are there to walk us through it. The training is on target and the staff has always been friendly and more than eager to help make us successful with the tool.

    Cons
    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    • SmartSearch has a steep learning curve if you want to extensively use the features like automated tasks and the report writer
    • Technical support is spotty and sometimes very frustrating, they don't respond for weeks at a time.
    • SmartSearch user interface is old and has far less ability to customize the interface than other tracking systems
    • SmartSearch has virtually no ability to connect directly with other software and allows now other software to connect in - so no Microsoft Flow, no Zapier, no mail parser, etc. and since Smart Search capabilities are limited, not being able to integrate it with other platforms easily is unfortunate.

    • While adding a resume in the ATS, very often the resume is not read and had to re do it. It sometimes ask to put the resume in a particular format which is annoying.
    • Turbohire is missing one major feature of detailed reports of the candidates. The weekly and monthly reports really helps in keeping a track on the pipeline and performance, which should be added.
    • Sometimes it won't show a candidate while searching from emailid or mobile number, which creates duplicity.

    I believe over the past 30 or so pages (or so it seems), you have every reason for my business to continue as a SmartSearch ATS client and user. The support is off the charts great the few times I need them (generally not even once per year). My business has been a client since 2004. That should say it all.

    Usability
    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    There are so many facets of SmartSearch, that to know everything about it is nearly impossible. While it is mainly straight forward, there is a lot. After using the program for a while, you become pretty comfortable with the basics and can start adding some of the other features.

    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    Once you get the 1 person on the phone they are very knowledgeable and tend to solve the problem. The issue is there are not enough resources to handle all the clients. Their primary clients are "recruiting firms" and I think that is where most of the their support resources go

    Implementation Rating
    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    Using the basic functions of SmartSearch is an easy implementation. But consider carefully what your organization needs to really drive placements. Because we only did a basic implementation first, we were caught off guard when later trying to implement more functions and realizing that the capabilities were limited or were difficult to learn and implement and realizing that tech support was not going to be consistent.

    Functionally, SmartSearch is not on the same page as ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter as a platform is much more geared toward helping applicants and is essentially a glorified resume database. SmartSearch offers so much more in terms of features and abilities, that would not really be appropriate to try and compare the two. Similarly, the overall use of SmartSearch is an apples and oranges comparison to LinkedIn Talent. LinkedIn is great for sourcing and attracting talent, but in terms of tracking candidates all the way through a hiring process and tracking a heavy volume of job orders across a variety of states and locations, the two just don't really compare.

    Return on Investment
    Advanced Personnel Systems (SmartSearch)
    • That's easy - they have helped us grown and make more money. The core element of their technology (e.g. the ability to search for, identify and contact candidates is excellent).
    • They are a business partner and do their very best to help us succeed.

    • Turbohire is relatively cheaper comparing to other few similar software available in the market.
    • It's cost effective ATS to start with and to get shifted to an ATS from traditional methods of Excel or sheets.
    • Pretty simple to use, so the transition is really smooth and hassle free.
    • Overall Turbohire is having positive impact on ROI, advisable for small and medium sized companies.
