Avionté Software ATS Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as an ATS to track applicants, candidates, employees, and client activity. It streamlines processes with everything in one place. There are many integrated vendor partners that can add to the tech stack based on individual company needs. We also use it for payroll processing for contract workers and internal employees, as well.

Pros

  • Tracks applicant activity on open job orders.
  • Provides recruiting analytics.
  • All in one software system.

Cons

  • Support Center needs to be updated...a lot of links that go to pages that are no longer available, and the ability to find things when entering key words to search on. It is very hard to find answers when searching.
  • Hire dates and rate change functionality.
  • Reports need a serious makeover and be tailored to pull information related to the report you're running, and not have to export and format every report we run.

Return on Investment

  • With the need to have a tech stack to be competitive, the cost basically is just a shift from doing it one way, to doing it another way, so not true cost savings...just a cost change.
  • Allows leadership to easily track user activity allowing for process improvement.

Avionte is not bells and whistles - it is tasks and needs ready to go! No fluff!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Avionte provided us a one-stop shop for entering clients and entering the temp staff to work orders and then the ability to invoice and send statements to the clients' accounts. It allowed for cash posting all within the same system which makes it very ideal for reporting and the uploading was never inaccurate. It is very user-friendly but on the basic side. You do have to understand how is basic accounting and that you have to be mindful of how it reads. Overall very easy and supplied everything you would need in the staffing world. There was nothing that we noticed missing except in the accounting world the view is a little more basic but you can make it what you need. The customer service is very helpful.

Pros

  • Work orders based on worksite
  • Placing candidates
  • Invoicing
  • Payroll flexibility

Cons

  • Accounting side
  • Report View of payments in full not most recent payment

Return on Investment

  • The application crashed for three business days last year.
  • The movement is very easy so it is fast to send statements as long as no credit or revision.
  • For the cost it gets all jobs done so that is positive.

Avionté is a good, solid recruitment and account management ATS for staffing agencies

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a recruiting agency with a diverse client base, we use Avionté as a tracking system and database for our candidates, clients, and job requisitions. We are able to track candidates through a job pipeline, log all of our activities and communication with applicants and clients, and integrate with other applications such as Outlook email sync. My favorite feature is "tearsheets," which are customizable rollup lists of candidates.

Pros

  • Applicant pipelining and tracking
  • Storage and organization
  • Customizability for adding new options such as new pipeline stages, new activity types, etc.
  • Outlook integration - tracks our email communication with candidates automatically.

Cons

  • Downtime. Avionté frequently has outages and often our entire organization is affected.
  • Echo tool - Avionté's Chrome extension is slow, resets itself often, and causes memory leaks on Google Chrome.
  • No way to send alerts for job closure. We can set Avionté to trigger a notification to the entire organization when we open a new job, but there is no equivalent for when we close a job.
  • Avionté does not offer an easy, at-a-glance way to view details profiles that are presumed duplicates of other profiles--you have to manually open every presumed duplicate profile. I wish it showed a quick preview that included the candidate's location and job title and other pertinent details to help ID duplicates.

Return on Investment

  • Avionté makes it easier for us to track things going on in our business.
  • Avionté makes it easier for account management and recruiting teams to collaborate.

Compas is good as an ATS but could be a better tool with more payroll related tools.

Pros

  • The Google Chrome integration allows to have total control over the communications and sends the registry to Compas immediately. Also allows sending Google mail directly from the Compas app.
  • Allows to keep track of the whole work history and experience of each one of the employees, start dates, interviews, pay rates and termination reasons, as well as to send mass emails and text messages to employees.
  • It's fully customizable if you need to add a specific feature their support and is responsive and allows the intended customization.
  • It is a great reporting tool. You can track the performance and activities of your recruiters, make sure they are doing the pertinent contacts and follow-ups and complete their assigned tasks, also allows pulling reports on employees placed on assignment.

Cons

  • It doesn't allow for much control on changes that are done. All employees have access to modify other employees information, it has an audit trail and would show who made the changes and what the previous information was even if these are easily fixed situations. It has led to confusion with the misuse of some of the employees in our company.
  • It should have better integration with more payroll systems. They are currently offering some integration but it is not possible to fully integrate unless the payroll system is part of the compatible ones.
  • When a candidate applies from Indeed or any other job search engine, their resume tend to be modified and some dates get into the wrong places, so their parsing system should get some improvement, or at least allow to update the file that has been uploaded.

Return on Investment

  • Having the ability to post as many ads as possible for a fixed price each month is a great way of strongly staffing without spending the extra money. We used to spend more money a month when we used to post in Zip-recruiter directly.
  • It stores a lot of good functions to make sure each employee in our branches is doing the different calls and follow-ups they need to be doing daily, and it has helped the company improve personnel performance to 30%.
  • The Company has centralized all the employees' info into one system and it allows to improve the response and the times in response.

Compas and Gmail are friends and we like that

Pros

  • Integration with Gmail really helps us track messages between candidates and keep tabs of all our pipelines.
  • The resume parsing feature is really great and does a pretty accurate job of pulling the data from candidate resumes so that uploading new applicants is quick and easy.
  • The offer letter approval process feature that is built in is a great way for us to systemize the approval of offers and make sure it funnels into the appropriate channels.

Cons

  • If candidates submit a cover letter, it is only accessible through the "docs" tab. Or if they are nominated to the Hiring Manager and then the attachments come through. Other than that, there is no easy way to tell if a candidate has submitted a cover letter other than manually opening each candidate profile up. It would be nice if Hiring Managers could see if there is a cover letter attachment in the pipeline overview.
  • Emails aren't syncing properly from Gmail. I wish that once we sent a candidate a Gmail from Compass that all subsequent threads/ replies would be tracked in Compass so it would be all in on place.. easy to reference.
  • You can't move applicants from pipeline to the nominated status. It would be nice if there was most flexibility between moving candidates from pipeline to pipeline and to the nominated status.

Return on Investment

  • Doubled company size in a year (less than a year using compass). 50+ new hires globally.
