Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently use BrightMove for the entire recruiting cycle which includes posting a job announcement, screening and sourcing resumes, making appointments, and engaging candidates. The most beneficial use is for maintaining an organized approach to hiring and staffing positions for our vast network of clients across many different fields.
Pros
  • The overall ease of use. The functionality of all of the features are simple.
  • The ability to navigate through the various features makes the screening process more efficient.
  • Keeping track of candidates and job files.
  • Cross-posting of job announcements across 15 job boards.
Cons
  • I don't have any recommendations as BrightMove is constantly releasing updates and fixes which shows how committed they are to making the improvements that matter.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for recruitment for large and small firms.

Brightmove isn't the brightest option.

6 years of experience
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Brightmove within the recruiting department. It was used for tracking candidates through the recruiting and hiring process. In some situations the clients we were working with had access to certain areas of Brightmove so they could remain informed about positions we were working on for them.
Pros
  • Posting open positions to the web.
  • Tracking candidates who apply to positions on their own from links online.
Cons
  • Uploading resumes in bulk batches seldom works properly. Often times resumes will be missing from an uploaded batch. When this happens, time is lost figuring out which resumes were uploaded and which ones were not.
  • Attaching uploaded resumes to specific open jobs sometimes does not work correctly.
  • Searching for candidates in Brightmove is a challenge since the search functions within Brightmove are not very strong. True boolean search is not supported.
  • Emails sent to hiring managers from within Brightmove often suffer from unacceptable formatting. Because of this we would email hiring managers from our own email system rather than use the functions offered through Brightmove.
Likelihood to Recommend
I cannot think of scenarios where I would elect to utilize Brightmove. There are simply other tools available that are stronger and more reliable.

Brightmove is a MUST use for your ATS

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Brightmove is being utilized as an applicant tracking system for our recruiting team for our recruiting organization. It solves the problem of job application candidate management, job pipeline management, sending candidate communications and tracking their movement throughout the hiring process.
Pros
  • Ease of use is great. Drag and drop, quick activity tracking and more!
  • Visual workflow which is easy to see all open jobs and where candidates are in the process.
  • Data analytics dashboard is top notch.
Cons
  • Development cost for add-on features.
  • Implement email automation.
  • More intuitive exchange email integration.
Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmove is hands down the best applicant tracking system we have worked with at our recruiting firm. It combines excellent ease of use with an in-depth, user-friendly workflow that makes it easy for our staff to do their jobs but also maintain complete accountability.

Brightmove is a great product but their Info Tech team is small and slow

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Brightmove is used by our recruiting department. There are about 50 recruiters who support recruiting across the nation. Brightmove is used to hire about 4000 people per year. It is used to manage incoming resumes, and houses information on hiring managers. It also has an interface to our background check services.
Pros
  • Brightmove is intuitive and easy to learn and to use. It interfaces well with social media.
  • Brightmove has good capabilities to build interfaces to other systems, such as a background checking system.
  • In addition, Brightmove has a good record of being available.
Cons
  • Brightmove could use a better interface to Outlook
  • When Brightmove released a new version of its product, it had a new look and feel. My company was taken by surprise. We didn't realize that it was coming and had not trained for the changes. They did send an email, but we missed it. A phone call or two would have been a smart way to go.
  • There is a "shopping cart" for candidates; however, when you close Brightmove the cart goes away. There should be a warning message.
Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmove is well suited to a large active team of recruiters. It is too expensive to be good for a smaller shop, especially if there are several users. If you are considering this product, I recommend that you ask about upgrades and improvements, "up time", what the service response is like, what new interfaces they are planning, what will be included in the next release, and how that new release will be communicated in advance.

Use for Staffing!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Brightmove is being used for all job postings and the job board is implemented into our website. It is our sole Applicant Tracking System(ATS).
Pros
  • Tracking Candidates
  • Posting to Free Boards
  • Tracking activity
Cons
  • Focused on Staffing, find better solutions for Corporate recruiting
  • Allow Managers to have multiple offices
  • Improve visuals of job portals
Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmove is great for staffing companies. It needs improvement on the corporate side. Be sure to ask about its capabilities if you have more than one location. Currently a manager can be assigned to only one location. So you end up creating duplicate managers for each location. Brightmove is great for posting jobs in one place. The portal makes it easy.
