Lumesse is a UK-based vendor best-known for its recruitment capabilities. It has, however, expanded its offering into a complete talent management suite. The company has about 2,000 customers mostly in Europe.LumesseLumesse - too big for certain britches.2014-01-15T21:26:47.225ZLumesse was being used across the entire organization, worldwide. It was helpful in addressing our international recruitment for offices accross the pond as well as differentiating between our brands locally.,Lumesse was very flexible to create what our organization wanted the interface to represent.
Lumesse could be a bit cumbersome at times, with many layers and levels to click through to get to where you need to go.
It allow for lots of options, sometimes too many.,Simplicity is key. The user interface could use some work around where a button should be located and how intricate does one layer need to be,3,It's costly, not necessiarily the best for a smaller organization where an ATS isn't utilized as often,,1Kristi RainesGive Lumesse A Try!2014-01-25T23:10:13.529ZWe use Lumesse as an applicants tracking and it's being used company-wide. I like using Lumesse because everything is online.,Track candidates.
Quick Report.
One stop shop - meaning Lumesse holds all the information entered.
Share information with peers in other divisions.,The system is a bit slow. A faster version would be nice.
You can't us the back button arrow.
Too many clicks to get to what you want.,7,We were able to standardized our process across the company.
Easy access for managers to view the online application and resume.,,8,7Kay VannBasic ATS; Big Price Tag2014-02-26T20:36:33.274ZLumesse is used as the main Applicant Tracking System. It is used by Recruiting, HR and Hiring Managers. Our business uses Lumesse to track candidate applications, hires, run HR reports, create requisitions, and post positions to the external careers page. While the functionality of the product is limited and there are few ways to customize, it's better than using a cardboard box to hold resumes.,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,Lumesse needs to add timestamped features. When multiple users are in the system, its impossible to tell when or who made updates on reqs or candidates.
Candidate landing pages need to include more relevant information. It would be helpful to see more specifically what stage in the process they are in; i.e phone interview, submitted, waiting for feedback. Current functions are limited to New, Rejected, Hired
Creating reports needs to be more intuitive, when creating reports there are literally thousands of options, the options do not coincide with logical thought process and the labels do not give any indication of what one might be reporting on. There is much time spent on trial and error.
No personal training sessions were available. Only provided a 400 page manual to teach ourselves
When reporting, there are limited filter functions - sorting by date range is not a function at this time,2,The positive aspect is that it is a contained system that links with the external career page.
A negative impact has been because of user changes on reqs or candidate profiles, things get lost and much time is spent on figuring out what happened and because of the lack of timestamping, its impossible to tell if it happened 5 minutes ago or 3 years ago.
A negative impact has been user error do to very manual reporting.,Taleo,myStaffingPro,SAP CRM,2Megan TimmLumesse Review2017-03-29T20:48:44.949ZTwo of our clients uses Lumesse as their applicant tracking system, and it is used by the HR department of our clients. This is where they're able to hosue information about requisition, job titles, descriptions, statuses of candidates through the process etc. We're able to gather all the information we need for background screening from this as well.,The site is easy to navigate, which helps our workers not get lost looking for information.
We're able to add some customizations to the platform, which allows us to smooth out processes.,The search function isn't very good. Sometimes we're not able to find the candidates we're looking for, and if we type in a basic name, other names not at all related come up. This can add confusion/time and delays.,7,Lumesse give us the ability to accurately track candidates through the hiring process, which then in turn allows us to hire candidates quickly and compliantly, which is our overall goal for clients.
Accurate information that is easily accessible allows us to process candidates through the background screens quickly, which ensures candidates start and we're able to get paid for our filled positions.,Verified UserReview of Lumesse and integration capabilities2014-01-15T20:22:20.540ZLumesse is used by the organization as a talent recruitment tool. It was only used by the Human Resources function of our organization and not by the entire organization. We would post jobs that were connected to Lumesse and use it full cycle through the recruiting process. We had Lumesse integrated in to our HRIS system, Workday.,Tracking information on candidates

Cleaner data (automatic integration)
All information was in one place,Oracle PeopleSoft,5Laura GrilloTrue Experience Using Lumesse Globally2016-02-19T17:42:30.991ZLumesse was our global system for talent acquisition, used on multiple countries around the world and was available in 15 different languages. It supported the entire recruiting cycle, from requisition approval to offer acceptance. It was integrated with our SAP HR core-system of records for job information and compliance reporting.,Mobile device application, since many of our hiring managers are on the "road" and have little time to get into computer systems.
User interface is simple and intuitive.
True cloud-based system, that can be configured and supported by non-technical personnel.,The system needs to be more stable and available all the time, we had some unplanned downtime.
Reports can be improved, it is a bit complicated.
The integration with SAP should be pre-built and made available, building this was a bit complicated.,7,By switching to Lumesse, we were able to save about 60% of the system cost (i.e. license, support, maintenance).
We reduced our abandon rate from about 30%, since the previous system prevented applicants interested in our job from applying.
We were able to get hiring managers more engaged in the talent acquisition process.,,Cornerstone OnDemandVerified UserAlbatross2014-01-16T18:14:55.022ZLumesse TalentLink is our company's applicant tracking system. It is accessed only by the Recruiting department, and we utilize it to post jobs to our company website. It was originally intended to be a tool for centralizing and reporting on department information and metrics.,Lumesse allows users to customize their dashboards. Applications can be added or removed at the individual's preference.,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.,1,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.,viRecruit,Talent Secure,Jobvite,1Verified User
