Lumesse - too big for certain britches.

Lumesse 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
- It's costly, not necessiarily the best for a smaller organization where an ATS isn't utilized as often
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.

We 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.
- We were able to standardized our process across the company.
- Easy access for managers to view the online application and resume.
N/A - This is the only applicant tracking system I've used.

Lumesse 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
- 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
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 like tracking and req creation, but I would not recommend it if additional features are used in your recruiting process

Lumesse 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.
- 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
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 media and automatically pushes postings out to free career boards like Indeed.com. I was also able to give hiring managers their own accounts with different levels of access to the information in the database so they could browse resumes and view the status on their open roles at their convenience.

Review of Lumesse and integration capabilities

Lumesse 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
- Letting you score candidates
- Collecting information in a precise manner
- Navigation is very difficult
- Clarification on what information can be found where
- More ability to cross reference information and compare candidates is needed
- Faster lead conversion
- Cleaner data (automatic integration)
- All information was in one place
- Oracle PeopleSoft
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.
