Overall Satisfaction with Ascentis

I am using the recruiting module of Ascentis, our company uses the HR module and payroll module. With the help of the Ascentis team we are just now working on them working in conjunction. For the recruiting side it helps with our applicant tracking and allowing better communication with the applicant.
  • Applicant tracking
  • Posting of open positions in one place
  • Tracking of open positions
  • Quick and efficient communication with applicants
  • We had little or no guidance at the beginning, that has changed now that we have a team helping us.
  • From a recruiting standpoint we have one and a half recruiters that have hired 200 new candidates this year. Without Ascentis recruiting tools I'm not sure we could have done this.
  • Applicant tracking alone has helped in our efficiencies.
Posting of jobs has been more efficient with the use of Ascentis. Keeps postings in one place and helps with applicant tracking keeping them in one place.
At first this rating was low. We now have a very progressive team that is engaging and very knowledgeable when it comes to business and Ascentis. They are more like co-workers and understand the problems we might run into and have been helping to solve them when we do. This team of Brenda and Jake have helped more in the last few month and given us direction.
