Overall Satisfaction with Lumesse

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lumesse 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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

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.
