Chose ADP VirtualEdge
I have not used many software that are similar to ADP VirtualEdge, but ADP VirtualEdge has made the hiring process a much simpler task.
Chose ADP VirtualEdge
ADP VirtualEdge is more specifically [for] applicant tracking and hiring whereas Workforce Now is more for human resources management. It is more specifically targeted to hiring instead of general management. It is also less supported and can take longer to get it help. …
Chose ADP VirtualEdge
ADP VirtualEdge is way more expensive than most options but there are a lot of customizable options available. Great at tackling many different situations all in one place but customizations tend to be ad hoc.

ADP VirtualEdge is a great system which creates a more efficient and effective way of business.

Likelihood to Recommend
ADP VirtualEdge is best for companies who are already using ADP’s compensation platform. It is also good for companies who are smaller in size and do not utilize a lot of other systems as it can quickly add up in price. It is better for organizations with smaller HR teams.

Employees that come into work are needed to clock in to get paid for the amount of time they are working per day. They will log on to Darwinbox and clock in as soon as they can. Some will use the PTO they have available to use. HR will be able to make payroll in a timely manner for employees.

Pros
  • Previously, it was more difficult to store all the resumes that we received, since there were many candidates for the jobs that we had open in our company, however, ADP VirtualEdge gave me a better handling of resumes, the platform stores all the resumes in chronological order Resumes received and this makes it easier to read each of these.
  • I love the duplicate candidate prevention function, sometimes people make mistakes when applying for a job and this causes the application to be duplicated, this platform performs this process automatically and prevents duplicate applications, it is fantastic.
  • It has an excellent integration with my social networks, which helps me to be able to make publications of the available jobs and also allows me to see details in real-time of the applications that I have received from those publications in my social networks.
  • It provides me with a section where I can manage all the interviews. For me, it is one of the most important functions since I can have a much higher order for the interviews that I have scheduled.

Cons
  • One of the things I don't like about ADP VirtualEdge is that it doesn't allow me to conduct interviews online. Many other platforms that I have used in the past allowed me to conduct interviews online without having to do it in person. With the current problems due to COVID-19, this has become a very important functionality that ADP VirtualEdge does not offer me, since online interviews would be an option to avoid physical contact.

  • It can improve its UI a little better and make it look more user friendly
  • It can provide a deep analysis about things and should provide a download feature for the analytics shown
  • It should increase its scalability for large organisation as i think it wont be able to handle it

Great tool, however the bugs mar its user experience. If solved for, and if the UI is improved on, it will be an amazing tool

SmartRecruiters was one of the first candidate management platforms we used at our company, however, it did not provide us with effectiveness in our hiring industry. For us, ADP VirtualEdge far surpasses SmartRecruiters since it is faster when it comes to generating reports on the hiring than there has been in a specific period of time, SmartRecruiters takes approximately 10 minutes to generate a complete report on the applications received and the hires performed, while ADP VirtualEdge generates reports in real-time and I should not wait any time to see the progress that I have had in the administration of candidates.

Return on Investment
  • We are able to hire more qualified people for each new job in our company. The quality of employees progressively improved as we hired people with better skills and better job ideas.
  • Ease of managing candidate resumes and applications, there was no need for a manual process to manage candidates.
  • Quick recruitment. Previously, it took us a long time to analyze and visualize the applications of new candidates. With ADP VirtualEdge we can have a faster recruitment thanks to the fact that this system automatically orders the candidates with the best skills.
