Comparison of Recruiting / ATS features of Product A and Product B
I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19.
In my opinion and based on my experience, if you are looking to hire professional "white collar" skill sets and establish yourself in that arena you must use LinkedIn. It is best to be very active and connect and reach out via InMails and emails to your skills sets and the groups they are in.
LinkedIn Talent provides customized templates that can be used to quickly reach out to candidates via LinkedIn InMail.
The pipeline feature allows recruiters and/or human resource directors to build, track, and manage candidates. It lets you organize candidates into folders and create lists with reminders.
You can share your activities, projects, searches, candidate profiles, and applicant notes with other people throughout the company.
While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault).
InMails. The con of sending InMails is that many times you don’t get a response back. Linkedin should have a feature where a recruiter can know if their InMails was even viewed. Better mechanisms need to be put in my place for the InMails feature.
Cost. LinkedIn recruiter is not cheap. I wish the cost could be a bit lower especially if there are multiple users.
Connectifier is not helpful for global candidates. Many of the candidates that I reach out to are international. Unfortunately, Connectifier isn’t helpful in obtaining email addresses for these international candidates.
The LinkedIn Talent Hub is a very easy to use and widely known by other users. If someone is hiring, its very visible and accessible. I have never had trouble posting exactly what I need. However, I have had trouble finding the candidate I am looking for. It tends to not bring in a lot of candidates
I'm giving this a 6 only because in my 1 year at my current position we have had 3 different reps. The first was unresponsive and passive when attempting to help us. When she came out to do a demo on a new feature launch it was scattered and all over the place. The person we have now is great and is super helpful when ever we need him.
These two systems are similar in that they track applicants, can store offers, automate email responses and allow easy job posting. I think that PeopleSoft is a little more advanced and has more overall options/safeguards, where as ApplicantPro is still in a learning phase both within themselves and for us as a company
LinkedIn Talent Hub is a really good product in theory and mostly in use. I just feel like listening to more of the feedback and reviews from customers this could be a top of the industry product. Indeed and especially Monster and Careerbuilder are just out dated and not relevant. LinkedIn Talent Hub has a great market opportunity to jump in and become a leader.
Positive ROI because it didn't cost us anything (yet). The system was chosen (not by me but I went in with an open mind) because they offered it to us for Free. The team was desperate and made a hasty decision based on cost and lack of understanding what an ATS should be capable of doing.
Negative ROI because it was a big waste of my time implementing it and finding workarounds and working with their support team on fixes and product participation meetings for them to improve the system
Negative ROI - it's been really buggy with us. I don't even know if or what jobs are in sponsored slots and there is no way for me to confirm this in the system. Even when I click on each job to view, it's giving inconsistent info to the point I don't trust it. I cannot run a report to identify which ones are being sponsored or not. This may be hurting us a lot more than I know.
