Avature ATS vs. Eightfold AI

As it is a very complete tool, with many features and that sometimes ends up being a little complex, I would recommend it only for medium-sized companies. Perhaps in a large company, it could complicate the processes a little instead of making it easier. But it's a great tool!

Looking at Eightfold from a holistic approach, it is an essential tool for a fast growing company (ideally Mid-Market to Enterprise) to utilize this technology. By having access and the ability to search for previous applicants or candidates through our pre-existing pool, is a game-changer. As a company continues to grow, one will need to think of different avenues to find your next batch of employees - why not start with a group that has already engaged with your brand in the past.

• Search capabilities - ability to pipeline top talent.
• Communication with hiring managers in the hiring manager portal - resumes/notes don't get lost in email and are always accessible to anyone involved in the hiring process.
• Ability to customize - we've been able to change work flows for different needs, and different business groups as well.

• Integration with our ATS (Greenhouse) and other social media outlets (LinkedIn)
• Cross-functional ability to build drip campaigns and allowing the platform to do a lot of back lifting
• Accessibility for Hiring Managers to use a portal for existing candidates

• Easily over-engineered. While it's great to be able to customize, there are times where there are too many choices.
• Would like to see it integrate better with our HRIS system.
• Still a lot of manual steps in the workflow.

Incentivized

• Reporting- not all accounts are set up to run reports, however, I feel like this should be standard across all users.
• Integration with other VMS-based systems- right now it only works for 1 type of system, so we are left to manually publish all open roles.
• Centralized candidate tab, where you can filter and search for candidates based on a variety of filters.

It is good but needs improvements.

Avature is much better than OpenHire! OpenHire didn't give us the ability to share resumes or notes through the system and was very complicated to keep track of candidates that applied to multiple jobs or duplicate candidates. Was also very archaic in the interfacing and usability. Avature gave us many more options to customize our system.

We found that Eightfold [AI] offered greater functionality than other vendors and their partnership with SuccessFactors ensured our ATS integration would go smoothly. Eightfold offers CRM capabilities, AI matching, marketing campaigns, and a careers page landing site. The breadth of services offered is what ultimately made the selection an easy one for us.

• Ability to be more efficient in hiring, leading to faster hire times
• Easier to keep clean data for OFCCP or AAP audits
• Spend a lot of time altering or changing workflows/process/manually moving things along

• I believe there will be many positive impacts, but I have only used it for about a week so I don't have any real results to report yet.
